Title: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 22, 2019, 09:39:59 EDT ...and the rest of the team doesn't phone it in like they did last Sunday, look out. :thumbup: :powert:
Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 09:48:39 EDT They still make too many mistakes. They have a hard time coming out and playing their A game. They let these lesser teams hang around to long. Plus they get lazy on defense. They should still pull away in the second half. I shouldn't complain so much. Virginia is having a struggle with Gardner Webb.

Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: Coupe De VOL on March 22, 2019, 10:15:52 EDT Colgate is currently 8-14 on threes - ridiculous fizzle! another prayer long range 3. WTF is going on Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on March 22, 2019, 10:19:00 EDT They shoot the 3 very well. Tennessee knew that going in - not really a surprise - and almost everyone we play seems to have season high 3-pt shooting games against us. Gotta keep defending and get by this game.

Gotta keep defending and get by this game. 60%??? from beyond? We are gaurding them fairly well and most are from way off the line. This is fizzleing BS Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 10:29:09 EDT Why don't we attack inside? Use our size a little. Especially when they are man to man.

This is fizzleing BS Everyone seems to go off from 3 on us. Granted, their pace right now is scorching but personally I'm not completely surprised. Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 10:38:55 EDT We are too inconsistent in all phases of the game.
Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 10:44:57 EDT Makes me glad we didn't draw Wofford first.
Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 10:57:29 EDT Man that kid is hitting the 3's. We were all over him on many of them.
Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 10:59:00 EDT I don't think Iowa will be any harder than these guys were. Welp it's a win. Next!
Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: BanditVol on March 22, 2019, 11:18:54 EDT when Lamonte started guarding Burns, his 3-point percentage went down. Prior to the switch, he was 6/7, which is unreal. Lamonte is our best defender, maybe Barnes should have made the switch earlier but better late than never.
Colgate started setting picks on Lamonte and that isolated Burns on Alexander a couple of times and he scored inside both times. He's a very good player, could probably start at most schools in the country. Colgate packed the inside and dared us to shoot threes, and for a long stretch of the game we didn't have an answer. At one point our FG % was 27% :crazy:. But our veteran player Schofield came through when it counted, We survived, bring on Iowa.... :powert: Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: Tnphil on March 22, 2019, 11:20:27 EDT Just unreal the teams we play hits 3's from the parking lot. Even teams that don't shoot 3's makes them against us. That Burns kid today was 8-13 from the 3 with 32 points.

That defense reminded me of how Virginia plays their D but with much better athletes. Title: Re: If the Lamonte of old is truly back... Post by: volsboy on March 22, 2019, 11:56:58 EDT It just seems they struggle no matter who they play. Unless its KY, they don't come out with the same intensity night in night out.
