Title: Baylor vs EMAW
Post by: AppleJack on January 16, 2015, 09:00:40 AM
Let's discuss this game for a moment.

* How do we attack the zone with just 1 shooter? Maybe the zone will help our PG's  :dunno:
* How quickly will Gip get 2 fouls trying to keep Gathers off the boards
* Finally - No Brady Heslip  :Woot:

Whatever.

Jevon is gonna carve up this zone like dadjones used to carve up the Thanksgiving turkey on Thanksgiving Day.

Every Cat fanatic that has lungs and vocal cords at the game should holler and stomp at Baylor until your eyes bug out, your tongue swells, foam comes out you nose, your hoarse, and your feet swell.  This group of Cats play their best when energized by the crowd or are mad at the world.  Turn up the heat so Foster and Fiends can have a bear meat feast.

Yes....Niño at the short corner is key.  Gibson won't able to score inside against BU bigs; I hope we don't even try that.

Baylor has one player listed at 6'9 and two a 6'8. He should get some put backs and seals.

Wes and Jevon slashing (without turning it over) is critical.

Cherry dribbles to his right and pulls up for jumpers. He did this last year in Manhattan. How can the scouting report not be better on him. We must force him left more and jump out hard on those high screens..... And don't let him come off the screen with no pressure in his face

I enjoy wins regardless of the coach. I think the thing most of Team BID struggles with is that no matter how the team does, we don't like oscar as a person and his personality flaws have shown a tendency to affect on court play negatively. Dunno, maybe if we made the Final 4 or something I could take on the he's an idiot but he's our lovable idiot mentality.

The long shot from Foster that we rebounded worked out in the end. It is funny that he got a shorter, more open shot on his own that oscar stopped with the time out. It looks like oscar didn't quite learn his lesson from the end of the OU game that he should just stay out of the way in those situations.

My first game at the OOD since #titletown.  Love the new lighting scheme and blacking out the crowd. For a huge game it must just feel like dark rage to the guys on the court. Imagining it for the true OOD era gives me goosebumps. And the jumbotron is every bit as impressive as advertised.
Title: Re: Baylor vs EMAW
Post by: kso_FAN on January 17, 2015, 07:57:42 PM
Yes, we switched a lot of screens, but Chery simply couldn't come down and drive or pull up and pop to his right like he consistently did against Jevon. Westicles's length bothered him and it was a very good decision. Also, choosing to bust Baylor's screen and roll game instead of going under screens was significant too.

This was my 2nd this year and it was great. Also, despite some ugly stretches of play, the crowd came alive down the stretch and it was loud in there. Very OODish.

Also oscar deserves some credit for being pretty good at winning decent games at the OOD; now 7-1 against ranked and has won 6 in a row IIRC.

first game for me at the OOD this season. agree with 'meister on all accounts. the atmosphere wasn't bad before but it's so much better now. the 'tron is a thing of beauty, and the new lighting enhances the look of the entire place. can't wait for some big games.

i can't believe we won that game. i, along with the people around me, were laughing at how we were playing the first 10 minutes. the turnovers were laughable, and multiple times i thought to myself that baylor was out classing us. and we came back and won the game.
