Per my Twitter timeline & text machine, pretty sure every person in here had a few "Ballgames" last night.

Mine was "Welp, that's the ballgame" when dude hit that ******** 3 practically standing out of bounds. Did my best to shift into "don't give a **** mode" at that point...

This is what it all boils down to.

Jon Scott posted our 6 worst FG% differentials of the season on Twitter.

@ Georgia
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
@ Florida
LSU
Columbia

Those 6 games are a combination of our toughest games this year and our worst performances.

But then on the other hand...Georgia executed their game plan to absolute perfection, just like a few of the teams on that list did, and they've all lost.

If Mark Fox could just pull in one halfway decent recruiting class, he'd turn Georgia into the job I think it's capable of being. Dude can coach his balls off. For the most part, his sets last night had us looking like a Chinese fire drill. But then the magnitude of the moment got to them.

- "Scared money don't make no money"
Freakin Cal.

- Absolutely, Towns is our go-to guy. Why not? Dude has been auto.

- What about that drive, compose himself and Whitaker bank shot by Aaron?


- What do you do with that #1 pick now? Okafor, Towns or the wild card Russell?

- We get down to the last 5 minutes and teams are just drained...and that's when we start playing our best ball.

- How many times ALREADY in his career has Lee stepped up, despite limited previous minutes, and given us BIG PLAY?

- How bout that late knife by Ulis through the D and then up-and-under dish for Big Karl for the bucket? MACHO.

- I just can't get over this team. No panic in'm. Our current BEST PLAYER ON TEAM has shifted about 15x through the season. Right now, it's Towns and probably Andrew.

You know, I've been pretty well behaved this season - at least on the internet - but I reverted back to vintage BKH last night. Brought shame upon my family. If I ever get disowned and removed from wills, it will be during Super Tuesday.

Redass Apostolopoulos, though. Reminds me of myself when I first signed up for Twitter.

We were clutch, but give UGA a little credit for missing their final 5 FTs, most of which were front ends. Brutal.

Ol' Andy Harrison has been stealth MVP for about a month now. Dude has it clicking. He's damn near Booker on that right corner three lately.

Lyles was getting abused last night and that is exactly where not having Poythress hurts.

Not sure any team can execute a game plan like Fox had for 40 minutes. Georgia did it for 35 and then Kentucky beat them into submission. It was glorious to watch.

I don't see Stevens leaving Boston. He's only been there a couple of years and has done a hell of a job, all things considered.

- What about a game at freaking Georgia and we have Ashley Judd, Belechick and Barkley in the house?

- If I'm Indiana, I hire Gregg Marshall. No question. I guess give Stevens and Bennett a shout first, but I wouldn't dick around long. Marshall's ready for the bigtime. I think he'd be great there.

- Andrew has just been huge- especially with Booker's outside shot gone. Bricker's back. And Ulis- dude wasn't even close last night.

It's going to be awesome when he says, "No."

However, I really don't want them to make a great hire in Smart or Marshall, either. Hopefully they hire some Midwestern dud that does things "The Indiana Way" and they stay firmly planted in 1987.

* Ulis gives me such a hard-on with his 100-miles-an-hour style of play. In the span of about 8 seconds, he somehow completely dominated 3 possessions in the 1st half...

steal on the defensive end --> lob to wcs for the dunk --> assist in full-court press/trap/force a timeout

* Absolutely, Towns is our guy. He gets such great position in the paint, and every shot he takes now is about a 2-footer when he's got the angle on his defender. You can't ask for any more out of your big man.

* You just knew The Mist would embarass themselves online once ESPN was flashing pics of the big foreigners parents. Shew. That was some low-hanging fruit. Biggest upset of the night was yours truly laying off the criticism.

* We have the ac on right now.

IU is gonna have to sit around with that stinking pile of rotting dead coach until July 1st, when his buyout drops from $12M+ to a more manageable $7.5M

Randy Whitman will crush it there. enjoy!

As if everyone in the country wasn't doing the exact thing. I give W. J. Wildcat a fair amount of grief, but not for this. Blame ESPN if you really need to.

