What did Cliff do?

He breathed in the wrong direction.

 

[day-day]

Oats wanted a quick shot to try to go 2-for-1. Holloway delivered.

 

[AUDub]

Perfectly happy with a 7 point lead.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Shoulda seen that allez-op coming...

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, after a few minutes of "what are we doing", we finally figured out we have to play defense too. Wish that last one would have gone, but that was a strong finish to the first half. Let's keep it up.

Cliff has 8pts 8 boards in a half. Nicely done.

it is the cavernous confines of Coleman that make us shoot so poorly from 3 at home?

It seems to be just fine for other teams

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Sherrell was left covering two players as Youngblood went over the screen and into Never-Never land.

 

[CajunCrimson]

We struggle with corner 3s this year.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Feel much better now.

We struggle with corner 3s this year.

yeah too bad this isn't the NES game Double Dribble. we would never miss

 

[CajunCrimson]

Watching LSU and Florida. Officiating for at the rim shots may be the most inconsistent year ever. Sometimes the whistle happens even before the shot. Wild.

We are not really a great 3 point shooting team especially with Stevenson struggling all year with his shot. Dioubate, Cliff, Nelson, are not shooters. Honestly I don’t think we are even a very good offensive team in half court in general. But we get some stops and get out and go we are as deadly as anyone in the country.

Eh, we’ve shot the lights out of Coleman before.
With that said, did we used to practice in Coleman and not the practice gym?

It was the opposite last year. We shot great at home and not so much on the road at times (mainly at the end of the year). I think it's just this team.

Way back, yes. Years ago, when I lived - and played - on Northington campus, the rims were 2" low. Coach Hank Crisp (one-armed) who had recruited Coach Bryant was in charge of the gyms. We begged for an adjustment and never got one. When I played elsewhere, I couldn't hit anything, always scraped...

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, we need to make the lay ups.
