Rubles with 5 assist but I truly didn't think either he nor Jackson played very well. But again to get a win in Tampa is something I'll take.
jeff I really think we miss JL

Seriously doubtful but we NEED Lawrence for that game. Our depth down low is killing us in so many facets. JJ fouls early, he gets yanked, Nyarsuk isn't even given a chance to contribute (just stands there when he's in), and the rest aren't all that big. Strickland redshirting really sucks. We become a "pass around the perimeter till we find an open three" team when we have nobody down low in. It also hurts defensively. Easy to get to the hoop and out rebounded like crazy.

Exactly, I'll take it, but I'm less sold on this team than I've been in a long time. We need to play Louisville like NTS said and we need JL.

They shot 37% from the three point line that wasn't the issue. You take that every night. The issue was offensive rebounds and 5 turnovers by Titus Rubles. Mentally they weren't ready to play.

I've said all year the loss of Strickland was huge for this team. Losing Lawrence is certainly a blow with nobody to fill the gap. I think he will be back by the Louisville game. Would like to see him get one in prior.

Rubles has been tentative and indecisive. Seems like he doesn't know what he wants to do when he gets the ball
