Ndongo has saved (defended) several would be baskets this season with athletic blocks at the rim as a help defender, and he did it again at least twice yesterday. The ones that I can recall have all occurred at hugely critical times in games to basically keep our chances alive. When he makes...

Yeah, I was surprised, as I was watching on TV, to see that it was being played in Atlanta. Nevertheless, despite our perception of poor marketing, the game appeared to be pretty well attended. Certainly WAY better attendance than our matchup against Penn State in the hallowed Madison Square...

What in the world has happened to Kelly’s 3 point shot? Hope he gets it back.

Shouldn’t have even been close, but I’ll take it. This team needs to be tougher minded at times, but they toughed it out in overtime, which was encouraging. Way to go Jackets!

The math in our case, even accounting for variability, does not favor 3 point shooting. All the more reason to take opportunities around the basket when they present themselves.

Agree that our guys were probably riding high and were maybe unfocused, but u(sic)ga looked pretty crappy and did nothing to actually win that game. It should have been a comfortable win for GT based on talent. But, you’ve gotta play the games… Side note, I also think the road atmosphere could...

Sounds like the inmates are running the asylum at Louisville.

No, actually, 29% from 3 is the same as 43.5% from 2, so 44% from 2 would beat 29% from 3.

This is definitely modern basketball strategy, but I’m with alagold on this one. It seems misguided when taken to the extreme. Watching guys give up shots from the low post area gets tiring, especially for a team that only shoots 29% from 3. 44% from 2 would beat 29% from 3, and 44% should be...

Cool. Thanks for the heads up slugboy. Wish I could go to the live show, but my son has practice tonight at 6pm, so I’ll be listening on the radio.

Hey folks, in the past I have been able to trade in tickets to a game that I could not attend in exchange for an equal number of additional tickets to another game in the future. Is this option no longer available to season tix holders? The only options that seem to be available through my...

Meh, he’s a good shooter, but he’s nothing special. He’s no great loss. Good riddance. We can and should get much better talent. He also didn’t win that game for the mutts last night. GT would have lost that game whether blue Cain played or not.

Some good points, except uga was not exactly shooting out of their minds. They finished around 40/30 percent on FG/3P. Pretty pedestrian. I think they started the game 1-9 from 3P. The game was there for the taking. The dwags certainly didn’t do anything to win, GT played to loose. Hopefully...

Kudos to you for going to the game. You probably had a better look at things than I did on tv.

I hope so. I’ll keep watching and cheering. I’m gonna try to flush this one from the memory bank.

Really? Everything else looked good? I saw a lot of bad body language and sloppy play amongst other nonsense.

I’m just saying other than pure shooters, which I would love to have but we don’t have any of them either, we need athletes. The same guys that jump out of the gym and play above the rim can usually elevate to get off clean jump shots instead of getting blocked, etc.

I’d rather have both.

Yeah, that free throw percentage is inexplicably bad. On George and Ndongo, they didn’t have great games, but they are competitors and they were probably pressing and trying to do too much because the upperclassmen couldn’t get anything going and the team needed some competitive fire.
