I like it. If we cover this one, I think we kind of level up.

Nijel Pack has been shooting terribly the last couple games so I assume he pops off tomorrow but that's fine as long as we limit everyone else. Talked about this in the other games thread but I think sometimes people worry too much about one guy going off when the rest of the team isn't.

Lets put another W on the board in front of what should be a pretty good crowd tomorrow

Well the Pierre dude from SMU went off and we lost. I agree with the premise.

Yeah the key is that they're otherwise struggling and their overall efficiency is below yours. You can't let one guy ball out of control AND set up everyone else.

1 player going off is probably not going to be a winning proposition if the opposing team is able to do what they want to do otherwise but I don't know that that's really how things work in general. One guy going off has positive impacts on the rest of the picture for his team. There's no specific formula for success but imo you better have a way to make an opponent uncomfortable with what they do well to expect a W.

Win today and we're one victory over UT away from national spotlight and a top 25 ranking. But I'm okay swimming below the surface as long as it takes till the country wakes up to Bucky Ball. Think we cover today and probably open as 8 or 9 points dogs on the road next Tuesday.

I think an extreme example of what I'm talking about is a lot of games with us last year. Instead of being overly concerned with locking down Wade Taylor, teams were generally better off just playing us straight up and not letting anyone like Payne, Garcia, etc get going at all.

The games where we were at our best were often ones where teams shifted their defense to worry about Wade and then he puts up like 6 assists.

What I'm not saying is you just let a guy go who's killing you for like two points per possession and is absolutely nuclear. Take the LSU game, Mackinnon was scoring a lot but he wasn't hyper efficient on 20 points on 18 shots (though we did let him get too many assists.)

Nwoko on the other hand had 21 points on just 10 shots because not only was he getting good looks, we kept fouling him.

Except we're not limiting everyone else. (Yet)

might get a few votes in Monday's poll, we're about a UCF/SMU closeout from being comfortably around where UGA sits


Auburn was still getting a couple and should hold if they finish this game
