I Like Cuonzo but the blame for this loss (GA)

I bet he'll be getting close to 30 within 2 weeks. He played 17 against Ky and had 26 tonight.

UGA wanted it more in OT. Both teams were fatigued, but UGA looked fresher to me. We seemed to lose our edge some in OT on the defensive end. We should've won that game in regulation, but boneheaded pass after boneheaded pass did us in.

Agree. In a few weeks he'll be playing a good bit of the game. He just can't physically do it right now.

Listen....ive done this for awhile. If you are going to win on the road...you have to have talent. Look at the last 20 years of ut bball. We do not have enough right now. Bruce won on the road....Jerry won on the road....what is the differnce? TALENT. BUZZ could not win cus a lack of talent with the exception of year one. We have to get better players. Cuonzo can flat out coach...yall no we need a couple more ball players. I see 4 players on the court that do not want the ball on the road. If we want to get back to big boy bball we gotta get some studs.

Who was he guarding that lit him up? When did his man get a rebound?

I recall a late rotation on the baseline on Skylar's blow by, but Hall did the same thing twice. Otherwise, let me know.

Now having laspes on D = getting lit up.


Stokes lost his guy multiple times. This either led to his guy scoring or assisting another after a rotation.

Of course, Stokes also didn't get every rebound he could have. They just weren't as late in the game, therefore memorable, as Hall's.

Late rotations are part of defense no matter who got blown by. A player must be prepared when that happens. Obviously Coach Martin's confidence in Stokes defense was affected by this. That will change as Stokes gains experience.

I could have paused the game, but our play sent me to the can in the first place. Why pause it for more punishment.

Who was he guarding? If he kept losing him, you must know who it was. Your analysis is incorrect. He made a couple of mistakes, but Hall made more and Cam was a multiple offender as far as rotating.

I'll have to take your word for it. The others weren't worth remembering, including the one that counted at the end of regulation.

That was the effect of a great call from the Georgia coach during the timeout to switch to zone from the man defense. The play called by Martin was called with the assumption that Georgia would still be in a man defense. Tip your hat to Georgia's coach. Sometimes the other team makes great decision. There's no way that Martin could have known that would happen.

He kept a time out in his pocket.

Tie game, can use that for overtime, what if Golden gets stuck on a double team, etc.

Right decision. Almost every single coach would have done the same thing.

I understand. The point is that Stokes played as good, if not better D than Hall tonight anyway. So the freshman thing doesn't matter as much because of Stokes IQ, which blows by Halls.
Honestly, I bet CM is kicking himself and got in the heat of the game and knows he should have had him in quickly, if not starting in OT.

Again, I like CM, but there is really no reason he should have confidence in Hall doing much of anything positive.

That's when you have to have a vocal pg that takes charge and knows what needs to be done.

Not in a tie game on the road. You have to play for the win. At home, take it to OT. On the road, use if you're taken off guard by zone.

And what if he switches to man? By the time the team recgonized it, there were about 10 seconds. Then, if Golden gets doubled team on a hedge and he can't get rid of the ball, you waste a possession.

Almost every coach keeps that TO.

He was on the Montenegro(in) guy for a bit. They rotated when he beat Stokes on a few plays.

He also guarded Williams and Thornton.

Yeah, and then the young team gets confused, doesn't know which D they are in, and next thing you know, it's two seconds and we jack up a 30 footer.

Heck we got a decent look at the end of regulation.

Op's point is moot because he played more than 26 seconds in OT.
Went in at about 2:59 and went out at about 1:40

And if you watch him he goes and sits next to one of the coaches that instructs him on defensive positioning or what not while he's out. Only player I've seen them do that with.

Regardless of the defense, you drive and put up a shot at rim. You either get fouled or score. Golden shooting a 15 ft one handed shot is not a decent look.

Montenegro scored on Skylar and a breakaway, as well as a couple of ft's. They didn't run the offense through him, so I don't believe he'll have assists.

Thornton didn't get a shot off on Stokes. Not sure about Williams. Stokes didn't play bad D. Not at all.
