Eastern Shore Peggy Po's/Nancy Neg's

[Kat Kid]

I'm turning this one over to the steve's and #teamangel.  I'm in denver's C terminal TSC'ing my ass awaiting a connection to Vegas.
 Would love to hear some details from the game!

Jamar:  how did he look?  Knee ok?   Get the start?

Gip:  tell #teamgip all the wonderous and strong post moves he displayed

JO:  did he...you know...  Also, off the dribble?

Martavious:  lost?

Sprads neds no update because he is aways sprads.

McOreb get his shot back?

Yada yada yada.  Need a full report!

[sys]

pps = ar-t, gippy.  nns = wgaf?


samuels looked as big as a house.  jhr looked like he'd never heard of the concept of dunking on bitches.

- JO power moves & team turnovers

+ mi3 3s, tgip almost dubdub, jamsam screwed head on almost straight

[Johnny Thunderbone]

Peggy Po's:  See 2nd half.
Nancy Neg's:  See 1st half.

Judging from the score differentials in the two halves, you would think we played much better in the 2nd than we did in the 1st, but that was not necessarily the case. UMES couldn't miss from 3 early and we had several very make-able shots not fall (38% from the field in the 1st).

Good to see Frank and the boys keep their composure. I wouldn't have guessed being tied with 6 minutes left in the 1st that we would win by 42. It appears from the early games we are a much better 2nd half team (through 3 games we are -2 in the 1st half, and +62 in the 2nd), which is understandable considering we are young and Frank likes to play a deep bench.

I think the young guys are still discovering their roles, but seem to be adapting well and progressing offensively and defensively. We may be a tough team to handle come Big 12 play, though I see us being manhandled by superior athletic teams. Color me mildly optimistic.

[EMAWzified]

NNs, samuels finishing at the rim. Still cant (2-8 and one FG was a 3). And 3 rebounds in 25 minutes whoop, whoop; end of the bench white guys -- they really suck
PPs: JO's rebounds and put backs; Irving -- three 3s, 4 assists, no TO;. Southwell and Gipson, again/

Peak at a PP? Omari's sweet jumper. Jones' speed-- hope he learns gets the defense down.

[theKSU]

A few po-pos:  Gip looked great around the basket.  Jam Sam with an alley oop slam.  Diaz has good speed and body control on breaks.  Irving filled it up with 3x3s.  Jeremy Jones has a nice shot.  Team Shot 78% from the line and 53% from the floor.  Even Ojeles had a blocked shot. 

Na-na: UMES is terrible at basketball.  Announced attendance 12,528--the Royals must be doing the counting. 

[MakeItRain]

I really have an issue with Sprads lack or assertiveness.  He continues to play like a role player with starters minutes.  He needs to put more pressure on the defense.

[SuperG]

A few po-pos:  Gip looked great around the basket.  Jam Sam with an alley oop slam.  Diaz has good speed and body control on breaks.  Irving filled it up with 3x3s.  Jeremy Jones has a nice shot.  Team Shot 78% from the line and 53% from the floor.  Even Ojeles had a blocked shot. 

Na-na: UMES is terrible at basketball.  Announced attendance 12,528--the Royals must be doing the counting. 

Gip looked pretty good away from the basket too. Knocked down a jumper from the elbow and even looked good putting the ball on the floor from the same spot and taking it to the hole more than once to draw fouls and even finish on one of them. I think he still tires pretty quickly, but when he's on the floor he's giving everything. I like how he runs the floor for @ 270lbs.

Was anybody surprised he got the start over Jordan?

Saw pretty much what I expected out of a born-again Jamar. Plenty of effort, lot's of fouling, nice to see him flush that feed from 'Tay.

It's probably a good thing that it doesn't appear Rodney will be our leading rebounder this year. Wouldn't it be great if he 3rd or 4th best bounder this year? I think it would.

[catzacker]

Peggy:
- Gip: for a 40 year old guy with a couple a kids and a mortgage, Gip sure plays basketball well
- Didn't turn it over
- Def Rebounding


Nancy:
- 1st half:  everything about the game of basketball was terrible in the first half
- Jamar:  i mean, jfc.  finish.
- on ball defense: are guards can't very well without fouling.

still a NIT team.

[steve dave]

Jamar is still a foul drawing machine. Thought we were going to get the ole double foul when he was backing that guy under the rim 50 feet away from the ball but we got the homer single.

Rhoeledar (sp?) is as good at basketball as his brother was at football

Gip is as smooth as a house and has house like hands to match his house smoothness and size.

ar-t really "gets after it" on D.  love watching him.

like MIR said sprads has been dissapointing.

yeah I guess Jones is pretty fast (osu senior guy voice)

our novembercats got their big win.

[Trim]

Peg: Shane :pointingfingergun:

[mcmwcat]

pp: jamar

[CNS]

Sprads looked like a fantastic mid-major PG last night. 

[Stupid Fitz]

NN: If he was in a slam dunk contest by himself Jamar would find a way to get fouled and miss a weak ass lay in.

[Belvis Noland]

Peggy: 
-ball rotation through the zone.  yeah, we shot 65% in the 2nd half, but part of that was due to the high number of wide-open, uncontested shots. 
-front court range.  Jamar draining 3s and Gip hitting 15 footers. 
-perimeter shooting.  finally nice to see Irving and McGruder hit some open shots.   
-transition game.  yeah, UMES gave up in the 2nd half.  But, we were running all over the floor and getting easy points in transition. 

Nancy:
-Didn't really have any negatives.  I guess Spradling was dissapointing, for the same reasons already discussed. 

[CNS]

Second half: point where ball was passed to JO at the corner of the FT line.  The D shifted and a wide lane opened up to the basket.  JO looked at it, hesitated ever so slightly, then continued to swing the ball to the next guard over.  The entire crowd went quiet during his hesitation, then all went "Awwwwww!" when he swung the ball.  

Gotta give the crowd what they want, JO.  Feed the beast.  

Solidly in the Neg Nance category.  One dribble, one and a half steps, and a dunk from being a huge Peggy Po.

[bigwillie20]

Why don't our bigs like to dunk? 

[ZmoneyKSU]

How close is Spradling to becoming just our white, drive way shooting, 3 pt specialist, off the bench?

just nickname him Conner Teahan and be done with it.

[CNS]

Angel was awesome.  I can't comprehend not being :TeamAngel: at this point. 

[pissclams]

angle is undersized and will get dominated against better teams

you can't because sprads doesn't have golden locks or belle peau.

Understood.  He is inconsistent and will be for a while.  But he is fun to watch and brings a sense of urgency that our other guards don't have.
