We are 8-0 but haven?t really played that well yet. That says something for us but if we play like we have these first 8 games tomorrow night and we fire up 30 3?s and make 20 percent of them, we will get beat by 20. We are at our best when being aggressive to the basket. Peters penetrating and dishing or a Weatherspoon trying to finish at the rim. Interested to see how Ado does tomorrow as well
Haven’t seen Cincy play but say we’re going to get smoked. Great talking with ya. Maybe you didn’t see but Peters and Q are starting to warm up from three land. Between the two of them they hit 7 threes on Saturday. But whatevs. We will get smoked. Also, our halfcourt offense is improving and our biggest issue IMO has been health and suspensions. We will have everyone back and healthy for this game. I think it will be competitive but we might not win it but we still will go 12-1 in the OOC schedule and odds are good start the SEC 4-1 for a 16-2 start. But I doubt that will bring our fans back to the Hump because for some reason people would still say we sucked even if we started the season 16-2. It seems our fans want to be chic that way.
We have played well in spurts but have lost focus when we turn some games into blowouts. In the SFA game, we went up 16 and lost focus and still found a way to win in the end. We boat raced Dayton for the first 25 minutes of the game and went up 21 and lost focus the last 10 or so minutes to win it in the end. This game against Cincy will be the first game we will have everyone back from suspension and injury. I just want to see us go out there and give 100% effort for 40 minutes, continue to play great defense, and be patient in our halfcourt offense. That means taking perimeter shots or driving to the basket for layups or drawing fouls within the flow of the offense. If we do that, we will definitely like the result as I believe we would beat them straight up. I think they will have fits with Nick W and Peters applying ball pressure out front at the point of attack. We should have opportunities to turn them over and get easy offense that way as well. Florida scored about 30 points off their turnovers and I think our guards can have similar success.
We’ve got to find our stroke from 3 and knock down open looks in the flow like you say. We don’t need forced 3’s unless shot clock is winding down. We’ve forced a bunch of quick 3’s so far this season. We need to try and be a little more patient and run sets to get open looks
I don't understand why you say we have been "forcing" threes...some, yes, but most have been open looks that we just haven't knocked down.
That said, we still need to attack the rim and push the ball on defensive rebounds. We are as good as anybody in transition.
One key will be staying out of foul trouble and having to sub in Stone Hands Herard. He?s really regressed and seems to have trouble holding on to the back almkst every time he touches it.
Y’all watching this game?
34th was way too high. Idiots gave them 8 votes.
34th seems accurate.
