    11/10 MBB vs. UNF

    Good...Hope they bring their A game. We need it to get ready for UGA. One thing is for sure, they are going to shoot a ton of threes. They shot 10 three's in the second half of the game against Charleston Southern and made 9 of them. The 3 point shot is often a great equalizer! Looking...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    Nait averaged 9.8 last year, I think that the addition of Javian should really open things up for him to score more. I could be dead wrong, but I won't be surprised to see him in the 14-15 points/game and 7-8 assist/game range. To your point, we should have one of the best backcourts in the...

    Doryan’s Impact: Over or Under 10 MPG? Place Your Bet!

    Crowd size was pathetic. Definitely < 3500 people. I'd be surprised if there was more than 1,000.

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    One observation I hadn’t fully appreciated until last night is the experience Javian McCollum brings to the team. Damon mentioned this after the game too. Sitting close, I noticed how he guided Nait and especially the younger guys—keeping them positive after mistakes and directing them where...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    Surprisingly enough, Jaeden and LT were the first two off the bench. It will be interesting to see how Damon handles Mustaf going forward. It looked like he had some nerves at first, but once he settled in, he was tough. His game is getting to the rim against smaller guards. He's like a...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    I love these early season games. When no one shows up, my kids and I move down to row 1 in our section. It feels like you’re part of the game. Tonight my son was dapping up the players when they came outta the game like he was on the end of the bench.

    Doryan’s Impact: Over or Under 10 MPG? Place Your Bet!

    Yeah, he’s going to be really good. The kid is dripping with potential IMO. I just listened to the post game presser, and I do not recall Damon heaving that much praise onto anyone, much less a freshman. Comments regarding Doryan: “You are going to see a lot of him this year.” “I really trust...

    Doryan’s Impact: Over or Under 10 MPG? Place Your Bet!

    He’s definitely a work in progress, but I liked what I saw from him. First off, he’s huge but also very fluid. His frame has plenty of room for muscle. That’s probably going to be his biggest weakness as a freshman (strength). Tonight, he played 11 mins and pulled down 7 boards. He got lost a...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    Checking in with 15 mins to go until tip! Ghost town here at McCamish, way represent GT! Not surprised though. Few thoughts: We’re much bigger, longer than last season. Ryan Mutombo and DO are huge. Duncan Powell appears super athletic Lance Terry just hit a windmill dunk!

    Looks like a swole-up, right-handed Mike Devoe!

    2024-25 non-GT games thread

    Nah.....if I am going to commit the foul, the shot isn't going up. He should have known that even if he tried to tackle him he was too small.

    11/10 MBB vs. UNF

    I realize we haven’t played a game yet, but our second opponent, North Florida, just upset South Carolina on their home court.

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    I don't think that it was / is a GT thing as much as it is parity in college basketball. You see it every year. Some big time school gets beats by a D2 squad in an exhibition or someone power conference team traves to a mid-major's homecourt and gets a surprise. Happens every year... I do...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    Initial Starters: Nait, Lance, Kowacie, Baye, DO Main Rotational Pieces: Javian, O'Brien, Powell, Mustaf Possibly cracking rotation / Sprinkle Mins: Sutton Key Players / Outlook: Baye will be our top performer, and NTG will get his points and assists, those two have to be strong all season...

    11/6 - MBB vs. West Georgia

    So many people are sleeping on Lance "Scary" Terry. Not having him last year, I think a lot of us forgot what he can bring to the table. Not to mention that he's an old dude... He'll bring a lot of experience to the younger guys. I'm big fan of Lance. Hope he goes out with a bang!

    That does make me feel old... Didn't even know Stephon had a son. Think that Starbury makes the return trip to McCamish when Cal comes in Feb?

    Doryan’s Impact: Over or Under 10 MPG? Place Your Bet!

    It seems pretty clear that we are loaded with talented guard options, and that the front court is where our question marks are at. One player in particular, Doryan Onwuchekwa, is very interesting. With a little more than a week until tip-off, let's have some fun. I'm curious who is with me...

    Hate to say it, but they're going to make those of us that absolutely hate Duke exceptionally nauseous this year! :depressed::depressed::depressed::depressed::vomit::vomit: We know how good Flagg is going to be, but this Kon Knueppel sounds he could be a real nemesis.
