Slow your roll on the outcoached comments...

...both teams played similarly. Did Kermit “coach” his 8 points per game guy to make 6-7 threes?

Did we “coach” our guys not to guard him?

 

[Cow College]

Well we certainly were not out talented. Swap rosters and we definately lose

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Almost every 3 Ole Miss has was wide open.

 

[Philly Dawg]

We had just as many open opportunities and simply didn’t make as many.

 

[tatedog]

If Davis didn't out coach Howland today, God help us when he does.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Don’t try to spin it. We aren’t very good, our non-conference schedule is not nearly as good as we thought. This team has the same problems and holes as the last 3 years.

Look at what Kermit is doing with his team his first year, and what Howland did with a senior laden team his first year.

Dudes a bum. I’m over him.

Yeah, I agree. I hear all these fans with Kermit this, Kermit that, but the fact of the matter is they made 3’s and we didn’t. Ole Miss’ luck will slow down as the season goes. Still an inexcusable loss.

Hmmm....better late than never I guess

Go ahead, start a thread and tell everyone “I told you so”.

If you think that’s all they did then you need stop having takes on basketball games.
- they run ACTUAL sets, not this top of the key weave BS
- they move their feet on D and are in position. That’s why we always get called for ticky tack fouls and our fans blame the refs
- they switch up Ds (like stans used to do with 1-3-1 with Brandon Vincent). Announcers made a point of mentioning this and it helped them cut our lead from 11 to them on top
- and their 3s they made were due to their offensive sets on the dribble drive and screens/rolls after our guys over pursued and/or were in bad position on D and couldn’t recover fast enough

I’m not saying Kermit didn’t outcoach Howland, it’s that some of our fans are acting like he is fricking Coach K. I mean he’s Kermit Davis.

Thank you! I see a lot of people on this board with zero basketball knowledge that thinks it’s just a matter of hitting threes

On the bright side, AK also won his first game in the Hump and it only took us 10 years to get rid of him.**

I mean, they did have a dude averaging 8 points hit what? 5-6 three’s and scre 26. That’s not coaching. That’s a player having one of those days that come around once a year and it came for him today. Again, I’m not arguing that Kermit’s not better than Howland. That’s pretty evident. Ole Miss has had a lot of things go right this year. It’ll equal out for them.

 

[civildawg88]

Well you run a defense to stop the guy hitting threes. It’s not rocket science.

 

[ToxicTimberDawg]

Agree with this take...

Our offense is freelance. I’m other words, just get out there and play. That’s why we struggle offensively unless we are hitting a boatload of 3s. So, yes, Ole Miss made more 3s. The point is if we ran offensive sets or any type of motion , we wouldn’t have to depend on 3s... and no basketball team should depend so heavily on the least makeable shot.

Kermit did not inherit near the dumpster fire that Howland did. Not even close

What does that have to do with anything today? Kermit didn’t inherit Duke’s roster either. They were projected to finish 13-14th by everyone. Year 4 for Howland should easily be greater than year 1 of Kermit.

 

[hatfieldms]

I am just saying you cannot compete year 1 form the two coaches like most want to. Ole Miss played well today. It is what it is.

And don’t give me this nonsense about where they were picked. We see in. Every sport that most of these preseason predictions are usually God awful
