Kid got literally baptized on the stage, a lot of good things, but clearly things to get right. However, seven games in, he's more battle tested then all season at GT. I think he processes it, seems sharp, gonna see what he does.
I'd really like to see him tighten up his handle; it works.. but it's not efficient at all.
Not sure what the problem is, but I am curious why we start our half court offense literally right below the half court logo. Too often George has the ball way out there and everyone else is at the 3 point circle or close to the basket. This is great if you have a speedy point guard who can blow by anyone, but George ain’t that. So what does he set up out there over and over? If Kyle sets a screen and rolls.. he gets the ball at the top of the key where he can’t do anything with it. I don’t understand.
Loving these discussions. I’m now 56 years old. I was still at ESF at this time, in my long road to graduation. My 22 year old son was born in 2003.
Good to see Donnie jumping around after the game.
It’s not easy, replacing a hall of famer that left on a down period, the fan base is beyond hungry for winning. At the same time, our rival to our southeast is running a well oiled machine. I think though that the program has gone through a lot to get back to having the talent level on the roster needed for success. I know Red talks a lot about the level 5 energy and not having dips, but that’s really what it is. If this team can give full energy 40 minutes night in and night out, follow the scouting reports, and knock down the shots the defense gives you. We’re going to win a lot more games than we lose.
5 in 12 days coming up. Psyched for tomorrow.
actually ten just beat alabama...maybe they will make the ncaat
Bamas G-Leaguenpick up played well.Tennessee just knocked off Alabama.
They seem to be getting better - there was some game a couple weeks ago where they were getting blown out and Ament really seemed to try to take over in the second half. He's been much better since then (when I've watched) - more assertive. Although they did mention tonight he didn't do much against Kentucky earlier in the week. Still, I think they make the tourney if Ament is consistent.
Although Carey got hurt tonight...that would leave them in a bit of trouble if he misses time.
I guess 'Bama & Oata are going to be back to the waiver wire after this loss.
