The Section 103 Postgame Report

Hmmm, Negedu is apparently going to start playing more. Too bad Williams is the one that will be losing the minutes. We need more Tatum, less Hopson. More Negedu, less Prince/Woolridge.

Well, every take has pretty much been laid out in this thread already. One thing I was wondering if anyone else noticed was in the 2nd half when Tatum got the ball they were putting a man on him, but when JP had the ball, Bouldin backed off and dared him to shoot.

It's time to pull the plug on Chism shooting 3's. Pearl needs to tell him he gets 2 a game, so make them count.

Maze with 0 assists last night was incredible.

Backdoor cuts, ball screens, and zone defenses are kryptonite to this team. Do you think Clyde knows this for our game Tuesday? Fugly.

We don't have a leader on this team. They all want to look around and piss and moan if they don't get a call.

JP Prince could be the absolute worst excuse for a player I have ever seen. He makes me wish for the return of Lang Wiseman.

One day, this team will realize they aren't 3 point shooters and start driving to the basket, ala Memphis last year.

Chism's free throw shooting, from last year to this year, is unbelievable. You can tell that Wayne has put his work in on his FT's.

I'm sorry, but Tyler Smith hasn't blown my dress up. I know he has NO supporting cast around him, but I do not see anything that says NBA for Tyler. He needs to learn to shoot a mid-range jump shot. I do like the way he attacks the basket. God knows he's the only one on the team that does so.

I have never seen a team miss so many shots within 2' of the rim. This team needs an attitude and take the ball to the hole with authority.

Agree that JP should only dunk the ball, Negedu needs more PT, and Hopson and Tatum need to be on the floor together.

This looks like an NIT team unless there is drastic improvement.

Can someone help me complete this sentence. JP Prince is a poor man's _________.

I am totally stumped. I've been trying for about 2 minutes now and I can't think of a [player X] bad enough at basketball such that calling JP a poor man's version of [player X] truly illustrates how bad JP is.

I think there were 8 or 9 backdoor cuts for layups last night. When that did not work they were able to penetrate and dish out.

Previous games have also allowed numerous cuts to the basket. This defense is so soft and cannot understand why we are not pressing. Who or what is CBP covering up for defensively. There is several weaknesses out there on the court that are causing mismatches. Almost like CBP is trying to hide these weaknesses and not adjusting well at all.

1. If you didn't enjoy the first 40 minutes, you don't like college basketball. There won't be many games more entertaining this regular season.
2. I can't imagine being a WCC coach. Those officials were utterly wretched. Ted Valentine and Bruce Benedict need to work that league.
3. Gee, where are all the folks to tell me how wrong I've been about JP Prince? Matt Bouldin showed everyone watching tonight what JPuke is all about.
4. I hope this series continues. It is obvious they just don't like each other.
5. Can we stop with all the talk about what a huge upgrade Bobby Maze is? His play tonight indicates he's regressing as fast as Ramar did.
6. Steve Forbes is a "defensive tactician" in the same way Hugo Chavez is a "humanitarian."
7. Kudos, Wayne Chism. Bring that game every night and I'll enjoy watching you in the NBA.
8. Holding Pargo to 6 and losing indicates how bad our overall defense really is. At any given point, at least two guys are open for good shots.
9. Tyler Smith will be sorely missed. He attacks the way a player should.
10. This team had better toughen up before next Tuesday. Meeks and Patterson are salivating.

Every 1-2 punch in the SEC should be.

One of my all time favorites from my bama side of the family, the other one was always "pull the door to". To where?!!

It has to do with "to and fro." It makes sense, it just isn't a widely accepted saying outside of the South, and maybe out towards Texas.

I personally like the saying "fixin' to." It has its roots in Appalachia.

Similarly, "I’m a-fixin’ to milk the cow" has its roots in "fix" as a Gaelic synonym for "do" or "make" and "a-going" is from the phrase "ag dul."

"Fixing to" is one of the southernisms I use on occasion.

I use it quite a bit, I guess. Usually when someone asks me when I'm leaving to go somewhere. I'll just say "I'm fixin' to go here in 5 or 10 minutes."

Also, I used 'transfer truck' (18wheeler) the other day when talking to my roommate. He had no clue what I was talking about.

The reason why we don't press is the other team would score every 10 sec., instead of 25. This team can not defend as well as the last 2 teams we had.

Why, I don't know.

True.

Pressing can be done several ways. Some need aggressiveness and quickness. Some require patience and forces the other team to make a mistake. Right now, we are able to do neither.

Most of the time if you don't have the fundamentals to player half court D, you get torched in a press.

Hatvol has been saying that Bobby Maze was not going to be as good as everyone thought he was in November. It certainly looks that way now. Regardless, he is capable of playing better than he did.

He certainly needs to "put on" a lot more if he's going to bring home that championship he promised in his rap.
