Stansbury won this game aGAIN

If you only have so much fuel, be careful how you use it. Of course if we press early, it works, and we start with a big lead, do we have enough to hang on? We'll never know. Kind of a damned if you do thing. Think of all the bitchin if he did that and we ran out of gas at the end of the game.
One thing I wondered - JV looked flat first half...really picked it up the last 8 minutes or so....but not his best game. But 3-0 is NOT where I thought we'd be at this point - I will take it!

and doing what it takes to win. Stans did that.
And I don't think Georgia is as bad as their record indicates. They've been up at the half on every SEC team that they have played this year.

it is defensive pressure, and that alone that will keep you in a game. Varnado's blocks, Stewarts pressure and Bosts harrassing, and Phil's relentless ball hawking changed this game at the end.
I think uga is good now and has great potential, they were more talented than we were and were also well coached.

all you do is run down his coaching and act like he is an idiot. This depite the fact that all he does is win for us. Only an idiot would want to run off a coach like that.
Plus, Georgia's coach did nothing in that time span to adjust to the press. He had six minutes to do something, and he had nothing. So, either Stansbury outcoached Georgia's coach, or our guys were better prepared to play defense on the press, either is a credit to Stansbury. Georgia's coach just stood there with an "oh ****" look on his face.
Don't you realize yet that Stansbury should ALWAYS do whatever it is he didn't do when we lose and should have always done exactly what he did, but only sooner, when we win. Get it together man!

His inability to put 5 guys on the floor that can handle a zone defense almost lost it.</p>
Good adjustment with using the press he used to compensate for the perennial inability to attack a zone.

We don't have enough size to be a low post team. We have to shoot the three and when we don't, we struggle. But for all the crap you dumbasses post about, the rebounding in the first half and the lack of defense by Kodi and Ravern hurt us as much as anything. We made some pretty good adjustments at the half and stopped the back door cuts and Phil plays a hell of a lot better defense than Kodi does. Stans is playing the hand he has been dealt and nothing is going to change it. The 1 or 2% of dumbass fans who think we ought to be Duke or Carolina, or Kentucky , simply ought just go visit their sites. Auburn gave Money Bags Calipari and his players all they wanted today. Why not jump on his *** because he has probably the highest touted team and biggest payroll in America. Hell, Coaches favorite boy Kennedy blew the hell out of his game today at Tenn. The league is pretty doggone balanced and Ga has great size and it hurt us today, but we hurt them when it counted. We are 3-0 in the league and we ain't going to go undefeated but geez, do you guys ever get happy about anything? Must be a miserable life.

Georga had a much bigger (taller) presence than the dogs did yesterday. We may have been flat or tired or sickly or whatever, but they were obviosly dominating the paint and taking ost of the rebounds on both ends. The simple fact is we were very much outplayed in the first half. It would have been so easy to say, "Oh well, Looks like a (L) for us" and then shut down until next Saturday, but the Dogs didn't. They found a way to make two good runs and keep the team in the game. Then they pulled it out at the end.
In my opinion, For whateve you might otherwise say, the Dogs won the game. That's how I define winners.
I wish they had been hitting FTs. I wish they had been pulling in rebounds. I wish the shooting had been better. I won't remember any of those things in three weeks, only that they beat GA in the Hump. Hopefully I'll remember better that they beat AL in T-Town and whomever we play after our next game.
Hopefully whatever was wrong will be solved by next Saturday, since we still have lots of games left before the dance. There is one thing everyone here can now (should now) say. "The west comes through Starkville." I wish we'd also all start thinking that we can pull one out of the toilet and still win when we get down, becasue in fact, we showed that to be the case yesterday.
