Haters are always welcome....

That's what happens when a team plays tough defense and you get rattled by the crowd. You don't look very good.

Tyshon Taylor absolutely killed us on both sides of the floor as well. Terrible.

It seems we live and die with him. He was the only reason we tied the game up at 64-64.

Really hope Self gets these kids back on the ball mentally.

I wouldn't exactly say Xavier hasn't done shit. He has been very productive.

That said, I would like to see him attacking the basket more, instead of relying on only outside shots. He is too strong to just stand out there and shoot jumpshots. I literally think he can get to the basket whenever he wants, and I think this needs to happen MUCH more often.

I think we fall to 5. Especially with the other huge upsets this weekend.

Na. They will stay in the top 5.

Eh you are wrong.

Bruce Pearl has a good record at The Summit regardless who he is playing.

We didn't lose to an unranked team or anything...

Am I worried...nope.

KU will drop to #3, I'm sure.

Usually they pull these out at the end, though.

TONS of dumbass turnovers, bad defense, and dumbshit fouls.

I almost threw my TV through the wall when Morris put the ball on the floor in all that traffic. Seriously. WTF are you doing?

Taylor's defensive "effort" on that off-balance three that kid hit to ice the game was horrendous. He didn't even attempt to get a hand up when the kid was squaring up.

I agree...I was speaking mainly on this game. I hardly noticed him 'till he had the and one towards the end of the game.

They'll probably go to 4, maybe 5. Behind UT KU Duke and possibly Villinova. I guess it kind of depends on how the voters look at Tennesee.

He's also the reason they turned around and went up by four a mere 20 seconds later.

Reminded me of the Memphis game, really. Except we got more calls in that one.

Not unranked, but without those players, they are significantly less talented.

3 is an outside chance. Today wasn't our day, we played horrible, beat ourselves more than anything. To be fair, Tenn. D was good all day.

Just a speed bump in the the road. I expected about 3, maybe 4 losses this year.

Not gonna be behind Duke. They lost to GT. Do you even watch College Basketball?
