Pat Birt
- Thread starter lawpoke87
- Start date
Here's the good part...Birt has D1 experience....he's playing at a top JUCO, playing in the tourney and he's playing verse top athletes...shouldn't be scared and should fill a need...shooter with quick and natural release...but yes, he has holes, we are not getting a duke transfer
Birt is a catch and shoot player. We need a guy that can catch-and-shoot, and also defend on the other end. Birt is athletic enough to play on both ends. Right now, the reason we aren't seeing kids that can shoot a little on our bench... Is because they can't guard NAIA players.
I coached Arlando Cook who is a freshmen and Connors State. He has grown a few more inches and is now around 6'-9" and is developing into a very good player. He will be a very good D1 player that could help Tulsa. I would be taking a look at him!
Birt looked good in first half. Leading scorer in game with 11 pts, 3-4 3-pointers. Tied for team lead with 4 rebounds. SP leads #1 Connors State by 9.
If he came in and shot 3-6 or 4-8 from 3 in the majority of games he came off the bench for us next year I's be really happy

spight never throws it to Birt. Birt stands and waits for a pass. JUCO attitudes are weird. Not much teamwork. 69-67 with 5 minutes to go. Birt still shooting blanks but keeps shooting.

South Plains lost the championship by 3 in OT . Birt hardly played any tonight and announcer said he didn't shoot but I haven't seen the stats. They did put him in for the last shot down three but he never touched the ball land someone else shot an off balance three.
Odd that he played 22-23 minutes in most games but less
Than 5 in both championship games.
There is tremendous shooting at this level but no defense whatsoever. I see how Nolan's press would have won it all in 1980.
Birt is still a real question mark at this point. Will he shoot better in D-1 games than Rep? Can he play defense? And will he play hard?
Hopefully yes to all three.

The box now says 0-4 from the field and 0-2 from three in 7 minutes of playing time. Not very impressive............. The thing that bothered me most in the tournament was his just standing around on offense and defense. The opposite of Shaq Harrison and Woodard. Maybe that will change. I don't think his teammates or his coaches will let him relax at TU.
