This team has come a long way...

[Philly Dawg]

...they deserve a lot of credit for their improvement over the course of the season.

Peters getting it together has made us better.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

True. They have finally bought into driving and passing on offense.

 

[Philly Dawg]

Peters has stepped up at the point, but all of our guards have improved in this regard. Even Carter is taking the ball to the basket.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Ado has also become an offensive threat. And he's started making free throws.

That is solid coaching.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Did you mean Ado? If so, yep, he's my new favorite bulldog

Peters getting it together has made us better.

We won tonight with Peters stat line looking like this:

1-6 FG
2 pts
3 assists
2 TO
0 steals
0 blocks
3 fouls (including one really dumbass one at the end)

I don’t know how much of it is Peters. The offense as a whole has been better.

 

[Philly Dawg]

Peters made the difference against Mizzou and Nick picked up the slack tonight.

Scoring 81 points in Columbia for anyone is a good accomplishment- considering where we we offensively 2-3 weeks ago, it’s amazing. We are making a concerted effort to take the ball to the hole, then working out from here. It has made all the difference.

Just got to keep it up and play like this consistently, which has been our downfall. The SEC is a dog fight this year, and we could beat (or get beat by) anyone on a given night.

I’ll say this about Ado - no one can ever say he doesn’t play hard. The games I’ve been to, he goes all out getting up and down the court & playing D.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

I believe that was our first road win of the season, correct? And we've only lost one at home (Auburn).

 

[57stratdawg]

First road W in a year according to Howland

 

[KurtRambis4]

The difference is

we are not shooting a ridiculous amount of 3's and finally doing what I thought we'd do the whole time, drive and dish.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Yep. I fixed it thanks

I’ll say this about Ado - no one can ever say he doesn’t play hard. The games I’ve been to, he goes all out getting up and down the court & playing D.

You can say a lot more about him tonight - he's the main reason we won this game. 16 points, 4 blocks, 5 offensive rebounds, and made 4 of 5 free throws.

Needs to put on a little more muscle and learn to be aggressive blocking shots without fouling as much, but if he continues at this rate he'll be one of the best bigs we've ever had by the time he leaves.

 

[57stratdawg]

The threat of Peters is causing problems for teams. He’s able to get by guys on the perimeter. Plus, he gives the Weatherspoons better matchups defensively.

I think he’s started 3 straight. We’ve scored 65 (@ Rupp), 74 and now 81. That’s quite an improvement from where we were a few weeks ago.

 

[ShrubDog]

Last night is how we should look every night win or lose. Solid team game and a good win.

Peters getting it together has made us better.

Winning an SEC 'Away' game has to give this team a huge confidence bump! Peters had a great game against Mizzzou; not so good against USCe; Holman got into early foul trouble; BUT Ado clearly stepped up and had his 'best' game of the year. Locker room video even shows Howland 'stepping up' his game!
