Grumps 3,693 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We played sloppy but we could afford to play sloppy. They earned it and they know what is coming Saturday. Great win! War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,039 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 This is what I was saying. Green played a much better overall game. We were spreading the ball around. We are unstoppable if we play like that. And we weren't even consistent. I'm trying to tell you there's almost no limit to how good we can be if our guard play share the ball better 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jAUSon 2,836 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 They became more focused on having fun and playing to the crowd, for every 2 failed plays they made once in a lifetime highlight plays. Made it into a big party. Hopefully the steals, blocks, depth, and defense that allowed for all the offensive silliness will still be there to create enough looks for a more serious win. They needed this break imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, bring on the wildcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think Pearl would let that happen. We got careless tonight because we knew the competition. We’ve had problems playing down to our opponents in the past, but I think this team is different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Was not able to see much or read the thread, so hopefully this is not something that has already been explained; but at the post game presser Pearl was asked about Georgia specifically trying to rough up Jabari. He responded he was not a fan of teams who try to take out the best player. The next reporter pressed and he said he would not say more bc he did not want to get himself in trouble. Was this obvious? I felt like in the presser he was very peeved about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment seemed odd to me but in this context it makes perfect sense. Great forearm shot from Jabari BTW. And to the uga bulldogs: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To many long stretches in which they collapse or get sloppy Which is why I can’t watch them play lol. 3 on 1 break , 3 point shot. Ugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I was at the game so we didnt get a replay, but I can't believe the officials did absolutely nothing about #23 walking from base line to top of the key just to get in Jabari's face at the very beginning of the game. From what I've heard (I'll watch the replay in my lunch break) the guy tried to bully ball Jabari and got stone walled underneath. Nothing dirty or malicious. But as an official you CANNOT let that confrontation happen and nothing come of it. That wasn't a spur of the moment altercation. Dude had half a minute to think it out and still took the walk. On the other side of it, good on Jabari for not backing down! Dude got in Jabari's face and Jabari was about it. Also, good on the rest of the team stepping in.

I felt like in the presser he was very peeved about it. Without knowing s about f (shout out Ruth and Ozark fans), I would venture a guess that Bruce is proactively managing the media and the officials. Maybe he's planting a seed. May or may not take root but it's in the ground. "Pay careful attention to opponents going after my guy." Listen for it on future broadcasts. Could become a small storyline and more attention might be drawn to fouls on Smith. Or maybe he really was just pissed, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 As an old guy who has watched some really s***ty AU basketball over the years, nitpicking a 20+ point conference win (even against a really s***ty team) is really fun. We have now all turned into Nick Satan. Separately, if we could turn Kessler's mean from a 5 to a 8, and Jabari's aggression from a 6 to 9, we win it all. Hell, we might win it all anyway. The tournament is a cruel bitch though as we all experienced in the final 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I blame the Golden State Warrior for this lol. 3s are dandy when they go in but basketball wise it’s still a bad s*** whether u make it or not. The numbers show a dunk or layup is a much higher percentage shot than a three. I just hope it doesn’t bite them in the butt when they really need to buckle down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
