Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 2990254, member: 9267"] I think they're way better than their record shows. They're a tough team, they have physicality that match us at times. We play better against teams that take 25 three-point shots than we do teams that has physicality and toughness. They lost to Georgia Tech and Villanova... not egregious losses... those are solid teams with solid records. Lost to Maryland too. Then lost to UCLA who's not the same anymore but still has some Division I talent to go against you. Still, the difference in the game is the guard play. We need some 3-pointers and make Georgia come out and defend us. We kept driving in when they had 3 really strong players in the paint. It's risky like that and every other drive could get blocked, ball knocked out of bounce, or missed. Danberry and Holmes were combined 6-22 tonight. Howard and McCowan was able to compensate for their off nights. Bibby obviously had a terrific night otherwise we would've been reduced to just Howard and McCowan. Our bench is absolutely dreadful. The reason it looked like the Kentucky game was over already by the first quarter was because ALL 5 of our starters had a great game. When 2 of our starters have bad games, we need somebody on the bench and it seems like our bench according to Vic is still very developing at this point. .... [/QUOTE]
