WL is encouraging...4-5 from 3'....that would really help out
JP tough inside...11pts / 10 rbs
Hope WE can rb from this game and be ready for isu..they will come after JP inside and some help would be great....did AT get in?

[amckillip]

I just don't know what can be said to this.....


But seriously I do hope that, because if he can get it together for next year, TB could play the 3 at times and we could have a 3,4,5 of TB, WE, and JP. That would be nice to have when we need to go big.

I agree. I would be ecstatic if our lineup were SM, DSE, TB, WE, and JP. Only problem is that really leaves us OK shooting at best...

LOVE to see the double double from JP!

I missed the game but noticed Milos had some pt. Does anyone know how much pt Milos got today?

Thanks DC. I would really like it if Milos could start producing!

[Da Coach]

His 2 baskets were big. Way to go Milos.

Any idea what's going on with Will?

Just got home from errands. Missed today's game.
What happened to DD? Hopefully sick instead of injured or something else.

Just looking at stats, solid games by our young guys - WL, JP, DSE, JE.
I really like WL's game (like I haven't said this enough).
How was his D today? He's usually pretty good 1-on-1.

Coach Les said on the post game interview WL and JE's defense was huge in the second half.

This is exciting to me... With aw and dd graduating the only logical preseason lineup appears to be sm dse tb we and jp... Which I think is a very interesting lineup.

I would think Walt Lemon would merit some consideration for a starting sport next year.

I would think Walt Lemon would merit some consideration for a starting sport next year.

Over who? Lemon is playing well, but logically speaking, who would you take out of that starting lineup for him? Egolf would be the only one that makes any sense, but even that doesn't make much sense to me.

Plus, Lemon has not had a very consistent enough for me to say he should start next year. He had a great game against UTM, but I've seen too many games where goes out and can't get anything to go. If he plays that well in these last few games and in the Valley Tourney, then it would make sense to say think about starting him, but I'm not jumping on Walt's bandwagon yet. I think he's incredibly talented, but the starting lineup of SM, DSE, TB, WE, and JP for next year seems to make the most sense to me, with Lemon coming off the bench as the 6th man.

I really like Walt, but pending health issues I wouldn't start him as a sophomore over any of the guys outside of the "big" spots (4 & 5). He could back up either of the guard spots though... And you'll see lineups with TB at the 4 without a doubt also. I think that it would be ideal though if our "3" is manned in those lineups by guys at least 6'4... So JE, SH, and Remy Abell.

This is where I don't get JL's strategy. We were killing UT-M on the boards for the first several minutes. If they missed, the Braves had the paint boxed out. Plus, we got several easy inside shots ... some of which didn't fall but over the course of a game we were going to dominate these guys inside. Instead, WE gets his 2nd foul, so OK he needs to sit ... but use AT for goodness sakes. We had these guys dead to rights with an inside game. UT-M proceeded to outrebound us for a long stretch of the game. Do you think JL sat WE because he thought he needed to guard the arc which was the only way UT-M could beat us?

I would like to see a new coach at the helm for next year, even if it means losing Sammy.

OK, we know. Please, let's not turn this thread into another discussion of who wants a new coach. There are already numerous other threads filled with that.
