Thing is ballcoach, we need three things to be able to run that style of offense: 1) high percentage three point shooters 2) strong defenders up and down the roster and 3) a lot of well conditioned speedsters that can press going all down the court one way and then race down the other way and get those three pointers and layups

I saw the game last night. I was very impressed with what we did in the first half. The second half, not so much. It could have been different if we were able to make a few of shots in the first 5 minutes... Games like this makes you appreciate guys like Jessie Sanders even more.

I also have to say that BSK is right in that respect. I know that we put up a ton of points against them one time, but we had much better personnel then to be able to not only shoot at a high percentage, but could rebound and initiate easy runouts

Our strength this year is our bigs...that is probably the last thing we need to be doing.

Does anybody remember ballcoach from last year? He's either wrong about everything all the time or possibly a parody poster.

Alright let me explain somehing and make all you guys feel better --

ok so here's also the deal vs W&M -- the new Flames come out to big lead, play hard, go up big in first half -- so at half time they are feeling good, maybe too good... the Tribe comes out goes on a run, when that happens the New Flames have no real on court leader yet to calm them down...

translation LU wasn't use to playing with lead, and kinda panicked when Tribe came back... all that being said LU will be fine once Burrus comes back and they play more games together.

Confuse anyone :dontgetit :dontgetit
