It's looking like we are in control.

 

[Doc]

This team with Georges on the court is insanely better. He has to stay out of foul trouble the rest of the year and we can make a run.

They're just gonna have to find a way to play better without him. He's not going to stop getting in foul trouble. He has good effort on defense, but he's too small to be guarding 5s and too slow to be guarding 4s. Both of which result in fouling.

 

[cyclones500]

I don't know if he got it off.

 

[cyclones500]

He didn't beat the red light. Might've beaten the clock by 0.1

 

[Cyclonepride]

Out with .1, but not the first thing these refs haven't be able to see.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Late clock situation? Not that it matters this time, but bet on us to not end up on the plus side.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Fred should have managed that last 2.6 better

 

[DistrictCyclone]

Kentucky's getting smoked. Wow.

 

[Wesley]

He beat the clock in my book, not the red light. It should have counted.

 

[DistrictCyclone]

Fred should have managed that last 2.6 better

THIS ONE'S ON FRED!!!1!

 

[cyclones500]

I didn't like that last possession — dribble for 10 seconds then hoist a 3 — but Lucious made up for it with the steal

Agreed. And he's just a FR, so defense is probably the weakest part of his game. That isn't going to change in the next 4 weeks.

Feed it to Niang and let him score 30.

 

[Final42b]

Niang is a stud, him and ejim make me feel like we won't drop off much next year.

 

[MIClone]

My grades for the game so far:
Babb - A+
Lucious - B
Ejim - B
Clyburn - B-
Niang - A+
McGee - B
Booker - B
Gibson - ?
Palo - B

Well you know Matt Thomas and monte Morris won't hurt

 

[Cyclonepride]

Niang's FT stroke looks much better

 

[MIClone]

Niang's FT stroke looks much better

Ya, it definitely does. You know that would get addressed given Fred is his coach and that Niang is so solid with the fundamentals of basketball.

 

[DistrictCyclone]

My grades for the game so far:
Babb - A+
Lucious - B
Ejim - B
Clyburn - B-
Niang - A+
McGee - B
Booker - B
Gibson - ?
Palo - B

McGee only gets a B for scoring 9 points and getting 5 rebounds off the bench? Okay.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I don't think the refs like Booker.
