I watched the game, but haven't really looked at stats.

PG play is still just ok to me. I wish we had 1 really good facilitator.

Pettiford was really good. Overton played poorly.

We need to get more of out the 3 spot. Dowd/Williams/Olsen...someone has to be better at scoring.

Our bigs are interesting. Freeman feels small to me, but has some skill for sure. Bukky is athletic, but feels weak. He's going to help defensively, but not sure on offense. 94...mercy. If he gets it right at the goals he's a problem...otherwise he's in trouble. I think he'll be a situational player all year. I want to see him against some good bigs before I judge too much.

Better than last year. Backup guards can play. Need a 3 to play better. Mixing and matching the 3 and 4 will take some time I'm sure.

Likely overheating.

Could be a little short on the board.

Make sure you go get all the updates from the manufacturer if you have not.
Black album because it s a great album and sounds amazing. I rarely listen to it because I played it to death in the 90's.

Kill Em All is a classic, but they weren't there yet.

Master of Puppets is their best album in my opinion.
Someone needs to make a rule that if a kid has

1. ever signed any kind of pro contract anywhere to play a sport you cannot play that sport in college...no exemptions.

2. Set an age limit. If the player turns 24 before the school year in which they intend to play they are not allowed...no exemptions.

3. You have 5 to play 5 before the age of 24.

Obviously these schools need to be saved from themselves.
Pettiford was 3-13 from the field with 4 turnovers and had 5 of his shots blocked.

If he played better that's likely a win.

Dowd not getting anything to fall isn't good either. If he scores a little also likely a win.

I got 34 to 10 UGA.
My early feelings...

We still don't have a true PG.
Last night I did not see a true 4 on the floor at any point.
Our bigs are going to defend the rim better, but likely won't score much at all...which is fine.

When everyone is healthy and playing...do we have too many bodies?

I think we're better than last year, but not sure how far we can go.

The exhibition against Alabama should be interesting.
I thought we had a chance against them at home. We kept it close. Our D wasn't good in the 2nd half, but they made some crazy shots. They were over 50% from 3. They are better than we are. I hope we can keep it competitive in Tuscaloosa.

Our guards played much better on offense, but their D in the 2nd half wasn't good at any level.

UNC/Duke....UNC had 1 foul in the whole 2nd half.

Not one team I wanted to win won yesterday...
Way too High and My Meridian are my 2 fav Muscadine Bloodline songs.
We don't have a PG on the roster. Pettiford is a tiny 2.

A true PG and a true big man have to be added for next year.
Guard play lost this one. The shooting was dreadful. We had a shot and we missed wide open shots.

Then we had a phantom foul.

Gotta beat Alabama.
Good win last night. Not a fan of the way Texas plays. They are rough and 8 is a flopping machine.

Didn't play very well in the first half, but the 2nd half was really good. Texas and Auburn are both meh 3 point shooting teams so of course both were lights out last night.

Hall and Overton were both pretty elite.

Next 4 are gonna be tough. If we can split them we're cooking. Gotta win at least 1.

@UT
Bammers at home
Vandy at home
@Arky

Things get a bit easier down the stretch.
Need this one. Won't be easy.

This would put us at 14-7 and 5-3.
Probably. I love a lof of his stuff...but I saw him live once and was bored to death.

My youngest is a Sr and it doesn't matter to me really, but I do feel sorry for some of the smaller 5A schools who will now have to play in area/regions with schools twice their size.

Huge win. Didn't watch, but it seems Hall was unstoppable for a half.

Looks like Murphy was really good.

Looks like Overton has a good all around game.

We shot our FT really well.

Defense has really improved! That's encouraging.

Need to get Texas this week. @UT gonna be tough, but they aren't great. Alabama @home is gonna be huge. Then Vandy and @Arky. Whew.
