Jemison will make me bald way before I should be.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Anyone want to count up what the score'd be, if we were hitting our FTs?

 

[BigAL413]

That was too quick by Riley...

Starting to make up for fouls.. clearly a jump ball

Zone?

Halftime.

 

[CornBiscuit]

Why i said zone...

Who runs that with one possession left?

 

[Crimson Speed]

For the life of us, we just can't play consistent defense.

 

[BigAL413]

That wasn't Gee's fault. As a back man, he is not responsible for the wing - especially when there are men in his zone. Probably still should have forced Hansborough to make the extra pass to the man in the corner.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Well, we oughta be leading, but I can take this performance a lot better than the last several...

 

[BigAl5833]

Looking pretty good right now other than FT. We have did this several times this year though and then came out flat after halftime. I hope they suprise me today and make some adjustments and show how they should have been playing all year.

Agree.

Yet another drained three.

It's like every team we play suddenly has Larry Bird show up the day before they play us.

Seriously, I would love to know our opponent's three point shooting percentage in comparison to the other teams in the conference. We have to be allowing that at a higher rate than any other team in the conference.

As many fouls as we've drawn , we may get to lose this one from the FT line .

Despite that last three, the guards started getting out better on the jumpers, after a lazy start.
