Needed that!
We couldn't have butchered the end of the first any worse and now we need to get past the first 5 minutes of this half.
What I am hearing from this board is we can't get in front of driving guards which is partially true and has hurt us in the Tournament and sent us packing against AR and Nova but most teams can't get in front either. The hammer in these games is you need a rim protector and board workers who limit second chances. The big guards who are downhill players like Divincenzo would have a tough time against KJ who can stay in front of them. We have Flory and Zach who are instinctive shot blockers. Zach is long and aggressive and no fear. I know we give him little respect but I think he will hold his own more often than not as his minutes allow him to blossom. KJ is a real athlete and is better and better in the lane however he is not an elite ball handler but a a sneaky good passer. Zach, Shak and Zeke. And just because Jamari acts like he is lost he will factor as a defender and sneaky rebounder. There is just way too much on this deep squad with an actual tough ass bench. All players want to be on the court and we may actually see Juan being rested. Self didn't have a choice the last two years but we can hammer the eff on opponents heads all year. Self wants to assuage his ego and romp ass. I want blood and as we said in the Corps "Killing's our Business and Business is Good."

That maybe was Wilt's national title game against the Tar Heels. The triple overtime one. Played at the old Muni in KCMO, 1957. Frank McGuire coached against Dick Harp.
We should run ourselves when we get turnovers and missed shots. I know Hunter is good at quickly making the outlet pass. We have speed this year.
I know I had mentioned my grandnephew an AA RB out of SDSU. He made the Jets final 53 man roster as the #3 rb and is one of the two deep return guys on kickoffs. Also he is on kickoff coverage every time. #32.
I watch some NBA games now. I didn't watch at all for years and it is all about the 3 ball. The Celtics put up over 40 attempts a game with Tatum attempting 11.6 and shooting 37%.
Our basic offense was to put Gradey or Furphy in the corner over and over and play 4 on 4 against a packed in defense. We were bad at treys and our record suffered as a result. I don't think we will see that this year and then we will become hard to guard all over and since Hunter and KJ are above average passers we are going to be a high scoring team. Juan might average about 9 or 10 dimes with all our scorers or so I think.
Outside of the inherent evil taking over in January there is a much more damaging result set loose with Project 2025 courtesy of the Heritage foundation. Sad day at Black Rock.
Good deal and I hope you enjoy it. You could get a rainbow afro wig and a John 3:16 tee shirt so maybe we could pick you out.
We have some on good ball defenders. Storr certainly is.
Zach attack!
Mayo putting on a clinic.
Houston had a better first half than we did 52 - 13.
This is the longest Zach has been in a game since highschool.
Really?
Here we are, well I'm here and you all are somewhere else. So many new players for us to tear down or the reverse and I mean I am a master of overreacting so that's what I bring to the table and as a preseason Board MVP contender I will post stupid shit all year. I did vote early and hope you all vote too.
I do not know who will win but it will not be a good idea to storm the Capital again.
Just watched the Washburn game and you know if spell check is stumped it's not a well known team. I found myself trying to nickname our offense and came up with the PAC-MAN or just plain corn maze. Let's just say we haven't jelled yet and I hope we can fairly quickly because of the big time games coming soon. It was amazing to see how a team that had to reach to score 70 points last year breezed to 84 just by hitting three pointers. Washburn played pretty good defense I thought and Ballard looked in control of things which is nice to see. The two man trap on our point guards worked effectively three or four times.
You ain't dissenting with me. His rim finishes were improved a lot. He was smooth and Boogie pissed him off and that is when he started playing downhill. Our shooting was abysmal and our man to man got torched by the Hog's bigger guards. I guess our offense will be get it inside, inside, inside. I think we can be a big time alley-ooping machine if Flory realizes he needs to be ready every time. Zach didn't play very well but he was the only one who seemed offended by the over the top physical stuff and pushed back. Flory needs to drop into the rim protector position because we will see a lot of guards in the lane.
Goodnight and take an aspirin.
Still playing hard.
Eff you Boogie.
Bland has been best man so far.
Flory will kill Brazille
With KJ as our go to man on offense is what it is in this game.
I can't find it on plus. ESPN owns SEC Network. The quality on the SEC Network's games is a little lacking with B team announcers and fewer cameras. IDK if that will be the case tonight.
@jayballer67 They will do things like agree to press at the start of a quarter for 5 minutes or both play zone.
SEC Network waiting for the women's VB to end.
Nikki Hiltz the American 1500m olympic trials winner is transgender and in the Paris Olympics. Hiltz was born female and cannot receiver gender affirming care including testosterone to be able to compete. The East Germans doped up their men and women athletes with steroids and dominated the Olympics with 519 medals with 409 in the summer games and 110 in the winter games. I see that we are retesting weight lifters samples from past Olympics and one year they retested for and they took away the gold medal and declared the next medalist the winner and then guess what? They went down to about 14th place to get a final medal awards.
This is America and so it's always about the money.
Another post about my grand nephew he was just selected by the Jets in the 5th round. 6'1" 220 rb. Isaiah Davis. Hope he makes it good.
1100 entries I see. Wanting play time or better NIL? I wonder if the rating makers at Rivals, etc. are looking at their choices and seeing how right and wrong they ended up being.
Furphy is sitting at around 15 in the draft. He's gotta be gone isn't he?
I am going to watch Edey as a pro to see if he has modern center skills. There are so many mobile big guys from international countries playing now.
If this team could have shot for s### Juan would have led the nation in assists. I heard Self ordered new computer controlled rims for Allen.
Why did they foul?
Gonzaga has given up.
Eating dust in their rear view mirror.
Getting our shots. They are getting easier shots. Furphy looks tired or not excited.
If we can make them play catch up.
Parker was I don't know what. Watch for the second half be a foul fest. Just saying.
We imploded at 24 points and then exploded and Few has our defense down.
They are not usually a great three pointer team but we're against McNeese
Personal foul for his haircut.
@wissox Ike with the foul
Doink, TO, Doink Doink, Gave up Off rebound. No!!
Wow we are getting blown out by the bettors. Isn't a sweet 16 on the line? I think Bill will get us good looks just need to look to the future. Looking to see Furphy have an all around impact on the game. Juan Juan Juan you gotta do it.
Is it just me or do the rims in SLC sound funny?
@approxinfinity said in Zigging the Zags:
What are the chances we get 30 minutes of good Elmarko today?
Our best mid range guy. 12-14 pts is reasonable.
Absolutely true. That may have been the game saver and the trey he hit in the second half was a boost at the time. He and Elmarko both have made instinctive wow plays that are indicative of a special skill that we can get used to real quick. Maybe the last game tomorrow but requires all of our strengths being on display and making some dad gum shots. Hunter, KJ and Juan seemed to really like the moment yesterday.
