We are actually looking pretty good right now. 24-17 us still in the first half.
I'm watching. Achor shooting too many 3s.
God almighty. We have Hubbard and Epps out there, and jones and walker wanna play one on one. Sit both of them, and chew our guards out for not going and getting the ball
Few thoughts:
Best energy we?ve had all year. Officials letting them play. GT sucks. Jans has taken a couple of guys out of the rotation and that has helped.
He came in with the reputation of being a good three point shooter. Heck, he played for Bucky Ball McMillan at Samford.Quote:

We look better on the defensive end, especially our rotation out of the double team. Rebounding is good so far too
Anyone else getting a "You are not authorized to view this content." message?
Davis-Fleming might be big time before long
Yeah, I remember him in that tourney run. When we 3-4 and he's shooting 15% from 3, I want him to chillQuote:

Do we even have an offensive system?
No we don?t!Quote:

Fleming will be a force at some point. He has all the tools you want a big to have.. He and Brandon Walker are actually the best two post options we have as of now. They both should continue getting the majority of the minutes at the 4 and 5. I know Walker can do too much at times but Ill take what Ive seen out of them 2 over what Ballard and Achor have shown us.Quote:

Has Jans EVER designed a successful play on the last possession of the half? I cannot remember 1. Maybe with 24.5 seconds, just go immediately into scoring mode. Even if you miss you may get the offensive rebound or put back. Whatever he draws up for the final play never works! And we all know having a Big bank a 3 pointer for the win last week was not the play drawn up!
We need to come out in the second and attack the basket, and avoid the patented 5-7 minute scoreless run that Jans? teams seem to always possess. Of course, we need Hubb & Epps to heat up.
Epps
Hubbard
...
Davis-Fleming
Ballard/walker
Man, if we had a good option for that spot, this team's outlook would be so much better. Maybe 11 will be that guy
Jones does some great things, but he's just terrible shooter
I want Epps running point, not Josh
If we can find a third consistent threat to score there is still time for this team to make some noise.
How the f do we keep losing Reeves
Seems like we always make stars out of opposing players. Reeves is at his season high with 14:00 left.
Not happeningQuote:

Elephant in the room. Josh Hubbard is a great player, but Josh Hubbard's lack of size and point guard skills makes him a very difficult player to build around.Quote:

Big 3 from Hubb
And he gets 9 pts after this post in a hurry.Quote:

I like McGhee off the dribble.
You go get a big guard to pare him with. Instead we sign Clary last year and Epps this year. Puzzling. And definitely should have signed a 3 and D small forward.Quote:

I really like Davis-Fleming
Hubs main strenght is that he is a 90+% FT shooter and he needs to lay off the 3s and go for the old fashion 3s. Which ne is deadly atQuote:

We need to invite Lawrence Roberts and Mario Austin back to Starkville to teach our bigs how to post up?..spread out, wide base, and demand the ball. Ballard plays straight up, never bends his knees! It?s a head scratcher how we coach our bigs in my opinion.
Tech is really bad. And we were favored. But a road win is always a good thing.
