this team all year. And it has turned out to be the case so far. With our depth at guard we have continued to be competitive in the sec in almost every game. Most games at least two out of our five have had games that let us compete. Hopefully going forward with more experience for our younger guys and the jelling that usually comes at some point in the season we'll get 3-4 playing well most nights.
It seemed to me vs USC that we finally made an effort to get the ball to our bigs on the low post. Asa, James and even RJ had some strong move in the paint. These are high % shots, often draw fouls and are easier for offensive boards. It also created openings for our 3 pt shooters as we made a very nice %. Hopefully Somto will get more opportunities as well as Absom, who will also create shots for other bigs and shooters. Please play him. Get a win tomorrow, against the odds, and we'll get a huge surge of confidence and momentum.
