Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Kentucky beat Duke. So did Clemson. Cinderella’s make the sweet 16 with chaos ball but they rarely go beyond that. BAMA did play how they’ve played all year minus any semblance of a defense (they at least attempted a defense most conference games).

And fwiw, you can play high tension 3 pointer ball WITHOUT playing unorganized chaos ball. BAMA played talented shooters without an actual game plan. I think their performance in the prior game made them think they didn’t need one.
Duke lost to Kentucky on November 12, 2024, in their 3rd game of the season. They also lost to then #1 Kansas on November 26. Their only loss since November 26, 2024 was that one game at Clemson on Feb 8, which they lost by 6. That was their largest loss of the season.

Beat Houston then we can worry about the rest.

They weren’t beat by throwing pickup ball at them. No doubt they’re a great team that has improved over the season and the favorites to win it all. My contention is more that you’re not going to beat them with what BAMA tried last night.
 
We sometimes struggle against lower level pitchers. My theory is we don't hit bad pitchers well because ours are all so high level and consistent. Probably dead wrong.
It sure is convenient when SC’s pitcher with a 6.50 ERA decides that he wants to deal today.

Edit: Now, he's beginning to show his subpar ERA.

We definitely do struggle more against off speed pitchers. Our bats thrive against high speed pitchers.

Speaking of refs. . . who is officiating the game today? Doug Shows, Pat Adams, & Angel Garcia Hernandez?

*I've actually loosened up on Pat Adams. I still don't like seeing him for our home games but he's ok on the road. Don Dailey and Joe Lindsey have passed Adams on my "hate of ref" scale.
