Possibly. However, I’m telling you – the beauty of these intergame lines is that when you see that all-too-familiar big early game lead that you know will evaporate down the stretch as soon as the team starts regressing to their 3 point shooting mean, there’s some money to be made.

I don’t recall Tech making a single contested shot and they have 50 points. I’ll be the first to admit that most know more about basketball than me here, but I’d say that’s pretty embarrassing defensively. Tech also only has 3 turnovers.
Trips Right said:
January 27th, 2010 at 7:59 pm

Diego said:
January 27th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
And sorry, I’m not calling you wrong or anything. I’m just frustrated.
Patrick Bateman said:
January 27th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Tech has hit some contested jump shots including some deep threes, but our defense especially against dribble drive penetration has been god awful. They’ll slow down from the outside (I hope) but they’re getting to the rim a little too easily….I like that we’ve decide zone defense is a concept that our guys can handle, but I don’t know if Tech is the team to pull it out against. It’s two games too late. KSU couldn’t hit anything from outside but we still continued to overplay them and allow driving lanes. A tad frustrating…
Trips Right said:
January 27th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Why are you sorry? You’re right. We are sucking on defense. I was just offering some solace by stating Tech can’t keep shooting like this forever.
anonymous said:

Looks like Texas may be trying out a less aggressive perimeter defense strategy, but they are having trouble figuring out how to go about it without just flat out not guarding people.

Mason and Balbay on the floor at all times. Barnes is going to stick with it his reasoning is D. Cant blame him

Mysterious, yep. Brown and Hamilton aren’t ready for prime time. Need to get Mason to start playing like he did as a sophomore. I’m not going criticize him for it after tonight.

I don’t want to see this Fresno State team in the tournament. That’s for sure.

If Brown just looked like he gave a shit about protecting the ball, I’d cut him some slack. He doesn’t get it. We need a dominant performance from DJ to put away Tech at home? We kind of suck.

We shot 37-67 from the field for 55.2%.
We shot 16-29 from the free-throw line for … 55.2%

The problem with Mason is that if he starts to get more active offensively, then we might drop to being a 40% FT shooting team.

Tech had 23 rebounds? That’s it? Glad we got the W and we did some good things in the game but I’m still a little concerned about our offside D and allowing to much dribble penetration. Tech was beat up and we were at home. We should roll them by double digits…

We just traded AJ Abrams for Avery Bradley in the offseason. Otherwise, same half ass team as last year. Depressing, but I’m happy for Mason tonight. I’ve always appreciated him even though it’s been very ugly for two years.
My expectations for this team have plummeted. Maybe low expectations will be good for them.

Great game for Mason and it was great to see. Hopefully he can build upon this, although I do think it’s important to remember that Tech is a very small team and Mason didn’t have a height mismatch like he normally does. I still think he’d be a better fit coming off the bench. It would break up the Dogus/Mason non perimeter threat we start with and also give us a better veteran and calming influence with the second unit, especially on the road. Although he had a terrible game tonight, I may want to experiment with starting Jordan to see what it does to his game and confidence. He may not feel so rushed as far as jacking up shots…..

I may be in a similar place Barton. We need or needed Hamilton or Brown to step up like Wall or Bledsoe did for UK. They didn’t.

“If I’m barnes I give them rest”
I agree with this. Avery looks tired.
“Tech had 23 rebounds? ”
I believe we really needed to face a team that we could just wake up and outrebound by 20.
Good 2nd half by the good guys. I’ll take Mason’s performance as a positive sign for the future.
Jackson Jeffcoat, come on down.

Tech is committed to that motion offense and they run it really well. Knight did a good job of getting his players to spread and then attack the middle. They gave up size but ran our bigs to death with those curl cuts and ball screens.
Tech wore down, hit 45% of their shots (they hit 44% for the year), and you could really tell it on defense. MIke Singletary had 15 points in the first half, but we made him play on the defensive end in the second half, and he only had 5 points.
Justin had 18 points, 5 assists and no turnovers — it was a helluva effort.

Great game by Mason. The announcer said Barnes told Mason he had to shoot more if he wanted to play. Really nice postup move where Mason faked to his left and then spun back to his right to hit a left handed hook shot. It was so great to see the old (young?) Mason back, maybe the Barnes mind freak is reversible.

If nothing else, just the mere threat of Mason and Balbay shooting will help us down the road. We don’t need them to combine for 30+ points every game.
