I thought this was the team that could do it, but they are not there yet. These are the OOC games we have to win, if we want a better seed in March Maddness.

they can do it. still a team getting to know itself with 13 new players. they need all their guys to step it up. lott did what he had to tonight but hayles.... 1-12 shooting. as a team 3-9 from the free throw line and have only shot 2 free throws in the 2nd half says they allowed that auburn zone to make them settle for jumpers instead of being aggressive and getting to the rim.

next shot at a win will be miami. last time they went down there they beat miami... of course that was b/f miami joined the acc.
 
This game was a gift that they turned away. They are not mentally strong. The schedule is perfect mixture of winnable games and money games prior to the SWAC schedule. Like I said before the OOC play tells me alot.

(7) Tennessee 89, Prairie View A&M 75


November 16, 2007

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tyler Smith scored 15 points and Chris Lofton added 14 as No. 7 Tennessee beat Prairie View A&M 89-75 in the second round of the StubHub Legends Classic tournament.

Ramar Smith added 10 points for Tennessee, which advanced to the semifinals against West Virginia on Nov. 23.

The Vols are now 32-4 under third-year coach Bruce Pearl when scoring more than 80 points and have won 19 straight at home.

Aaron Smith led the Panthers with 21 points, hitting 5-of-9 from 3-point range.

Tennessee looked out of sync in the first half, trailing by as many as six points and being outhustled by a taller Prairie View squad. The Volunteers shot just 33 percent from the field to the Panthers' 48 percent, leading to a 36-35 A&M advantage.

The Volunteers (3-0) opened the second half with a 19-7 run to take a 54-43 lead after 6 minutes. After Prairie View pulled within seven at 60-53, Tennessee went on a 18-10 spurt to put the game out of reach.

Brian Ezeh scored 15 points and Derek Johnson 10 for Prairie View (1-2). Johnny Cobb contributed nine points and 10 rebounds for the Panthers. A&M, which outrebounded Tennessee 48-43, was hurt by 30 turnovers, which led to 32 points for the Vols.

Auburn's Lebo change to the zone was the different in the game. He slowed the game down and packed the lane. Bama State went cold after the defensive change and that was the different in the game. A very enjoyable game. The Hornets are going to be an exciting team to watch.

Yeah that and the pick and role was creating problems for us on defense. Sanders needs to start/play more than Hayles. Lott is a beast off the bench. The depth that this team has is scary.
 
You're right BandFan the SWAC is looking up in B-Ball considering their are hardly any veteran teams in the conference.
 
Missouri coasts by Southern

Southern scored the first field goal against Missouri on Friday night.

That would be the Jaguars? last lead, as Missouri cruised to a 95-50 victory.

The Tigers (3-0) went on a 17-6 run after SU (1-2) scored first. Meanwhile, Southern didn?t break into double-figures ? as a team ? until the six-minute mark in the first half.

Southern coach Rob Spivery said his team didn?t show any effort against Missouri and its style of full-court pressure.

?The difference in the ballgame tonight is that we didn?t compete,? Spivery said. ?We just did not play with the effort, and we played fearful. I thought we played scared.?

The Jaguars had opportunities to make the game competitive, but continually failed to capitalize on any small chance for momentum.

With nine minutes remaining in the first half, Southern?s Chike Ekweozor swatted a Jason Horton jump shot, giving the Jaguars a fast-break opportunity. Chris Davis missed a 3-pointer in transition, and Horton quickly responded by draining his own 25-footer.

Five minutes later, Barry Honore blocked Stefhon Hannah?s floater along the baseline. The Jaguars, once again, were unable to capitalize. A turnover gave the ball right back to Missouri, and Keon Lawrence drove to the basket virtually untouched to give the Tigers a 28-point lead.

Missouri finished the game with five players scoring in double-figures.

With 12 points, Davis was the only Jaguar scoring more than ten points. But Davis also led SU with seven turnovers.

?We had to minimize our turnovers,? Spivery said. ?We had to handle their pressure and execute in the half court, where we could work to get good shots.?

Spivery said his team came in aware of the full-court pressure Missouri coach Mike Anderson instigates, but didn?t practice any differently for it during the week.

McNeese Lady Cowgirls 16
Half

:eek:

I don't want to know what our score is against Ohio State girls. They have nothing and I bet that Tenn or UNC would blow them out. Hell, the Rutgers would.
 
After looking at the stats Jantel and Marscilla combined for 27 d@mn points. :tup: We could have dropped 50 or more points on these girls but yet we take dumb ignorant azz shots. 15-54 from the court. :smh:
