Is 82 to 93 what i heard. What defense must have been played in that game.

GSAC Killer · November 26, 2006, 08:40:10 PM

from the looks of the scores this weekend, NO DEFENSE!!!! 88 and 92.. Not good especially from teams like Emory and Ogelthorpe..
Coach L will get them going but they are going to need a 4th and 5th person to step up on a consistent basis... The Killer B's of Bo,Bobby, and Bradley will be fine but where is the other help?

We got outrebounded by a guard oriented team in Emory... I know that is what concrens Coach L the most...

Will see Wednesday.. Well Coacheteam coming in...
Hey Spencer Beaty how are the Rebels doing on the hardwood?? Baby Lambert?

Spencer Beaty · November 26, 2006, 10:21:45 PM

Baby Lambert Dropped 20 against Mcminn Central. The Rebels are looking pretty good. Big game with Farragut on tuesday.

GSAC Killer · November 27, 2006, 09:50:40 AM

Baby Lamberto needs to just play.. He has the skills, he just needs to let it out!!! He has it in him to do big things at MHS...

Keep up the work Baby Lamberto!!

Baby Lambert is currently the top D3 junior prospect in the country an inside source told me he has already verbally committed to the scots

Spencer Beaty · November 27, 2006, 06:31:25 PM

Yeah I should say so. Back in the day when his friends were as tall as he was like d. large he wasnt as good.

mattgrubb · November 28, 2006, 08:54:43 PM

Wes has always been the man, D. Large had nothing on Wes, except a golf swing

Otterbein tomorrow night, could be interesting, good hard nose Ohio bball coming down to boydson baird, i will give otterbein credit, they are the only team that has gotten a national spotlight over the past 5 years that will come to maryville, things change when you get into the mountains

And do you all remember just how good Jeff Gibbs was, i will say this for those boys from otterbein, maryville is a much prettier place than columbus, enjoy the view and the weather

By the way jeff Gibbs best 6´2 big man I have ever seen!! We have played together that past two summers on a Pro-Am team and I tell you what and he is the real deal.. Big game today for the Scots. 3-1 sounds a whole heck of a lot better than 2-2..

Well a lot of celebrities will be in attendance¨Brent "Big Money Watts" Dee " The Best Woman´s Coach Ever" Bell, Josh " I dunked on everyone in the GSAC" Tummel, and Spencer " The Animal" Beaty....

From talking to Randy last night, he said they choked against Emory. They had a 6 point lead late in the second half and couldn't get a defensive stop. I blame the lack of leaders on the team. Bo doesnt seem like he can lead a team to me. His demeanor just isnt that way. Bobby or someone needs to take Chaneys role for this team.

I saw a few more...Bill Padgett (wasn't he a leading scorer? I know he is on the Wall of Fame) and Raul "the most amazing point guard with overdrive" Placeres!

!You need a special EFFFORT

! TO REBOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have some FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop your man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trademarks of a Fighting Scot... I was only there for a half and the defense was pretty dang good but against a team who was very limited offensively.. We just don't have that SWAGGER!!!
I don't know but I just feel they don't play with the hunger and urgency of the coaching staff...

Choked.

I didn't see the game, so I'm not commenting on this game in particular.

But, generally speaking, I have to say that "choked" is a terrible and often misused term in sports ... right up there with "moral victory". Maybe Emory just staged an inspired comeback? I know they are a gritty, talented team.

As I said, I didn't see this game ... but generally speaking, I think it is preferrable to give credit to your opponent ... as opposed to dissing your own team.

Just my opinion ...

I'm not going to use that "M V" term I just said I don't like. But ... I saw a lot to like from my Lions against a quick, tall, and talented team of scholarship athletes Tuesday night. We actually had a shot to win or tie at the end. We got the ball inside in the final seconds only to have it stripped away. They then scored on a run out for the final 4 point margin.

The Scots need a point guard so Bo can score and someone besides Bo who can score from outside 12 feet. Defensive intensity semed good but can't say the same for rebounding. Young Laverdiere looked like he might make a point guard for this team. What is up with Orr? Any shooters on this team???

You young Scots would have appreciated Padgett's game!

Yeah, may we never forget about those who made the Scots the Fighting Scots! After all, years from we still want to remember how great our recent Scots were even though there are young whippersnappers out there carrying on the tradition!

I've seen them play twice and both times there wasn't enough rebounding going on. Not sure where they are after that ball hits the rim?
Jared Laverdiere definitely gives it 110% when he's out there. I'm hoping he'll keep up the hard work and fill some big shoes.
I think it is going to be a tougher year than I thought.
