Yup, he feels badder than he should ,but he;s gotta realize that he ain't talented enough to be the superstar, his leadership might get him to a star level but that includes getting teammates like Devo and Moore and Banks to take the scoring lead. he's a pass first guy who can contribute at all levels but future leadership from him is what we need.....

CJP's hat hanger was never having lost 3 three games in a row. Held good through first season... Not so much last year nor this year.

On a tangentially related note: Anyone go to the game yesterday? Didn't they make a big deal out of the "winter white" unis heading into the game? I saw them distributing T-shirts for season ticket holders and they were...gold. C'mon man, get it together GT marketing. If you're gonna have a "Winter White" unis game, you can at least keep the theme the same with the swag you're giving out. Keep it all the same...

They've been giving those shirts away all year. Those are the shirts that came with season tickets, similar to what was given football season ticket holders.
I believe they did a promotion yesterday as well where they gave white t-shirts to the first 1,000 guests at the game.

I’ve posted this before, but I’ve seen other schools running the same offense, and seen the same lack of movement out of top 25 teams running it.
If standing in a spot and passing the ball around isn’t a characteristic of this offense, then it’s a common coincidence for the teams running it. I’d say our players are coached to play this way.
I don’t find it appealing to watch, and it doesn’t look effective for us.
(If this baits someone into explaining how this is supposed to be different and dynamic, then I’m happy. Just haven’t found the team running this offense that makes it look interesting. Just the ones who have a good shooting percentage)

I couldn't agree more. I love the young men who come to GT to play basketball.
I am MOST disappointed in their coaches who have them playing this offensive style of basketball (double entendre on purpose).
Naturally our front office ****ed this up too. The season ticket shirts are ****ing massive. I got an XS and it fits like a poncho on me.

I got 4 giant XS size season ticket shirts and was pissed about it also. I've also caught 2 shirts thrown out during the game by the cheerleaders... same problem... massive sizing. I wouldn't put this on our front office though, other than signing Adidas. Nike shirts would have fit just fine

Sorry to say, I recorded this game because it was on out here at 10 AM, after seeing the score I didn't have the desire to watch ...
Somebody closer to the bball program please explain the drastic spikes in team performance ... I had hope after the Arkansas game ???

As bad as UGa is...I think everyone here is over-rating Arkansas......

So if Pastner is not the recruiter that we thought he was and according to some posts I've seen about being out-coached, not an X's and O's guy ...

We rely very heavily on 5 underclassmen and even our upperclassmen are transfers in only their first or second year here. This leads to being very inconsistent both during games and from game to game
Sounds like from a recruit standpoint, the game was well-attended ....

Who'll chime in with the obligatory, "Bwah, I guess they see where they could play right away, blah, bluh, bleh."
Me? I hope a couple of 'em sat together and decided to go the James-Wade-Bosh route. That way, coach doesn't matter.

Finally over my frustration enough to post now.
But I don't even know what to say...except there is more than one problem with this team. It would be one thing if you could just say, "Oh, its clearly bad coaching," or "Oh, we just need a quality big man," or even "Oh, its obvious the talent isn't there." But is not just one thing. At times, it is effort. At times, it is poor shooting. At times, they have looked tired. At times, the coaching makes me scratch my head. All I know is that we should be a much better basketball team, and we just aren't right now. If we can get somebody hot from outside the arc, and if we can get some easy buckets underneath, then maybe we can start playing with confidence and we will look better. Right now, we are a pretty good defensive team, and that's about the only positive I can come up with.
The season is far from over and I will continue to watch and cheer, but...they aren't making it any easier! Come on, Jackets. Get it together!

Does it matter? Is UGA to be considered drastically better? I’d say slightly worse. 5 points. That’s what GT scored in the first 8 minutes.
Where is all the three point shooting?
Where is the up tempo?
Where is the hard cutting?
Where is the high post distribution?
Pastner is living up to his rep.
Who is the next coach we hire who is coaching at a school begging to rid themselves of him? 2 in a row...
