2024-2025 Fighting Pearls

[CCTAU]

You just made my point for me.  If we're shooting 40%, we're playing well.  If we shoot 20%....well, you know...we're not playing well.

We were 18-59 (30.5%) overall, and 3-20 (15%) from the arc against Tennessee.  The Vols are great defensively, but we just plain shot it poorly. 

A few weeks ago, we probably run these last two teams out of the gym. But, we are in a bit of a funk recently shooting the rock.  The great thing is that we are so solid in other areas, we can still weather the storm and win most of these.

These are all salient points.
With what we have upcoming, every SEC opponent is gunning to take down #1.
Our stroke needs to return quickly so we can have some games that are not a 40 minute struggle.
In the past we would crumble. But these guys just turn up the defensive heat when the offense is slumping.

Shooting the rock?  That sounds a lot like dropping dimes.

Damn it, keep that loose change in your pocket.  People are slipping and sliding all over the court.  That could easily cause a team to get boat raced.

So I'll agree that we aren't shooting well right now.  But still playing pretty fucking good in the other areas.

How awesome is it that we're nit picking the number one team in the country?

Bruce has spoiled us. It’s his fault.

Hosting BlowU tonight at 8 (after some fun warmup games: UF/Vandy and UK/OM).

Hard to get a handle on Moser's team.  They were down to Vandy at the half (no shame in that this year), but ended up blowing out the 'dores by about 30.

Luckily we're in Neville and I hope that JB4 can take some minutes off to rest the leg/shoulder.

And that is how the #1 team in the country takes care of a good opponent at home..... just crush 'em....and put em on the bus back to Norman

If you take OU pts from the floor (43) and only AU pts in the paint, AU still wins by 3.....that's some good D and pounding the rock inside
