Need more Holman at the 5 today if we want to win.
I think for either or both of them to be effective, Lamar and Nick are gonna have to penetrate and break down the defense so we can get the inside/out game going. We simply can't get lazy on the perimeter, run down the shot clock and take bad shots. If we ever needed Lamar to play with swagger AND control his emotions, today is the day. Holman plays the 5 when we go "small" and we were very effective against Vandy offensively like that. Unfortunately, that's also when we gave up a number of easy layups from poor defensive rotations...we won't get away with that on the road at Bama.
BTW, anyone going to the game? I see where it's a sellout...gonna be a hostile environment!
We really need nick get it going again. He has not played very well since the ark game.
ETA ? until I hear for sure Sexton is not playing, I assume he will. If nick can slow him down, I do not care if nick even scores. Someone will have to slow Sexton down
??? Holman is well on his way to playing himself onto a NBA roster. His outside shot keeps improving and his length makes him a huge mismatch.
We can win this game. We cannot be sloppy. And most importantly we cannot allow one single player to heat up like we seem to do most games. The reason Bama beat Auburn was Side show Bob heating up and sinking all those threes the other night. If we disrupt and don?t allow someone to get hot we can win by going down low to Holman and Ado.
On my way to Tuscaloosa...someone start a game thread later. I hope whatever Bama fans that will be sitting around me have a sense of humor!
Who remembers the miracle comeback in Coleman when Timmy Bowers put the team on his back and willed us to a W. Want to say we were down 15-20 points with just 2-3 minutes left. Damn that game was special and one MSU game I?ll bever ever forget.
Nvm, I see your reasoning. Didn?t read it all before.
Vandy close to beating LSU.
We play them together- and then when they get in foul trouble or need to rest- we have Datcher and the X-Man at the 4 and 5. We become really shitty when that happens,
Start them together for the 1st 4 mins- then at the 16:00 time-out start rotating them at the 5. It's whats best for this team.
I can't believe we're only a 5.5 pt dog. Bama has manhandled us for the last 5 years. Bama 68-46.
