homersapien 11,498 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Well, like Pearl said in his post-game, "beat Alabama at home and you make history". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 1,886 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Dang, like this part. Bottom line, the resume is strong -- so strong that the Tigers, provided they win at Ole Miss this weekend, should also move to No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Monday for the first time in school history (if enough AP voters know what they're doing). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass the ball more, which equals trust in one another. It’s what fueled the 2019 team after their mid-season string of losses to the Final 4.

Seems to lead to more turnovers and bad shots as the shot clock runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Green’s intensity, but he thinking he’s Steph Curry with those 35-footers are eventually going to cost us against an equally-good squad. I’m ok with them if every starter has touched the ball on a possession, attempted to get quality shots and the shot clock is nearing its end. I’m referring to early in the shot clock. Pass the ball around the horn. We have an abundance of talent who can get open to get quality shots. Very surprised Pearl hasn’t nipped that bud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree those types of shots can be costly, I really believe it is more of an in game feel. I believe Bruce has trust in his guys and has instilled confidence in them to be able to feel it. I don't think Green shoots too many of those. It looks like a horrible possession when he airballs or bricks it, but damn it can be a back breaker when he drains those rainbows. So as it is now I have no problem with it. 12 minutes ago, Viper said: Scott Pohlman Thanks you! I would have never remembered his name. That was the first AU basketball team I ever watched.

Don’t disagree w Pearl’s confidence in his team. That’s his driving force. But other than LSU, we haven’t played a squad on our level yet. The UConn loss was a century ago. It’s going to bite us. Again, I’m ok w Green launching them late, but not the hero stuff that Curry does early in the shot clock. It’s low percentage and completely unnecessary given how good his teammates are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game could have gone either way at the end. I also think giving up a 13 pt (?) lead late in the game would be humbling. They know they made a lot of mistakes last night, including some poor shooting early in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
