Too much subbing for most of the game. Crazy lineups and no chemistry on the court. Manning is the polar opposite of Bobby Cremins. Must be using NBA minutes method.
Anybody else feel that Manning coaches differently based on quality of opponent. Rutgers was terrible in the first half, and we should have been up by 20 with halfway decent play. In these situations, he seems to be kind of lackadaisical. Rutgers had empty possession after empty possession and meanwhile we were jacking up crappy shots and playing some pretty awful combinations of players. He just let them play on. The result is that you let a team hang around and hit a couple of shots, the momentum swings and we are down 12 to Rutgers. I just don't sense urgency in these games vs crappy teams.
I think my strategy of being totally negative got us over the top. That said, Arkansas is going to pull our pants down Friday and have their way with us, Go Deacs!
None of these tags be mine but kudos for the apple one
Manning does the opposite of NBA rotational patterns
So we were down 12 late in the second half on the road and we come back to win? Sounds like a great thing for a young team still learning how to be winners. I'll take it.

I know this much: when it gets late in the game, I feel like we will pull it out. That is not a feeling that I have had in recent years. That bodes well considering how relatively inexperienced our team is.
the color commentator sounds like an idiot
