Give credit to Buzz: called the inbounds play to get the ball to Marcus with a full head of steam.
As long as I can take credit away for letting a single player nascar his way to the EXACT same long winding drive every single ****ing time, including to take the go ahead basket.

Buzz is just not a good X's and O's coach.

Just out talented teams to 8 NCAA appearances in 11 years and 3 sweet 16's and an elite 8 at Marquette and VT?

So he is an elite recruiter?

Decent recruiter, great team builder, great motivator. I was on the Buzz band wagon hoping we'd hire him when he was at VT. But I've just seen some really piss poor things way too consistently. We nearly got beat by a guy who only drives to the right and telegraphs his drive every single time. Defensive players should have been shading that side when he had the ball all night. Instead, we guard him like we're scared of him pulling up and shooting while leaving open the only player on their team who consistently shoots well. Mind boggling.

ACU guard gave us fits too, might be an issue - might have just been a hot night. He did have 24 points vs a ranked Memphis.

Forgot the game was on, saw the 50-35 score in 2H on the phone so turned the game on to watch the Ags win an SEC road game in commanding fashion. Could not believe the last 12 minutes of the game. Not sure how we ever built a lead as those last 12 minutes we had a ton of poor shots, bad shot selection, and lazy defense.

They finally started playing some hustle defense with 4-5 minutes left and that also helped the offense as it normally does.

Thought it was a certain L but what a W.and clutch last shot. I am old school and don't understand going for a long distance and lower % 3 when down 1 in that situation but that is how the game is played now I guess.

All conference wins are good, especially on the road.

Hoping this team can be on the bubble, at least make the NIT.

Thanks *******. When I googled it nothing was popping up yet, and ESPN didn't have anything. Appreciate the link however.

I don't see anything special in terms of "Kevin". Looked to me they just inbounded to Marcus and he dribbled down the court and nailed the open three. Georgia lost a major opportunity by not picking him up in the backcourt and not really pressuring the final shot either. It was more of a failure by Georgia than anything the Ags did beyond hitting the clutch shot. I get that they didn't want to foul him but some token pressure in the backcourt would have slowed him down and made him rush his shot or his pass more than zero pressure

Georgia has some talented guys but they haven't played together much kind of like us. Kudos to Buzz for pulling it together faster than Crean. Crean seems like he shoots himself in the foot pretty regularly.

It looked like in the 2nd half we stopped playing the same aggressive defense that had built our lead. This team is gonna be a frustrating one to watch throughout this season. May win some games we shouldn't. May lose games we shouldn't.

Came darned close to losing one they shouldn't last night. Having said that … doesn't matter. 1-0.

We did specifically set up a screen to allow him to catch the ball moving full speed towards the basket, and players were spaced to allow him to create his shot.
Nothing ground breaking, but teams botch that all the time

I actually think the team is doing pretty well. Sitting at 12-2 with a team that is in essentially year 1 playing together, and 90% of them playing for Buzz for the first time.

I think he's building for the future pretty well at this point.

Fair enough . If I'm Georgia though I would have not pressured the inbounds pass at all. Pick up the guy the ball is inbounded to at 3/4 court and at least make him waste some precious seconds getting the ball to scoring position.

Ags did a great job of taking what they were given

Will be interesting to see what we do in games where we are less hot from 3, we shot 47.8%

Sorry, it looks jerky even to me this morning but I know when I posted it I was just giddy and ribbing you. Including the link wasn't enough to convey that I guess, I should have used the winky emoticon (although I really don't like using emoticons it is helpful).

But I solely rely on Google, search "Texas A&M Georgia highlights" and then filter on posted in last hour or last 24 hours. If

Exactly. It may have seemed like we just threw the ball into a guy who sprinted up the court and hit a shot. But he was set up by a screen and with forward momentum. Not saying it was brilliant, but it was designed and it got him in position to hit the winning shot and not just heave up a hail mary.

When a defender is on his heels, don't take one more dribble into him, allow him to recover, or allow a help defender to come over. Normally you push until you get cut off, but in this case he pulled up where he had an open shot or could still make one pass. If he takes another dribble, the option to pass goes away and you risk taking a contested mid-range shot. Remember he's counting dribbles, not seconds. Three dribbles equals 3 seconds, plus one second for the shot.

Tyus Edney got an amazing 6 dribbles in 4.8 seconds, down 1, in 1995 against Mizzou. However, his shot at the buzzer went over a 6'9" defender and was probably harder than the shot Williams made.

94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough
