Mean Vs. Arkansas State

[chrisfisher]

Predictions for today's game anyone?

My prediction: this season we have played with a fury following a tough loss. Look for Calvin Watson and Sturns to have huge games. Also, we appear to have a height advantage so look for either (or both) Quincy and Wooden to score some decent points.

sorry for the typo.. I just realized I put "Mean" in the header, rather than "Mean Green."

I think we will get the W. We have responded after losses. I think the guys will be highly motiviated to play a good game. I'm telling you...we'll be 14-4 and everyone in Mean Green land will be smiling and bragging about the squad again by next Saturday.

You may be correct... we haven't lost 2 games in a row all season.

We starting off a bit slow and with poor shooting.

But so is ASU. Sloooow game though. Maybe things will pick up?

[MeanGreenBuzz]

We are not looking good again today. Seems the way we finished last night is carrying over. KDs performance is good though.

Something wrong w/ Wooden ? I just noticed he wasn't n the starting lineup.

Sorry , just got home and can't get the game on radio.

[GangGreen]

This is ugly. What is Ruffin doing in there?

[chrisfisher]

For some reason he has been starting Howerton??? For some reason, Ruffin and Mangrum are getting a bunch of minutes. I am confused with Jones' strategy today. It doesn't look like our big time shooters are playing together. They basically each take the first open shot they get.

[GangGreen]

I was hoping we wouldn't fall apart this season. I guess I was wrong again.

[risinggreen]

Man, easily the worst game of the year. No one but KD is doing anything. Watson and Wooden sound particularly inept.

[GrandGreen]

Getting slaughtered by a bad team. Lets hope for a quick recovery but it looks like JJ's has again lost the team in conference play.

[GangGreen]

Is Stewart out for the rest of the season? Not trying to say he would change the outcome of this POS game, but just wondering.

Wondering the same thing. Sounds like we have zero inside presence today. If this continues more than a few minutes, I say we give Howerton, Mangrum, and Edwards some practice time.

[chrisfisher]

I'm watching video but it isn't super clear. I want to know how they can have 4 or 5 blocks in a row with no contact and fouls?? If our big guys even raise their hands up while the other person is shooting, they get hit with a foul.

[GangGreen]

I want to know why we can't get back on defense and why we keep turning the ball over. Shouldn't try to full court press some? We are down by nearly 20.

[chrisfisher]

I don't see a coherent offensive attack. We throw it around the perimeter until the first person who is open takes their shot and misses.

[risinggreen]

We don't even sound like we are trying. Maybe if I leave we'll have better luck. I doubt it. Outahere.

That's been a big problem for the JJ teams. No ball movement, no movement without the ball, each player trying to do it all. Street ball at its best.

Okay...I am not nearly as optimistic as on my previous posts. In a recent post, I said "everyone stop freakin' out".... Well, I am freakin' out. What the hell is going on! We have way too much talent for this kind of play! This is pathetic...our worst performance of the year.

Anybody that was surprised by this isn't paying attention.

Yep, I am getting the same way. JJs teams get up for OOC games but underachieve in conference. I hope they can turn it around quick or it will be another quick exit from the tourney.

[CMJ]

I'm not shocked that we lost. I'm surprised by the way we got manhadled.

[UNTFan23]

Considering who we've beaten in OOC, are we really underachieving?
