- Start date
Chuma with a Michael Jordan style game winning shot, it was amazing. Harper has a great game until the final 5 minutes or so. At that point he went back to driving and getting blocked shots with no foul and missing 3’s. Up until the end he played great.
Ho Daddy was amazing.
CHUMA!!!!!

The Bad
- Our guys commit dumb fouls that change the game. A big reason we looked disengaged got 12 minute stretch in the 2nd is nobody can touch anyone. It’s stupid
- Bryce bad on the road again. We can’t win if Harper is bad but it’s also really hard to when Bryce is terrible and our ceiling isn’t high if he can’t be good.
- Malik missing a game saddens me
- our defense, maybe due to foul trouble and lack of bodies, was very much not good
The Good
- man did Chuma need one of those. Might make him realize he’s the stud pony he is.
- Harper was really good. Made shots. Made plays. 5-1 assist to TO ratio
- McCormick starts looking like a viable backup PG
- I love Horace Spencer

In fairness McCormick just needed more minutes. Hard to get in a rhythm when playing a couple minutes here and there. He is getting better. Him and Harper together is fun. Overall good game for Harper, but the last 5 mins could have been better.
Considering no Malik, no Wiley, and Bryce being ice cold, I’ll definitely take the dub. Gotta think my T Giving dinner gave them that little bit of extra luck they needed. Not gonna win any in the big dance though if Bryce shits the bed on a neutral court like he seems to love to do
YUGE shot from Chuma. Hopefully that is the shot in the arm this team needed. Loved watching the guys and Bruce after the game. Looked like they really enjoyed this one. Now, please, please, please let Malik's sexy abs heal and shrink Samir's minutes asap. Would be nice to have Austin for Bama, but I just hope he is back for the SEC tourney at 100% strength, or at least something resembling it.
Need to pick up one of Bama and MSU to lock up a tourney bid. Would love to get at least two of last three to finish 10-8 in the league and have a little confidence going into tourney mode.

Agree with all this, though yall know I'm always weary of bad Malik (not that there is really a better option with moving Chuma to the 3). We played like such trash in the 2nd half that it is silly for me to think this way, but I've already allowed the thought of winning out to slip into my head. Though honestly, losing out is just as possible.
What bothered me last night was effort and intensity. I think we looked a bit lazy and out of it early and then the fouls amplified it. In order for this team to be what it can be (and I've got serious doubts that happens now) it needs to be a live wire for 40 minutes. It needs Malik out there dunking and blocking shots and doing hopscotch after he hits 3's. It needs Bryce nailing transition 3's, Harper getting steals and attacking the rim, Horace dunking on peoples heads and absolute intense insanity. I think they have to just get unleashed and go nuts. I feel like we've been grinding out W's (6-3 in the last 9 SEC games) and that's good, but we can't do much in the tourney with that style. It's not us. It's not our peak.
IMO, we need to unleash it all and start playing faster now. Trap more, press more, push the tempo more. 2 of the 3 remaining games are at The Clam, where pushing the tempo is alway a good idea (and don't let anyone pull that Ole Miss BS on us). The other one is on the road with Avery, and his team likes to turn it over and can't resist running with us if we really push it. I think nows the time to flip the switch from "grind out W's" to full fledged Bruce Ball.
I couldn’t watch the game because I refuse to give Charter more money for more TV channels I don’t watch. How much did the zone contribute to our slow pace and disjointed play? It seemed that the zone had the desired affect, and that, coupled with the foul troubles allowing UGA to have more success in the paint and on the glass, pretty much eliminated our ability to get into transition. That forced us to run halfcourt offensive sets, which might be the single biggest weakness of this team.
IDGAF if we are "supposed to" or not, I love getting a dub over thuga in anything. Still feels good today.
You gotta go grab a fire stick bruh. Give you money the Amazon (the folks who really need it). As for the zone, it was as if we’d never seen a zone before on most possessions...
Gotta have a subscription to watch? I have a fire stick but still have DirecTV so wasn’t sure if the subscription was needed or not
I think the zone slowed us down some, but the fouls slowed us down more. Bruce kept the pace slow in the 2nd half, so we had less points off turnovers and less transition baskets. If we had lost that game then maybe I feel different, but it seems like it was the right choice to me.
Yeah as long as you have access to cable plan credentials. The only thing I pay for is Netflix and Prime
You’ll need to know someone who has a cable plan or pay the $4.99/month sub
Word. I use my parents charter password to get spectrum tv (which is basically everything) but for whatever reason it doesn’t include secn and espnu. So I have to use other methods for tjose
Just download the app and plug in their creds and you’re good to go
I have a RokuTv, but because of my charter setup, my ESPN app knows I’m not subscribed to ESPNU. If it weren’t for live sports, I’d have canceled cable a while back.
