Texas A&M -8 over South Carolina
- Thread starter FCB 2013 treble
- Start date
I just do not understand basketball well enough who to use in the lineup. When South Carolina played and WON at Georgetown this season, Coach Paris preferred to not use the law student and Gray as much and went with Ford Cooper instead. I do think Gray can been effective on the defensive side of the ball.
Obviously, I think what gives South Carolina a chance to win tonight if Meechie, GG Jackson, Brown and maybe Carter Jr. all score in double figures which means they will have to make three pointers.
Hoping not to jinx South Carolina this evening, but Texas A&M has only won once in Columbia since entering the SEC. Have to give Coach Martin credit for that.
74-29
Pathetic display..... two Saturdays in a row, separated by some miraculous choke by UK
Where’s all the Fire Martin crowd that didn’t accept mediocrity? We’re so damn far away from mediocre it’s not even funny
Maybe but I don’t remember the last time we got beat by 40 points in consecutive home games.
Probably never. I am sorry, but Paris needs to pick it up. We knew we would be outmatched in lots of games, but we have enough pieces to be competitive. Being beat by 40+ in 2 of 3 games is on the coaching. I could take gg, brown, gray, johnson, and either Wright or Carter and be competitive. We were getting manhandled tonight…..heck put Benson and Minot in to bang a little or something. Three guards with brown and verdonk is asking to get manhandled on the glass. So
play the freshman more if we are going to throw the towel in by halftime.
I am still trying to figure out what’s our offensive and defensive scheme
Me, either. Think of the amazing rise we are setting up.
Even with the blowouts the last two Saturdays, I have no regrets about Martin. I would rather know I’m bad for awhile than be teased. Every coach has a shelf life except for the Top 4-5 coaches that can pick their retirement date. Change is part of the business. South Carolina is one of the few programs that want to hang onto coaches for fear of not remaining mediocre.
Our offensive scheme is to have four guys pass it around the perimeter while one guy breaks to the free throw line. Try that few times until we somehow get an open look or the shot clock runs out.
Oh and forget a rebound as no one follows their shot.
Frank lost a lot of games that he could have won but chose not to. These games probably cost us tournament bids.
He'd still be here had he not done so. That crap grew old.

I’m not a fan of Clemsux but I think you all would have said the same thing about Brad Brownell prior to this season. It seems the Taters were rewarded for their patience.
This reminds me of when we burned it down after Dave Odom for Darrin Horn. I hope I’m wrong. Time will tell.

I find exteeme satisfaction knowing that we pulled one out of our A on them earlier this year and they are leading the ACC right now.
Lololol
……and we moved forward, got Frank Martin, got a Final Four out of it, only to hang onto him well after his expiration date had passed. Just like a team gets tired of hearing a coaches voice, a fanbase can get that way about a coach too. I can’t speak for everyone, but I think many would agree with me that they had grown weary of the Frank Martin experience. When that happens, it’s time for that coach to go even if he is a decent coach. I choose to move forward instead of look back every time the current team struggles. Guess what? If Coach Paris is only mediocre in Year 5, I will have similar opinions about him.

It is not fair to GG But he must be more agressive. He seems unable to compete with players his size. Am I wrong?
