MBK vs SF

[Tater]

Ever heard of decorum?!!??

De forum is not de place for decorum.

Yeah. That's cute. We just don't agree on this one Tater. No worries though. We're all facing the same direction when it comes to our Dawgs.

I mean, calling a player a bastard and a piece of shit does seem to cross the line. Talk about a player's performance all day with all the colorful language as most of us do at times but calling players ugly names makes it personal and seems inappropriate. Now if you mean let the mod handle it instead, I certainly get that.

Finally someone gets my point. I know there are others that feel the same way but don?t want to stir the pot. I just think it?s crossing the line in how we treat humanity. I wasn?t taught to talk about people that way.

We struck out on the portal. Nothing can be done to fix this season, but we can go with a youth movement to see if any of these guys can help us next year. Jans will get a shot to fix it next year and he should

The good news for us is that the SEC is not very good as a conference. So going with a youth movement is not waving the white flag. I think we need something like:

Hubbard
Epps
Ali
???
JDF


I don't know who you'd put at the 4. I'd be ok with Walker there. I'd also be ok with moving Ali to the 4 and putting either Macura or Paul at the 3.

I definitely wanna see more macura and Ali

Ali is just inconsistent. His shot selection is really bad. He needs to watch 1000 hours of Brandon Ingram tape and learn how to play like that. He's trying to play like Kevin Durant right now.

Macura is working back from injury and still adjusting to the physicality of American basketball.

[R2Dawg]

A lot

Wait a minute; I've been told a 1000 times if you spend money you win. It is automatic? Half the teams out there have wasted their money and not won. Mullen taught us half teams lose each week so 50% wasted their money.

[CaptainObvious]

Thankfully, we have another 4 weeks to talk about Football! And after that it will only be 42 days until baseball starts! Enjoy the women playing basketball. They will struggle against the Top SEC teams, but are still fun to watch. The men?meh?. Not so much.

I still have big hopes for Davis-Fleming, so I'll continue to watch. I also think macura has a future. Hopefully these 2 really progress, so we can have them with Hubbard to build around for next season

Spending doesn't guarantee winning, but not spending pretty much guarantees losing

It is still all about recruiting and spending the money on the right guys.

Take a look at Kentucky. Spent, per reports, upwards of 10 mil on their roster. 5-4 and can't stop a cold defensively.

Was at the game with family and friends. Ahead, 61 to 60 and had two fouls to give and Jans didn't use them to take time off the clock for SF to have less time to score. We then foul the shooter with 9 seconds to go.*****

Jones started again, got 36 minutes, 4 points with a fantom tip in and missed all his "Dr. J" three attempts. With a healthy Hubbard, we probably win (Jones put him out.*****BTW), Jones also had a very lazy in bounds pass, followed by watching the SF player dunk after the "steal" with 9 seconds to go. I said from Day One if he is a starter, this team is doomed. He is a energy 5 to 10 minutes off the bench guy at best.JMO.

1. Jans was yelling at them to foul from the second that guy started driving. Just bad communication. That's on Jans ultimately but he wanted us to foul right there.

2. Completely agree on Jones. 15-20 minutes OFF THE BENCH MAX. Him starting is basically playing 5 on 4 on the offensive end.

Isn't that sorta pope's style?

[msstate7]

I have to believe that we will start Epps, Hubbard, McGhee, Davis-Fleming, and Ballard/walker Saturday. Bring macura, Ballard/Walker, and jones off bench. Maybe achor and Warren sparingly

[StarkVegasSteve]

It's his style to be able to score as well though. They're averaging a smidge under 70 against P4 opponents and giving up 85

[DawgFromOxford]

Any update on Hubbard?

You really believe Jans won't give Jones 40 minutes? Jans probably creamed his pants that early second half hustle steal that Jones had.
