But, once again, we are on a huge run and have come back to take the lead. Our response, put McBee and Pearl into the game. The result: we immediately lose momentum and never really got it back the rest of the game. Why we don't keep the same lineup in the middle of the run is simply mind-boggling.

Gotta give them a breather. I think they were maybe in for less than a minute. I remember thinking the same thing, but then Bruce sent in Tobias and Scotty immediately.

It was out of a timeout, tvols. They got their breather then. You keep them in while you have all the momentum instead of putting the walk-on crew in.

Too bad the damage has been done.

If you need a breather and can't play through a run then maybe you need to transfer to a NAIA school.

The sub that really killed us was I think around the four-minute mark. Pearl came in for Tobias, turned the ball over on offense, then gave up an easy layup on the other end. Pearl was out immediately after that, but the damage was already done. Why Kenny Hall did not get more minutes in the second half after playing pretty well in the first is beyond me. Sure, Steven is good defensively, but I'd still rather have Kenny out there taking his minutes.

I thought the offense looked good today outside of the piss poor first 12 minutes. The team finally started to make crisp cuts, and set good screens. I can go on and on about the pathetic players such as Tatum and Goins who have no excuse for being as bad as they are, but that is a given. The only problem I had with Pearl today was that he had to put in Kenny Hall more to take away their inside game. Kenny looked very good when he was in there in the first half, and he is very active, and a good passer.

With Tatum playing like crap. We have got to use PG- Goins SG- Hopson SF- Harris PF-Hall C- Williams.

I remember the sequence that is being discussed. However, if I remember correctly wasn't it like a 1 pt. game when they came back? Far from damage being done.

The damage was done. Georgia had gathered themselves and regrouped. We had them completely on their heels, and they were collapsing. Putting McBee and Pearl in ended that immediately.

I can see McBee being put in because he actually played pretty good on the ball defense. But IMO, Hall has to be put in.

Do you agree that with the crap we are seeing from Tatum, we have to go to a PG- Goins SG- Hopson SF- Harris PF-Hall C- Williams set?

Then have Tatum and Bone coming off the bench to give breathers to Hopson and Harris. And Fields to give the posts a breather. That gives you an 8 man rotation, and it would put your best players on the floor IMO. Also, it allows us to create size mismatches and would allow us to just dominate the boards with 4 of the 5 guys on the floor at least 6'6.

I think Tatum needs to be on the bench, but I'd be much more in favor of putting Bone in his place. Despite Harris' poor post defense, I think he'd be even worse guarding wings. Imagine him guarding Jenkins or the other athletic wing (his name escapes me) for Vanderbilt. It would be ugly.

Pearl has been getting abused on the court since day 1.

LawVol13 - bullseye! Been saying it all year and Bruce/Tony keep doing it all year. Why be comfortable with a unit that plays well? Let's tear it down and see if we can build it back with different players. Whoops - forgot we were supposed to win the game! Oh well, we got to tinker with some more stupid combinations on our way to losing 11 times with more to come. While at it call in the medical staff because Goins needs his head examined to see if there is any gray matter in there. Golden was never the problem and McBee was never the answer.

What broke the momentum was the technical on Goins for hanging on the rim. Not the substitutions.

I agree. Fox was trying to call timeout and UGA was facing their first deficit of the game. Instead, Tony Greene Ts up Goins and Fox saved the timeout because it was under 8 minutes. Thompkins then hit the free throws after the media timeout and the crowd was back to dead silence.

McBee and Pearl did not do nearly the damage Goins did. Stole a pass and went for big layup to put us up by two, but could not control his need to show his butt by getting a technical to negate the two with foul shots by Ga., then fouled a three point shooter who hit 2 of 3, and then missed two layups, all in the last 5 minutes.

We are really a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. They can play great or they can play like idiots, but there is never any advance notice as to which they will be.

That did hurt, but it was the right call. No one was around him and he hung on the rim for a good second after he dunked it. I love the dunk as much as anyone, but you just can't do something that stupid after you've just captured all the momentum. Very stupid decision on Goins's part.

A breather? Please. These guys are 20 and in shape. The re-entry only happened after Pearl ruined two plays.

How many games have we seen that Mcmiss and Pearl come into the game with a 6 -10 point lead and the in 2 or 3 minutes tn find themselves either tied or behind ?These pathetic lineups that BP puts on the floor is what blows my mind.Mcmiss or Pearl jr has no business being on the floor.I know, Pearl hustle but if thats the only thing he offers then he really offers nothing.

I agree for the most part. Next year Pearl, Goins, and BW will graduate. Just my opinion, but I think when our more talented, more athletic younger players are forced to start playing those minutes, we will become a more athletic and better team. We are suffering through our first real growing pains under Pearl this year, and we should give him some slack given where he has taken this program and what they have gone through this year. Remember our Scout team is almost all 4 star players.
