I think we mightve understood Hurleys thought process if we had to watch Sanogo try to guard their 5 out.

Even though he obviously should've been given a chance.

With Sanogo and Whaley in the game, play zone on D, and let STJ take jump shots. We block every shot in the lane and clean up on the boards.

On offense drop it down to your big men who are being “guarded” by a guard. Then pound the offensive glass.

Simple.

It’s not reasonable to expect so highly of this team without it’s leading scorer. Who is a dependable scorer without him? We have talent if they are on but I’m expecting a lot of pain until he hopefully comes back, otherwise it’s the bubble.

It mightve worked, or they mightve torn up a style of defense we almost never play. Far from simple.

This isn’t being stated enough. We would probably have looked terrible in the zone.

St J was did not have their 2nd best player most of the game... so com'on, this loss not sitting well. We make our free throws and stay with the formula we had and we win!

And keep Sanogo in over Polley

It probably would be better for the fans if our beat writers would ask him some good tough questions too. We never have any concrete answers and they have any never follow up questions

we were at home, national TV holiday game , favored by seven , pretty much in control for most of the game - and to lose like that - tough

This part was tough. I was at a clients house in Atlanta and watched him watch us blow the lead. I made the sale though. Silver lining.

Could not have been worse than what actually happened. IIRC, they drove the lane at will.

Have to win ugly. D and control the boards.

The needed response to STJ. was “simple”. Results of course aren’t guaranteed but definitely in our favor.

What we instead chose to do was match them small team to small team. They have the advantage doing in that style, so why do it? With Bouknight we can match small ball to small ball for a short stretch of game time. Without him, against a team like STJ, we can’t match up at all.

Hopefully a lesson learned. Know who you are, where your strengths and weaknesses lie. It is simple.

They changed the formula for Rolling Rock. I think the owner changed too.
Rolling Rock used to be right there with Heiniken with that subtle skunky flavor. I have had many clear and green bottled beers over the years that have that. Decent, if fairly fresh. After a week or so in the light, super strong skunky smell and flavor. The nature of the beast.

The new formula Rolling Rock does not skunk. Not sure what they did or how they did it.

Also, does not taste as good.

Used to drink Rolling Rock all the time in college when it was in the short stubby bottles with the wide mouth. They then changed to the tall bottles with the painted labels and raised the price. Couldn't afford the price increase in college.
