Hello!

Postby SouthernDawg » Sun Mar 16, 2008 10:10 pm

Well, I have to admit.....this time last week, I had already moved onto football for next year as we are a Pre-Season Top 5 team. Didn't think we would be playing in the NCAA Tournament

Do I think we beat you all? Nah, probably doubtful.

We have an offense that is far from powerful but when we are "on", we seem to hit a good amount of shots with high %'s

When we aren't....well, I mean, look at our record. We aren't quite often

I expect us to give a good fight and end up losing 82-77

Welcome to our board. I hope this time next week that you can continue to pursue your top 5 football team's future.

Congrats on winning the SEC and taking 2 wins in one day and three within 2.

Could you tell us what kind of foul shooting team you have? Who you go to player is and what is your inside game is like?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

If only the dayton fans could be so enlightened.

Hello Georgia fan. If X comes out and plays with intensity, I say it may be more like 79-68. But X has also shown that they can win close games we will see. And what seed did UD get in the NIT?

I think that southern was just being realistic. Not many (maybe 2-3) UGA fans thought that we would be here this time last week. Don't get me wrong, we are very excited and would like notihng more than to be saying the same thing this time next week. It's just not likely.

We normally live and die by our guard play. Gaines is an All-SEC caliber player who is currently the heart and soul of the team. We also have Humphrey, Butler, & Swansey. All four can hit the 3, with Gaines & Humphrey being the biggest threat. At forward we have Woodbury (who can play guard also), Price, and Jackson (who can play center also (6-10)). Woodbury is the biggest threat there and can drive or light it up from the arc. Center is Bliss and Jackson, both are 6-10 and like to play physical. Bliss is the senior and a little bit more experienced, but a little bit less of a scorer. Most of our scoring will come from the outside, unless there is an obvious mismatch we can get inside (which I doubt). As for the go to guy near the end. If Gaines is in there, then it will probably be him. However, Swansey won the kentucky game for us and Humphrey was hugh in the end of the Arkansas game and Bliss made the winning shot during the Ole Miss game. Our biggest problem is that we tend to get into foul trouble. This hurts because we only have 10 players (long story). We are very aggressive on defense and will pick up quite a few stupid fouls. This isn't because we're poorly coached, but (as I said) we are very aggressive. We also tend to be very physical. If the refs call it loose we might stand a chance. If they call it tight, the game won't be.

Good luck .........
