Both Groves brothers are not athletic enough to play the positions they play in the Big 12 - unless they shoot the 3 at a very high level. So far they have not.

TGroves is 30% from 3 and JGroves is 39% - which is not bad if you can do a bunch of other things - rebound, defend, score of the dribble - but he doesn't do those things well.

Then add GS, who is a nice player, but again not athletic or long. Uzan and Hill are really the only athletes who match up in our starting 5.

The mismatch of athlete was on full display last night.

39% is way better than "not bad"....that is a very good percentage...although I agree about the other things.

The game of basketball is funny.

Tanner proved he can help vs athletes…. He plays like yesterday he can play all day.

Bama is just as athletic as tcu Ku Baylor ksu etc…

If he plays like that the rest of the year and stays on the floor, we’re in the tournament. Hill and Sherfield are rounding into more consistent form, bench is working itself out, Oweh providing some pop…just need that passion and energy from Tanner every night.
