Peggy Po's:
#teamangel: A complete performance 13 points 7:3, pg duties against a press. I even came up with a nicnme: Angelito "No Joda" Rodriguez! When Angelito does something good, I think we should all scream "NO JODA!" A true step forward for him. His confidence breaking their press was outstanding. Completely superior to Will in his backcourt decision making wth the ball. Threw a very nice oop. Did not get many calls when he attacked the hips of alabama defenders for blocking fouls (look who's been watching jake/denis tape) but the calls eventually came and he was very strong on the ball given the pressure. Did he make a few bad passes? Yes. Frank then yelled at him and it made me feel better about it because it makes me think the frankination has begun. I hope everyone never questioned my motivations. I hate because I love. It is the kind of dysfunctionality that Frank fans trade in as parents, lovers, friends and fans.
Handling the press- tons of credit to Frank and co. They did a commendable job breaking down bama's press. The bigs played with confidnce and outside of shane southwell everyone was calm and knew what to do bama lost the TO battle 14-18! No bigger indictment of their press than that. Jamar played very cool dribbling when the pressure was in the pssing lanes off him, just very effective all around. . Clearly Anthony is a big fan of peggy po's/nancy neg's and knows that this author has questioned the ability of this year's hoops team to handle pressure. Side note: they killed bama's zone even when they were not hitting 3's.
JO!!- I said/squeaked that a few times. Sure he had the third or fourth best oop of the game (shout out to bama, you put on a show /condescendingnonracistheadpatpraise). Maybe it was the different location of th scoreboard and the much improved second half pace, but I was shocked when I looked up ad saw he had 11.
Sprads is Sprads son- sprads doing sprads thinss. Hit a 3, 5:1, 3 steals.
Jamar- this is who he is. Up down Up down. This team is going to be an absolute bitch for teams to play. It just will not be fun. Saying/typing dax thoughts about our offense misses the point. This team will destroy your offense. All day. All day. Jamar is an enormous part of this and when he keeps his head he is a performer. I really enjoyed Jamar's game. Solid effort.
VIC!- maybe his best minutes ever. A legitimately huge momentum bucket, solid D and then the most LOL 3pt att ever. That just slayed me. Saw Jamar do it, had just put back a 2 footer and he had to just be like "eff it, I'm hot!" Not even mad baxter etc. Etc.
Tay tay- getting shots, able to penetrate and playing disciplined ball, did not hit his 3. Solid performance. Decent D. These guards aren't complete crap. Feels good!
The 2nd half coast- got some fun digs in at Anthony Grant about heading back to the mid-majors. Wife left early bcause she toldme to leave him alone and I didn't, but she waited for me in the concourse and did not divorce me.
Frank Franking the team then getting a rebound performance like this.
Good crowd- Thanks KC for hosting a wonderful event and to all you cat hoops fan for coming and getting loud!
Tunnel dance! Really appreciated the complete lack of pre-tense about this being a home game. I hope everyone is enjoying tay, because I don't know we will ever see this level of confidence from a tunnel dancer again. He went around and used the additionl space to show off the hnd shakes he'd been working on with the guys? Jesus. We may need to send White Tiger off for some seasoning as a HC at some JUCO we can place kids at and bring tay on as a grad asst./tunnel dance choreographer. Could not be any more pleased with tay's efforts and I hope people know they are watching a youngster at the absolute peak of his game. JO had some swag that clearly led to some good things. Diaz's lock pick has gained steam and is an early favorite to disappointingly replace tay tay. Would really enjoy Sprads doing the worm or "No Joda" and Diaz dancing a quick bachata.
Nancy Neg's-
Green- he put his whole self in our butt, He was able to single-handedly be bama's o-rebs. He was a terrifying monster of good. Is this a preview of t-rob DOB'ing our asses and kicking sprads into the hoop trying to take a charge in the circle for an and 1, putting back bunnies and in general owning our perceived strength? Well gip, we're getting to you.
Gipson- his lack of hops/length/athleticism was exposed real hard. He won't have too many other teams like this, but Baylor, KU could be big troubs. He just looked lost out there when his strong defensive stance was getting scored on. Was not able to push his man off the block and couldn't defend away from the hoop when he did, also is still struggling with his help D although it was better and he got a couple blocks. #teamgipson for carrying the team when Jamar and JO couldn't. This is why hving 3 guards capable of handling the ball and 3 bigs is huge.
McOrebs- disappointing effort. Zero McOrebs. No scrappy putbacks, no adorable things to smile about. Just an anonymous Southmeh esque game. Worried about the lack of spring and energy.
South-meh. I see the value, but nearly any achievement at this point just makes me sad about McOress. I will hencefort drp any petense of objectivity. I wish his sex eyes produced more sexy hoop play instead of getting all googly when there is open space on the floor for him to dribble in to (troubs).
McGruder- This post is about mourning the death of a dream. I have a candle burning Rod. My heart will go on, but not without some serious pain. The 3 balls rent coming back are they? We knew you weren't going to be a vocal leader, but what the hell happened to the swag? You missed a game winning 3 at CU last year by miliseconds. The ball was in your hands, there was little doubt who was taking the shot, you nailed an absurd look, I mean what the hell happened? Can a non-booster student hold a #cheeruppete #peteinspires type shindig that ends with some happy times for Rod?
