BOL Round Table

I was a little worried about this run without Green and Mitchell staggering the team into the SEC and NCAA tourneys, but if we can turn the momentum and win the next games we could def push that into the offseason! Now that Green is coming back and there is some closure on the situation for this year, the team can look forward and not behind them..Freshman are going to be the biggest key to keep the winning mentality and people can say what they want right now about this team, but as long as we are looking up and not backwards im not worried..I honestly think with Green back (knowing its his last chance) and the experience and tenacity our Freshman can/have shown before we could beat anybody in the country, but if we see that team we saw against USCe and some other games, anyone could beat us! Beating MSU could help us in the tournament and winning out could possibly put us up to a 7-8 seed

We do match up well with Duke - athletic teams give them fits - see Miami, Florida State, NCSU, etc. They have size but are somewhat soft and unathletic.

Since Duke lives and dies by the three, they are always beatable. Particularly against teams like us that are capable of playing good perimeter defense.

Zone defense isn't as easy as some of you making it out to be. You can't just "go zone" on a team. You have to know what you are doing or it will get busted up quickly.

Bama has as much chance of beating Duke as me playing them solo.
