****Bama vs. UGA Postgame Thread***

I think they had more "clock sense" last night. They also had a lot more motion. As I said in the game thread, it looks like CAG has taken some of the restraints off Hipsher and therefore the kids. I agree that the screens seem to be a waste of clock. It's not that the screens don't get set. I don't blame the big guys. However, the guards aren't "scraping off" the screener, giving time for the defender to run around the screener and arrive at the shooting spot simultaneously with the shooter. Worse, since we don't have a second big to dump into when one is screening, other teams recognize that and double the screen. This gives the shooter the problem of facing an immediate double team instead of a clean shot...

Pretty good analysis. It doesn't help that Gueye is not an offensive threat and is probably a higher risk of dropping the ball or traveling if they threw it to him, Jacobs is more likely to get a charge and doesn't seem comfortable unless he is within six feet of the basekt with his back turned to it.

It seems to lead to more clogging than anything. I'm not sure what the answer unless we could screen with two guards like some NBA teams do.
 
If we somehow manage to finish strong down the stretch and finish 2nd in the conference, talking heads are saying regardless how we finish we dont get in to the tournament. How in the world does the selection committee explain that the 2nd SEC team doesnt get in the tournament but you drop down and take an Ole Miss?? Kentucky is headed nowhere fast with the injury to Noel. If that is truly the case, then the SEC is looking at a 1 team bid for the tourney - an all-time low for the conference. Florida is likely a FF team. But overall, the state of basketball in the SEC is in the toilet right now.

We complain about the crowd support at our games. Did anyone see the crowd support at UGA last night? It was worse than the attendance that I have seen at some women's events...

No way the SEC gets only 1 in the tournament -- UK will get in even with 11 or 12 losses --

I think they get 3 or 4 -- we would be 4 -- possibly we could be #3 if Ole Miss collapses like I think they will......
 
I feel awful... I thought the game was tonight. I never saw it on the guide, but I was also dealing with a sick wife and three kids!

It happened to us in Grant's 2nd year. We finished 2nd in the SEC at 12-4. UF won the SEC at 11-3. We did not make the tournament.

I guarantee we average better than 10,000 during the conference schedule and around 6500 to 7000 for the non conference schedule. Coleman Coliseum's design makes it look empty even when there is a decent crowd. I'd estimate there was around 13,000 there for the LSU game and that was after the zombie apocalypse at boogville last week. Pretty good I thought after the worst performance by a Bama team I can remember.

Since we won the game I vote that you don't watch another game for the rest of the year, clearly your lack of eyeballs on the tv set was the missing ingredient to our offense. :smile:

Also, UGA went to the tourney with a worse conference record, and we beat them twice in the same week. :frown:

That year we tanked in the Virgin Islands and this year with tanked against Mercer and Tulane. I can live with the losses to Dayton and VCU, but those other two are inexcusable.

Sadly I think the result is gonna be the same. The auburn loss really adds to that, we needed to win all our games outside of ole miss and Florida IMO to have a chance.

No doubt. I think our non-conference record was 8-6, the RPI was in the 80's, and the sos was above 100. I was miffed that UGA received a bid over us.
