Swac Basketball - 1/31/2011





Overall, Jackson, Valley and TxSU are heads and toes ahead of the rest of the SWAC. I like what they might do in the Tournament. Just got thru watching Gram vs Valley on GSU tv in Valley is rockin.
 
Trant should be buying pettaway dinner..no way in hell he would have been in an aamu uniform and score only 4 points.....our true freshman guard put that d on him.
 
come on down with your 5 fans we got something for ya'll:emlaugh:

Looking at the game tonight on TV, ya'll were the ones with 5 fans. Remembering the other game they had on TV had 7 fans there, their regular 5 plus the 2 PV Alums that came over after our alumni meeting. :D

I'm just saying.......
 
freshman guard didn't hurt him..........A&M's length on defense was a problem and they got in his face and never let him get the looks he usually gets
 
Looks like Trant might wanna shake Pettaway's hand next time LMAO..Aight JSU men Lets finish the season off Strong and hopefully get healthy since we are on our third string PG (but we have a DEEP bench this year so I aint too worried). Lets keep Pressing teams and wearing them down Anderson since we have the Depth this year and offensive firepower and that Height. With the talent we got this year its ALL OR NOTHING (we will lose a lot) and thats Reg Season, Tourney Champs, and a Nice seed and hopefully win in the NCAA (yea hopefully). It plenty of ball left to play so Lets get it. O and JSU women just make the Tourney LMAO..at least smh

Just cant see it... knowing the style of defense AAMU runs Jeremy Crutcher is going to be sticking any point guard.... the 2 guard Hester doesnt play any defense .... cant see any 3s or 4s sticking Trant. So did he shake Pettaway hand after the game? lol....... I sure Hester was happy to play against him... they were inseperable at AAMU... I think they were roomates...Hester is the reason Trant started to get tatted up. Pettaway and Trant may not get along now... but Trants teamates talk about how the miss him all the time on facebook. Inman, Hester and Cantey were close with Trant.
 
Why did Trant Simpson leave AAMU in the first place?

I myself don't know specific details, but if I had to speculate, it would be due to clash of styles...If you know anything about Pettaway, he is definitely old school. He will call you out, put you on blast as a way of motivating you. Soon as you make a mistake on the court, he will take you out. The problem is, current breed of players like Trant don't respond positively to this style of coaching. I recently had a student that went to AAMU about 2 or 3 years ago. He pretty much told me you have to have thick skin to play for Pettaway these days...It is what it is...

The thing I dont understand is Pettaway let Trant do WHATEVER he wanted to do on the court.... Trant could shoot from half court and Pettaway wouldnt say NOTHING to him.... let anybody else miss a layup and they were coming out the game. When I first learned Trant was at PV.... I said on here he would never get the green light to do whatever he wanted with another coach like he did with Pettaway.

that wasnt it.... Pett aint never say nothing to Trant lol... Trant wasnt even enrolled in school.. he came to Pettaway a day after registration closed trying to get help enrolled in school.... by then it was too late.... Pettaway wanted him to just sit out the year and come back the next year.. next thing u know Trant was at PV.

AAMU bball players twitter pages had me rollin.... they were clowning Pettaway for Trant not shaking his hand. Im glad their pages are closed because if Pettaway knew how the players really felt about him, we may not have a scholarship player on the team this year lol Its a reason we have lost 17 players the past 3 years. We lost an entire recruiting class from last year... 7 freshmen and all of them transferred.
 
and beat Valley by 11 in Mississippi

It just wasn't at the Valley!!!!! That may have been the problem!!!!!! We haven't lost but 1 on the road so far!!!!! Let's keep winning Devils then we talk to the under classmen....

who cares where it was at..... it was on the road.... you will lose in Elmore Saturday.
 
they shook after....some hugged....it was cool

But our head coach went to A&M also and played for Pettaway so I can imagine the adrenalin rush both felt prior to tipoff
