I think we've come a long way since that game, but it's still an SEC road game against a team that beat you on your floor so I wouldn't be taking it too lightly!
Georgia scored 21 points in second half and did not score field goal for seven minutes
Georgia is capable of scoring points. They scored 41 first half points against Alabama and had a 17 point lead. They scored 96 points against Kentucky and scored 80 something points in regulation time against Florida. Georgia is a dangerous team and this is another quality win for South Carolina.
Yeah, they came back from 22 down or something against Florida to make it a game. First half just had the feel of a game where we didn’t have it.
I kept my composure because South Carolina was only to respond back with scoring inside.
Just made the first loss to them even more inexcusable. Ought to be 20-2 right now.
Have to just chalk it up as a learning experience and a motivator game that was needed to light a fire within this team.
Blah, blah, blah. Hope you don't live your life looking in the rear view mirror.
Georgia's guards took it to us driving to the rim in the second half of the first game. Put that with a significant number of missed free throws and lay-ups and you have the recipe for a loss. We made the adjustments today. Paris didn't have his guards beat their heads against a wall trying to the guard the Bulldogs in man. The 1-3-1 defense in the second half was the difference maker today. That is how a coach and team grows. You don't look back to cry over the loss. You look back to figure out what adjustments you need to make.
I cry over losses, but with the passage of time, I cry less frequently over particular losses as other even more galling losses occur.
Nobody pays me to cry, so I'm not stealing from anybody, but if anyone wanted to pay me not to cry, I would consider it. I wouldn't accept Bitcoin, though, until I understand it better.
Only part of it. I learned that by doing a lot of driving on the interstates and other freeways. It's essential. That has other life applications as well.
Should be 21-1. Blew two late leads against UGA and Clem.
However, this is beyond anyone’s expectations. I thought we had a chance to be .500. Certainly didn’t see this coming.
This team is more balanced than Martin or Folger’s best teams, and Paris is doing it in year 2, amazing. Folger had 3 great guards and mediocre big play. Martin had Thornwell, 2 good bigs, and Dozier off the dribble. But Dozier couldn’t shoot. Thornwell and the bigs carried that team. Paris has a way more balanced team, and by the way, he seems to be recruiting at a higher level. Buckle up, we may have something cooking if we can keep Coach Paris. Clemson looks like they may stumble down the stretch. We could lock down in state recruits and build this program. It looks very promising.
Never did understand all the gaga over Dozier. Slow afoot and imprecise when shooting.
We had a lockdown defense in that FF run. When we played Duke, we made them pick up their dribble just past half-court. We frustrated them and beat them down. I think this team is very similar, which means we could have a deep run, not having to rely on hitting 10 3s a night. Defense travels well.
That loss to Georgia made South Carolina refocus on basic fundamentals in their following practices.
