Hoping we see a lot of Powell, Mashack, Bailey, Aidoo, Uros and the walk-ons tonight!

I’d love to see Bailey hang 20+ on the dogs and regain some of his shooting form.

DJ Burns won the Big South Player of the year and then Drew Pember won the Big South Defensive Player of the Year. Glad to see them suceed.

Is it just me, or is it absolutely ridiculous that neither Chandler nor Josiah are on this list? Last time I checked, metrics say Josiah is a top 5 defender. He is so underappreciated.

I didn’t realize Tshiebwe was that good defensively, I thought he was just a monster on the boards.

His defense is buoyed by his defensive rebounding. He's a pretty average defender away from the basket limited by his athleticism and lateral quickness.

Did I hear the announcer right when he said that Zeiglers family had a house fire??

Auburn favored by 3 tomorrow at MSU

It is ridiculous JJJ isn’t on there

Tshebwe is an overrated defender

Yes

Yes

Dang, prayers to his family

A win is a win! Did something Grant and Admiral teams couldn’t do. That’s something. Time to pummel the Razorbacks.

Well. That’s unfortunate. Guess we’ll just have to win Saturday.

He's not. Fulky torched him and he was lost against Arkansas.

Actually fell quite a bit in offensive efficiency because UGA is 306 in defense.

I just noticed we are LAST in the SEC in 2 pt % and by a large margin. Obviously a reason we can go on such cold streaks. Yikes

I know at this point in the year these things are not likely to change too much, but this seems like we need to do something to really change this. Part of this can be solved w KC being more aggressive to the rim. But I’ll be honest, this is the last thing I expected to type, Plav is .500 from 2. Second only to KC. I know a lot of that is shot selection/second chance, but maybe we try to incorporate him in more sets that we can go to when we find ourselves in these cold spells

It feels to me 70% of Plav’s points are just his defender leaving to help and him just standing there wide open for the dunk

He’s got a pretty solid hook shot, when he’s quick with it and not trying to do too much it’s solid…BHH & Aidoo probably don’t need to try scoring off anything other than dunks/putbacks/drop offs…we gotta cool down on some of the mid range stuff, and we need Fulky to be efficient in scoring down low.

I've said it all year long. There can't be more than a handful of teams in the country that miss more shots at the rim than we do.

Probably. But I think we can try to draw up more of that action to give him some looks. Probably going to mean getting KC to the rim which seems like a good strategy anyway

Man good for Drew...

started 27 of 28 games this year, 27.0 mpg, 15.4 ppg, 6.6 rbpg, 3.0 bpg, 1.4 apg, 0.8 spg (better numbers than DJ Burns as well)

Arkansas's conference road game splits, their free throw rate plummets. Largest discrepancy in the conference. Bud Walton home cooking. I feel refs don't ever treat us that way. I'm going to be pissed if they get away with half the ******** they did in our first game.

Goes to show how elite SEC athletes have to be to succeed
