Only saw last half of second half but wasn't too impressed by Maymon. Pretty quiet: Stokes was doing nearly all of the work in the paint on both ends. Had a couple of offensive rebounds but couldn't stick them in the basket.

each team on the bubble has a couple of good resume wins. but they also have losses to the likes of UGA. Martin hasnt shown he can win when it counts.

The failures of both seasons can be directly tied to losing to teams very similar to upstate in talent.

We have had plenty of resume wins to make the tourney the past 2 Years. It's just been the bad losses

Got to admit. It is starting to have a Buzz Peterson like feel to it. Hopefully, we figure some things out in the next few weeks.

GAVol is one of the most level-headed posters on this board. This post proves it. This is the middle right here.


Zophiles, you can fight for him all you want, but you have to admit that the early performances this year, along with the first two years are troubling.

NegaZos, you have a right to question Zo's ability to coach, but you really should give him a chance to get all these players playing together. Barton is new to this team, Hubbs is new, Thompson is new and Maymon hasn't played for a year.


I'm closer to the NegaZos at this point. I think he's had ample opportunity to fix little things. He could still get it done, especially with the caliber of players he has this year, but we can't afford another slow start this year. I'm behind Zo, and I hope he gets it done, but I am having my doubts.

I agree that he laid an egg in the sec tourney. And that's ultimately what caused us not to make it. But a win over top 10 UF a couple weeks before didn't matter? or a top 15 Kentucky a few before that? I guess those aren't good resume wins.

Kentucky wasn't top 15

Basketball, especially in Nov, is a crapshoot. UT struggles agains USC Upstate (Spartanburg as I know them) and they may beat Kansas next week.

It isn't like football. Just get your feet under you and win some games.

Anyone remember when the Lady Vols who made the Elite 8 last year lost to UTC in early november last year?

I looked it up earlier. They lost to St. Louis in their opener.

Not a bad loss.

It will be interesting to see what they look like come march. They impressed me but even with FGCU last and Belmont before the ASUN has been a very poor Rpi league

We outplayed them the entire second half it was clear, and we played ok the first half, defense killed us the first half.

Yes they hit some shots, but slit if the shots were open blown assignments by our defense, didn't have those the seconds half.

It was actually just a short brain fart by Martin.
Had 3 freshmen on the floor at the same time , none playing defense, and before his brain refarted he was down 10.
Other than that, the game was what it should have been.
And Barton's going to be a clutch player.
