Puthcher College Round Ball Stuff here

Very obvious in last night's game that we have more talent that we've had in a long time, as Snags pointed out.

Cinnamon's buns are 30 lbs lighter, that Canty kid (the guard #1--kid from Brooklyn) seems to have an attitude at times but damn! He can ball. And he appeared to play through some pain, if he wasn't acting a bit. Still, he won the game in the end.

We mostly played team ball. I really was impressed with how we hung tight against what appears to be another very good Mercer team. And we didn't fold in the end. That appears to be the difference between this year and last so far. We have more confidence and we are just better.

Too early to say tourney team. We have to rebound better for sure. And, the 3's and ft's weren't falling like they need to. But the potential is def there. That was a fun game to watch.

No doubt.  When Bowers and Harris both went 1 for 2 at the line and we had a couple of trips down the court with a turnover and weak shot, I was face palming and thinking here we go again.  Then Canty said, "Not so fast my friend". When he hit that 3, it was over.

Our rebounding was  last night.

Last year, Troy decided to start playing a game in Dothan every year.  Good thing to promote the program and the school.  Took mini Snags to the game last night to see them play Division II Paine College out of Augusta.  Not exactly Kansas vs. UCLA but a pretty entertaining way to spend a Thursday night.  Got court side seats.  Paine has a guy who averages 27 a game and he was fun to watch.  About 6'4" and silky smooth shot.  I really wanted to see Wesley Person and he did not disappoint.  Scored 28 with 23 of those coming in the first half.  He cooled off in the second half but he was on fire in the first. 

Game was tight and Paine tied them up with about 2:00 to go but Troy pulled away late.  Not a lot to either of these teams. No real size at all for Troy.  A couple of 6'7" guys inside.  Person is not a point guard.  Handles the ball well but they have him where he needs to be at shooting guard. He would have made a nice addition to the Tiggers and given us a serious 3 point threat but our former coach was a raging dumbass.  Anywho...like I said, worse ways to spend a Thursday night than taking the boy to a college basketball game.

Auburn down by 9 at the half to Xavier. Tigers looked like poop to start.

[Snaggletiger]

After getting schlonged by Xavier, the Tiggers take to the hardwood again today out in Hawaii.  They face New Mexico (7-3) at 1:30.

New Mexico has beaten Northern Iowa but also lost to Rice.  Should be an interesting game that the Orange Pearls have a chance to win.

Did you just make a pee pee joke?

And a poo-poo joke.

I can see blood coming from someone's eyes now.

Getting schlonged will do that to you.

Getting schlonged will do that to you.

And you are speaking from experience?

[Snaggletiger]

And you are speaking from experience?

Oh man, let me tell you.  When that thing.....wait...I mean....are you crazy?  Noooooo...

[djsimp]

Can someone tell what time the game is today?

[WiregrassTiger]

Can someone tell what time the game is today?

Sure, I can.

[Snaggletiger]

Can someone tell what time the game is today?

Uh huh.

[Buzz Killington]

Can someone tell what time the game is today?

I'm 10% certain that someone can.

Also, where are they playing? I need to know folks. Very serious here.

Well, in that case...someone help the man out sharpish!

[djsimp]

Tick tock tick tock, time is a wasting.

Srsly, I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure it's in one of those big tall buildings, sometimes called a gymnasium, arena, coliseum, etc.

Hope this helps.
