Think Source God Jon Rothstein said something like that south alabama is the only team to return five players that averaged double digit ppg last season. Well, they will still most likely be close to double digit underdogs at home to the HYGs on Tuesday

Boogs waxed that ass by 43 at the clam last season. Probably won't be that dramatic in this one as Bruce and the boys won't want to embarrass and humiliate these guys in front of their family and friends in their home arena. But make no doubt, the hygs will remind them who's boss with a convincing dub.

As we transition through this growing period, defense is the key.
 
Took a peak at their roster/ stats. Looks like their best player is their ‘center’. He’s 6’6 230. Would love to see Isaac check him into oblivion but suspect Ant/ Austin will have to. He’s easily their biggest player in the rotation so extremely undersized.

They don’t appear to shoot it that great either. Guess we could struggle a bit in the same way we did against Ga So but this is a total mismatch in the boogs favor.

I want some of these teams to give us more Georgia So looks. Pressing, trapping, overplaying everything. We need the practice. Basically we need opponents trying to play defense against us like we typically have tried to play defense. Our guards need to get accustomed to it because we looked shaky and we had been depending on one man press break SBJ for multiple seasons to crush any press/trap.

I'm not concerned about how much we win by at this point other than I hope we get good leads that allow us to play Turbo/Stretch/Flanagan more.
 
ALERT. Gang I spent the last 3 mins trying to find out how to watch this game and finally saw its on ESPN+. Think you need a subscription. Maybe there’s a trial but $5/ mo I’ll obviously be signing up if necessary.

This will be roughly my 3rd time to sign up for ESPN+. Last year I first signed up so that I could watch Boog BBall replays.
 
Looking forward to this one

Another masterful scheduling job by BRUCE. This will count as a road game but Mobile BOOG nation will likely pack that arena out

Guess I'll have to have a month or two of this service. Wouldn't surprise me if a few more Boog out of conference games will be on this too

Pump the brakes boss, grab Disney+ bundle tomorrow. It will include ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+ for $12.99/mo. You'll end up getting it anyway with the rest of the free world. Yore welcome.
 
They are horrible from 3, but decent from 2. Awful on the glass as you would expect with their C being 6'6. If we guard like we have and rebound like we should we should smoke them.

Also, Wiley has a 43.2% defensive rebound rate. The Jags won't get many second looks.

Sounds like boogs win by 28 to me.
 
Could prob hold them to 30 points in a zone but I suspect Bruce will want us to lock them up in man. Can already tell a lot of teams aren’t able to make shots out to the new 3 pt line and this is certainly one of those teams. Of course I expect us to starting making them with more regularity very soon. At least 35%.

Just got the Boogs at -7.5. What am i missing here?

I don't really get it either. Yes they return a bunch of dudes who scored double figures in the Sun Belt. They were also like the 8th best Sun Belt team and while they were slightly better at the end of the season it's to like they went 8-2 down the stretch or anything.

I do think we're probably more likely to grind out wins this year, much like the other night, than blow people out via crazy hot 3 pt streaks. Boogin this year is gonna be getting 5 straight stops and stretching out our small lead with an 8-0 run instead of just going nuts for 3 minutes shooting the rock and creating turnovers and going on a 24-4 run. The Davidson game was one of those that last season we probably balloon that thing up to 25 in the 2nd half and it's over. This years team is gonna grind on people more, wear them down and finish the games off but the W's are going to be by 12 when they used to be by 26 or something.
 
Do we not have enough chairs for everyone? Looks like two walkons have to sit on the floor
