Game Thread:Volunteers vs. Marquette

[dickens821]

I don't agree with transition three's either unless you have a Lofton on your team that makes an uncontested 3 95% of the time.... but that is part of the way we play. It's painful sometimes, but it's the way it is.

 

[MphsBlues]

We also don't attempt 4 oops in the first half, including one to our backup center.

One was to Maze

 

[JAllen18]

Don't kid your self. The game is very different from highschool to college. The rules may be the same (although they aren't), but things are different.

and the situations that they had in high school are totally different compared to college.

these alltell commercials make me wanna jump off a cliff

I do think we showed some progression on defense over the back stanza of the half. I'll take improvement on defense right now as opposed to offense at this current time.

 

[dickens821]

I suspect I'm more aware than you are. Baskeball fundamentals are the same. Excuses for being lost are simply excuses.

I suspect you aren't.

 

[volsfan0156]

Anyone remember the last time they converted an alley oop?

i think it was to j.p. prince in the memphis game last year

How is this little team out rebounding us?

Bad three's with long rebounds.

In high school, he didn't have to focus on that part of the game much, as sheer athleticism is what made him good in high school. It's the same as high school football and every other sport. The nuances of the game don't matter much until the higher levels, while athleticism matters more at the high school level.

The differences are about atrengh and maturity, not concentration and understanding. BeSley, Rose, Mayo etc etc seemed to transition just fine.

Penn State will offer contact extensions to Jo Pa in his grave.

They were also about 20x better than Hopson coming into their Freshman year of college.

hustle?

I assure you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

goddddd how many more years does this guy have?

Hopson is not Mayo or Beasely, but they did have a transition to college the first few games.

 

[dickens821]

I assure you, I do. I assure you that just because you use declarative sentences you are not always correct.

What does that have to do with excuses about looking lost? Basketball is not rocket science.

 

[Goliver24]

Not that good of a first half for us, but to be tied at halftime i suppose is ok.

it's like "Weekend at Bernie's"

you'd look more lost out there than Hopson.

 

[VOLS85]

you dont have to be 18 to get tats, if youre under 18 you can get them with parents permission, hes probably been getting them since he was 14 or 15

Either way, nice allocation of funds...I'm pretty sure at 14 or 15 I didn't have any money to be spending on anything, let alone tattoos that can cost hundreds of dollars apiece.

 

[TIGER DEN]

Basketball is basketball. The rules don't change because the players are better.

Smart players seem to get the sets quicker , hopsons probably smart enough to pick it up soon . It's still early in the season

 

[BigPapaVol]

I assure you, I do. I assure you that just because you use declarative sentences you are not always correct.

So you've done it, coached it and recruited for your alma mater?
