How big

[KurtRambis4]

was Datcher's missed dunk that was essentially a 7 point swing?

 

[stateu1]

Not as big as the 17ing we got from that ref.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I don't know.

That sequence doesn't happen, and there is no OT.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

It was big. But you could say if we didn’t play such **** defense the first half, we win by double digits.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah they figured

out our double, that we implemented against them in our last meeting (to prep for USC).

In that game, they weren't making the third pass, and when they were, they missed.

Today, they made that pass AND hit the shot.

Credit to Ben for putting that in, weeks ago, and changing it in the second half (and the press).

I see that stuff and laugh when people post "Ben doesn't know x's & o's1!"

Does Lamar not understand that fouling a 3 point shooter will burn you EVERY SINGLE TIME? Why do we keep haveing to revisit this?

When we went up by 4 in OT, we lost all composure and momentum. A lot of that was on the refs but we sure didn't help ourselves.


I wish we would have played with the intensity we had in the last two minutes, for at least a half. We would have won going away. They only scored like 10 points in the final 10 minutes of game time.
And yes, Datcher's miss cost us 5 points.


This ***** going to give me a heart attack

I didn't see it but am not surprised Datcher missed a dunk and cost us dearly. That guy's gotta go in the off-season. He's completely a liability for this team.

Not sure we can afford to give up bodies underneath. If someone has to be processed, looking like Eli will be the odd man out. Between Stapleton and Carter, we can make up his offensive production pretty easily. Datcher plays the banger. We need bangers if we are going to compete with teams that have 4/5 stars coming off the bench. Basically, Datchers 5 fouls a game will benefit us more next year than Eli's 5 points average.

but what the hell do I know

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Datxher really is nothing more than a body to give Holman, X, and ado a few mins rest. He’s terrible.

Even tho he’s just a 3* from Alabama, he might be a bust.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Exactly. We need

him to just basically be a big presence down low on D.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

Shirley, we could replace him with someone who gives us even an ounce of value. There's bound to be a juco big interested in joining a team that should be tourney bound next season.

 

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

Or a grad transfer. I also think we could just rotate Holman, Ado, and Perry next season. Let Perry play the 5 at times with X or Woodard at the 4.

Yes. Anything.

It’s one thing to have a guy to foul...if we had one more guy that was decent in the post, datxher would be ok.

But at the moment, we aren’t deep enough to just have a body not participating.

It’s never a popular thing to bad talk one of our own, but I agree with you. Having a big man with a limited offensive skill set is one thing, but there is not one thing that Datcher does well. It’s worse than 4 on 5 when he’s in the game. It’s actually more like 3.5 on 5 because he’s not just wasted space. He hurts the team

There simply has to be someone out there that could add something of value down low. Hustle, rebounding, something... Datcher does none of that
