Our defense was not that great at least not for a Frank Martin team.
What are you talking about?
UNA shot 24.6% from the field
Yes UNA is awful but that’s exactly what we should have done, made them take crappy shots
The offense looked bad and Lawson took 4 shots
Id like to see Hannibal play more, maybe even start down the line, he looked much better defensively and he’s a far better athlete than Bolden
The lead would have been much larger if we just hit our free throws
And on their side they shot 23/33 from the line
I also think we are better with a smaller lineup, Minaya had 11 rebounds and had the best game last night. Could have used him last year

Coliseum needs to be torn down. It is such a waste of valuable space.
Is the SPTE school still there?
What is it even used as?
The arena looked pitiful last night, can’t really blame them, we aren’t a basketball school, it just happens, but maybe a smaller arena would be better
That said can’t really hate on the CLA either, it was brought in for things other than gamecocks basketball

I'm talking about the total team effort on defense something Frank even was disappointed about. Our best on ball defensive play was a true freshman, Hannibal, not good for guys that have been here a couple of years. You act like we shut this team down but you do realize it was just a 4 point game until our run in the 2nd half. We beat a bad team no need to print tshirts.

Why is that not good?
He’s clearly one of the most athletic players on the team

No I didn’t, but we did hold them to 24% from field.

Because we got out rebounded in the first half , didn’t hit a single 3 in the first half and only 2 in total, shot horrible from the line and didn’t look good offensively at all.

I wasn’t printing any T shirts
I clearly said this will be most likely the worst team we play all year
Has only been a D1 program for 2 years

Franks style is defense. He teaches team defense ( same as offensive plays being called its the same with defense) so your mire experinced players should have a better defensive presence not a TF. Cousinard is supposedly our best defensive player but not so much last night.
I didn't say that you are saying we shut them down henceforth the word " acted".
Being out rebounded is not good for our bigs. Like I said this team needs 12-16 points and 16 rebounds for this team to acheive its potential.
It was a good start unlike last year.
You know damn well if you could make a good profit those tshirtd would be made.

Eh I disagree
Especially in this day of college sports
Guys are just getting more talented
As we saw from last year our best player was a true freshman
Frank maybe is getting more talent because he didn’t get much of it his first couple years aside from Dozier and Thornwell

So does the flurry of activity here with the FB thread being DOA mean everyone's moved on for the season(s)?

Sorry but you obviously dont understand scheme coaching. A guy that has been in your system for multiple years should be way ahead of a TF . It's still a positive we are having this discussion.

I understand scheme coaching but I also understand talent and athletic ability
Hannibal is a better on the ball defender.
You don’t learn that, you have that already coming into the program
It doesn’t matter that he’s a Freshman he just looked better
It’s happening more and more in both football and basketball
The difference between the good ones and bad ones is if they hit the freshman wall due to the long season
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

You're missing my point. Frank has stated that Cousinard was the best on ball defender on the team so a TF doing better doesn't bode well for the more experienced guys.

Why not?
One it shows we are bringing in freshman that can compete ASAP like literally every other big program
And it gives the experienced guys some fire that a young kid is coming in and is better
Being a freshman shouldn’t matter
I’d rather have talented underclassmen/freshman than seasoned vets with no talent and just “experience”
Posted on 11/7/19 at 12:34 pm to I Bleed Garnet
What???
Obviously Frank has seen ALL his players and stated yesterday that Cousinard was the best on ball defender on the team not Hannibal. So it isn't good for Cousinard, a more experienced player.
One more time Frank has seen both and stated that Cousinard was the better defender yet he didn't play like it Which doesn't bode well for the more experienced player COUSINARD.

So this was just a one game thing then?
And is Couisnard really the more experienced one?
This was his first game as well.
I’m just getting a vibe from you that you have this weird Freshman taboo
That they shouldn’t be good
Understandable

Has absolutely nothing to do with freshman. Freshman have succeeded in basket ball for decades. Cousinard has been in the system longer. Again Frank, the coach, said Cousinard was the best on ball defender on the team not Hannibal.
I expect us to beat Wyoming this weekend.

Yes so maybe it was just a first game thing
Even though he’s been in the system
This was his first actual game

We have a better, deeper team than last year and leave ROOSTER alone.

No debating that
And some talented newcomers to add to the group
Cousinard, Hannibal, McCreary (really needs to work on his FTs), and Moss
