Title: We have a good basketball team Post by: Volznut on November 23, 2011, 04:22:08 EST It would not surprise me to see this team in the big dance this year. From what I have seen, they play hard, are well coached and they don't quit - oh, and there's some talent on the team as well. I had low expectations, but this team will be much much better than what I expected. I know they are 2-2, but they just balled out with #6 and #8 and gave them all they wanted.

The one thing we are missing is the guy who can create his own shot consistently every time he touches the ball, but we've missed that ever since Lofton. I like the way Martin is building things so far.

I think this team will win 17-18 and probably go to the NIT Title: Re: We have a good basketball team Post by: Volznut on November 23, 2011, 04:28:22 EST I think this team will win 17-18 and probably go to the NIT Depends who we beat. We have a chance to beat some good teams, we play them.

Yeah, I am hoping that eventually McRae can be that guy, right now he seems to be playing like JP Prince early in his career - great athletic ability, but doesn't always make great decisions in game. I do think guys have really improved under CCM, and I like the freshmen.

I do think guys have really improved under CCM, and I like the freshmen. I think McRae is that guy in the future... he's only a soph after all. I'm really encouraged by the play of our post guys. Maymon looks like a completely different player. Just like football basketball is won with defense and controlling possession (rebounding and turnovers). I'm impressed by those two aspects from what I've seen. Our guys still have a little bit of the old "dumb shot" habit which was the only thing that really drove me crazy about Pearl teams... hopefully that will be weeded out.

That'd be a good win I think we can manage a few SEC east wins. NIT is likely but maybe we can sneak in.
GO VOLS! :powert: |
