Layups?!*#%^@!

[Boca Vol]

I've never seen a team miss so many shots under the goal . It seems physically impossible when you're 6'8" or taller.

So, now that that's out of the way, what is the point of this thread?

I think he's talkin about shootin percentage. Cant make layups and for sure any 3's. They keep shavin it closer than a South Alabama midwife.

 

[Stoked]

This team will struggle with any team that has someone 6'11+. They just couldn't hit from 3 and they had way too many blocked shots down low.

This GIF has nothing to do with this thread but it is more entertaining than the game I witnessed last night.

 

[sanglemangle]

Hard to hit one when they jump 2 inches then act like a big wussy and fall down!

Go back and look at the losses and count the number of missed shots under the goal.

If you really think about it Pearl teams had the same problem.

Yeah, well at least they missed their shots on the way to and in the NCAA tournament.....EVERY YEAR!

Ive never witnessed such a non dunking team in my life. Lazy big men who refuse to stuff it.

and prevented them from advancing even further but that wasn't actually the point. They missed just as many but it sticks out more when you are losing.

As much as I like maymon, he is a shell of his former self before his knee injury, no life whatsoever, him and stokes both should be destroying the rim when they are right under the freaking basket, unfortunately if they get fouled they might go 1-2 at best at the line.

Sweet 16 and Final 8 weren't far enough for you? I guess you complained about Fulmer going to the SECCG every 3 years too?

How you read that into my post is beyond me. I thought we were talking about missed layups. But hey go start another redundant Pearl thread. Its not like we don't have enough of those.

You have to get with the new terminology..."under the goal" is what my dad used to say...it is now "opportunities at the rim"...

YOU are the one who brought Pearl's name into the missed "bunnies" thread and then complained about how the team didn't advance far enough to suit you.

Don't bring something up if you can't defend it.

Stokes will have 3 players on him and still try to shoot. Two quick passes and someone is wide open. Never fails.

Did you see Stokes jam on ol buddy's face last night? Evey time they dunk it they either get a charge or tech

You need to ask Hugh.

Defend what? Bringing up that it was also a problem under Pearl and that had his teams not experienced the same problems they could have accomplished even more sucess? The OP stated he had never seen this many missed shots. I was only stating we have but it isn't an issue unless you are losing. And just because someone points out a shortcoming of a St Bruce coached team. It isn't indicative of complaining.

Over the past several years, this has also been a problem for the Lady Vols. Must be something in the drinking water at UT.

Or big men that stand flat footed while a bigger guy shoots over them from three feet. They play beside or behind their man, let him back them down until in position to shoot, and stand flat footed without contesting the shot.

They can't hit half their free throws!! OK, miss one layup!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, but miss every freakin' one of them. It is very difficult for me to watch this team. :banghead2:

Sorry! I'm white and not up with today's basketball lingo.