Well, they completely messed up the Knight situation and then followed that up by F'ing up three straight hires so odds are they screw this one up again. Maybe they'll bring back Steve Alford. Would that shock anyone?

A large part of me wants to see Duke have to play Georgia just to see Okafor have to deal with that SOB. What a pain in the *** that dude has been for 4 years. The Montenegro Devon Downey.

Every time I watch an IU home game, I think of wood paneling and shag carpeting. The locker rooms are lit by lava lamp - they just have to be.

All of Bloomington feels like that. It's bizarre. Like you're in a period sitcom or something. God, F that place with a rusty *****.

* I think I'm one of the few people who's actually confused by Brad Stevens, and why him being an "NBA coach" seems like such a lock. I know the Celtics love him, and he's part of the long-term plan, but he's gone 48-91 in 2 seasons. Obviously, it's because the talent he's been given sucks. They have, like, 84 1st-round draft picks in the next few seasons, and I'm sure they're a viable landing spot for key free agents....but their front office HAS to hit on those moves, otherwise they'll just have to keep insisting they're lucky to have a head coach that has overachieved his way into a 30-win season despite the lack of any talent.

* Plus, they're in the same division as the 76ers. Good luck. /taken

Cracks me up. Compare Georgia to two teams who have blown out Duke:

Georgia:

BPI 28
KenPom 36

Miami:

BPI 51
KenPom 66

NC State:

BPI 40
KenPom 41

Half our games have basically been against Top 50/tournament teams.

We haven't played anyone tho. All the other schools play top 5 teams every night, so it's hard to get a feel on whether this team is actually any good.

*Love the emergence of Towns as our 'go-to- guy late. Not only is he a beast on the blocks, but he sees the double team well and has great vision for open kickouts and reversals. That will pay huge dividends when teams start forcing someone else to beat them. Also very comfy with him at the stripe. His stroke is dope..

*Andrew Harrison is putting it together and thankfully it's at the right time. He's attacking the rim with much more poise and those flailing kamikaze attacks aren't happening nearly as often. Still get a little nervous when he's ISO'd at the top of the key when everyone stands around and watches. But he's picking spots much better and helping make this thing go. No one has been harder on him than ol' Geese.

*The more I watch Lyles the more I think it would benefit him to stay another year. His defensive footwork on the perimeter is **** and he doesn't have the shooting range a limited athletically NBA 3 should have. Work on your body, jump some rope, take some dance, get up 1000 deep triples a day. #profit

*Good to see a little redass last night on GYERO. No one can flip that switch quicker than wildcatchad. What a hoot.

There are some great endzone photos from last night, actually. Stegeman was an awesome backdrop. That dark arena with the fluorescent lighting reflecting off the crowd is a throwback. I'd drop a couple here but pretty sure they'd stretch the page.

Surprised nobody has mentioned that our best players are getting 28-32 minutes these past few games.

Lyles has a very set range on that jumper. 16 feet or so.

And by "range" I don't even mean actually being able to make the shots....his shot literally doesn't work past that, and he struggles to even get the ball to the rim, you can just see/feel it. Kinda weird, actually...for a guy who's jumper looks so pure from midrange.

His FT stroke is pretty ugly as well.

Right now, StubHub has 2 seats, Floor Center 13, row AAA for $2606.16/each. Is it worth over $5,000 for any of you to sit front row for 31-0?

-Am I the only one that gets completely FURIOUS at the camera angles during games? I mean its to the point where Im screaming and wishing death upon the person in the truck switching cameras. What in the hell was that end zone shot last night on free throws from the UGA student section showing arm pits and the back of peoples heads?

Keep the goddam camera at half court ALL THE TIME. I dont want to feel like im laying on my stomach on the baseline trying to watch a game. And keep all the freaking stats and graphics off the screen while play is going on as well. **** drives me NUTS.

-KAT is the best big man Ive ever seen at Kentucky after Anthony Davis. Id take him over Cousins all/air. Its unreal how good he is.

Bryce Drew killing it at Valpo. Guessing he moves up after this year when the coaching dominoes fall.
