Foul Em Out

[WiseOlVol]

Except for Kentucky, I haven't seen an SEC team that can shut down Maymon and Stokes without picking up a lot of fouls.

UT could play .750 ball the rest of the way if they can keep the opponents' 1st-team Bigs on the bench.

this would require the ball going inside ALOT and for whatever reason it doesnt. i like your idea though.

About UK...they only way I see them losing is if a team is red hot from threes and Davis picks up 2 fouls quickly. However, the defense is incredible. I dont care about the refs...a logical person knows Davis is one heck of a defender along with the whole team.

As for UT, i dont know. They have pretty good offense w/ stokes,maymon...however, someone needs to step up and play consistent along those two. Yemi looks alright and Hall needs some work. Defense is bad. McBee cant guard anyone. Stokes needs to work on a bit of defense. Overall, i see UT finishing decent with 1 win in the SECT. I also see them doing well in NIT. But only if someone steps up and leads this team other than Stokes.

So what you're saying is offense is our strong suit? I would have to disagree there. I agree with most of what you say though.

Defensively UT is getting better with Stokes/Maymon. If players like McBee could step up and get better defense, UT as a whole would benefit because they could stay on the floor.

Check the numbers out defense is tops in most categories in sec in sec play, we're right by you guys in most. Our offense is atrocious, that's why we win games 65-58, good d bad offense.

Im not a stat guy

Most of my posts are from opinion. To be honest, defensively you have great ones and terrible ones. Offensively would benefit from people like Golden/McBee defensively improving.

True. With what we have our chances of winning are by playing d though not scoring 80.

It doesn't go inside because no one respects our guard play.
When it goes inside we get the instant double team and passing out of it results in more TOs than points.
A little more ball movement and reversal would help.

Very true. Knocking down the open shots off kick outs would help too.

We had a couple of really good plays yesterday where the ball movement was good and crisp. Resulted in big men scoring.
Don't know why we don't do it more.
Watch Kansas some time. they've got it down to an art.
They'll reverse 3 or 4 times before they hit usually a wide open big man.

Isn't that a recipe for winning for just about everybody?

No. It's most effective when the off has space eaters. The d is always in contact.

Maymon is a beast. Does anyone know the info on him considering football.

First off we need some guard who will get the ball to them and not start shooting 3s to start the game. I think that's why Mcbee started against Georgia.
