A lot more two post, high low flash tonight. Do I love it? No. But at least it’s an identity we can go to when in flux.

Kaluma wanted Shed to cut but he couldn’t get by his man.

I am the furthest thing from a Shed/Onyema fan. Kaluma is awesome.

I've ragged on Shedrick and Kent for several games, and deservedly so, but they have functioned tonight on a night in which Johnson, Mark, and Pope have done diddly-squat.  I don't know if we will pull this game out, but kudos to the guys who haven't been showing up for showing up tonight.

His seal on hi-lo is so piss poor it’s not even worth commenting on. 

[tylerlindsey2111]

Great defensive possession by big to big switching and by Tre Johnson. Board given up by Larry, but his effort was undeniable. 

[Blackshan]

Hope they finish strong with this defense. Some more points would help too. 

[Jordan91]

Massive board by Kaluma

[bierce]

You know, Shedrick screened for both Larry and Johnson on that play.  Johnson didn't hit the three, and Kaluma cleaned it up, but it was far from a bad offensive play.

[HardcoreHorn]

F*cking man rebound and put back 

[tylerlindsey2111]

There we go, RT!!!! ATO, huge possession; horns set, zoom action, reject into pick and roll, down screen for a wide open three for your lottery guy. Who cares it didn’t go in; where is that all the time?!

[Jordan91]

Shed is everywhere 

[bierce]

Johnson in it's all on me mode saved by Shedrick being shoved out of bounds on the other end.

[HardcoreHorn]

Stupid stupid pass by kaluma, hell of a bail out catch by shed

The reject, the throw and go off the horns set. All of that is great read teaching/false motion window dressing. Why can’t we get those type of quick creates all the time?

Tre is gonna be a better pro IMO. However, he is so overrated as a college player. 
 

He will Make Incredible plays but will also play losing basketball. His talent is unreal and I hope we can have a successful season with him

And Johnson with the drive gets it to fall.

SEC has figured him out. He has to take that next step. 

[Jordan91]

Thank you Tre.

Agree. His type of player is why Scott Drew has struggled lately 

[tylerlindsey2111]

That’s a good win.

College basketball is a 21-23 year old’s game right now. Tre isn’t this team’s issue, neither is talent for most part. Execution, buy in, consistency, front court presence/depth. Don’t allow yourselves to get caught up on small size or be prisoners of the moment. Tre is awesome, and this team has plenty of older firepower on the whole to be a solid team. 

[Jordan91]

Huge must win game.
