re: 2025-26 Men’s basketball thread (defending champs baby!)

A good win but these starting guards have to break their shooting slump on 3s for us to be an elite team.

Golden has morphed the basketball team again, to fit the players. I don't agree with him on everything he does, but he has reasons that make sense when he does things. He is turning this team into a half court big 10 style team. I hate that style, but it fits the team. Without dynamic guards we have to become a team that plays dominantly in the paint and forces the game there. He is still working on our defense, but I think we will become a really good defensive team before the season is over. Defending and rebounding is going to be the style of play for these guys this season, so I am going to have to get used to it.

Georgia is #1 in the NCAA in points per game and we held them to their season low. I think if Boogie and Xavian can keep evolving into better team defenders, we may just have a chance to make some noise this season after all.
