Why did UGA sweep us?

[VFL1800FPD]

Just wondering. On paper we are better than them. Was it effort, matchup problems, gameplan problems, etc...? If anyone could enlighten me that'd be great. I hate UGA, I need to rationalize those losses somehow.

I think we were riding too high on emotions from the winning streak we were on, and it was just a trap game. UGA knew they could beat us, and they just played tougher than we did, faster pace, and played smarter. We looked sluggish and flat-footed that whole game, and just fell in the trap because of it. But, I do think it was more mental than anything else.

Anybody else hear caliparis comment regarding their loss to GA? "Everyone is losing on the road. They just beat Tennessee in that building."

Sounds like a compliment to us the way he said it.

Golden missed both games.

He's been spitting R-E-S-P-E-C-T our way since last season. It may or may not carry any merit, but I enjoy it.

Because UGA paid us?

They are a matchup nightmare for starters. Another reason is McBee was guarding KCP 80% of his minutes and he had 2 big games against us.

They arent a bad match up for anyone hahaha. They suck

Matchups. Basketball is all about matchups (and opportunity). Same reason we've been successful against FL this season and last. They matched up well against us and ran a hell of a 2-3 zone (which we struggle against).

Golden missed both games.

He played in the 2nd game

 

[SGMVols]

He played in the 2nd game

He missed the first game physically. He missed the second game mentally.

As good as McRae and Stokes are, this team generally goes as Golden goes.

It looked like he never got off the bus for that one

Basketball isn't all about matchups bro, people can have bad games. We played like crap, we lost. NBA players have bad games and when they do, they lose.

You know people can throw things out without really do any research. I am not trying to say that UGA is a good team, but they have been close in so many games this year. Except for the Florida and Mizzou loses, they were in all of their SEC games. They lost to Indiana by 13, UCLA by 4, and Southern Miss (top 50) by 2. They have good guard play but are weak inside. KCP is a star. I didn't see their first game against us but I believe they shot out of their mind from 3, and we struggled offensively.

If you don't think basketball is partly about matchup, then you haven't been watching long. Sorry just not true.

 

[YankeeVol]

S*** happens

 

[VolGee4]

He missed them both.

He played in 2nd because he went 0-9 to start the game.

Gotcha. Sorry, sarcasm is tough through a computer sometimes.

Did you fail reading comp.? I said, and I quote, "basketball isn't all about matchups". I never said matchups aren't a concern in basketball. Man, I feel like a bunch of posters on here are not of the highest intelligence.
