Georgia state leads app by 9 at the half. They are burying 3s.

App and GST coming down to the wire.

Looks like it’s a 2014 championship rematch.

It’s Georgia State, 71-66 over App.

Panther Talk board should be amusing and pompous.

Pretty quiet so far. They just “love” Marlin. Still salty 8 years later.

That would just be a bonus UL pulls this off. That would be a meltdown.

Cajuns win 66-57!!!

Really gutty win. A fun game to watch, only thing taking away from that were the whistle happy Sunbelt zebras on both ends. They call every ticky tack foul the whole game, and then let Troy hack away at the end. Wesley was body blocked and no call.

Here is a little preview of what to watch for tomorrow night. Guard Corey Allen (No. 11) is the best player for the Panthers. Tonight he had 29 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and ZERO turnovers in the win over App. In that 29 point total were 6 three point baskets. We held his scoring down in their win against us in Atlanta. However he did force a few turnovers late in that game when we struggled with their pressure. Maybe Allen is due not to be as hot tomorrow. How our guards handle their pressure on the ball will once again be a key in the game. Every team has tried that tactic against us this season due to our small point guards. They have to dribble more than many of us would like but that is due to the fact they are not tall enough to often pass it over the defense. That has contributed to our high turnover total for most of the year. Also, the experience and quickness of the Panthers makes them more effective with trapping the ball handler than most SBC teams. Obviously we need to shoot a decent percentage if we beat their traps and get good looks. Basketball is a make or miss game these days. We have played well the last 3 games but I think we need to shoot it a little better than the last 2 days to pull out the win tomorrow night.

In my opinion it was trying to slot Williams into the PG role at the beginning season which just didn’t work. Once they moved on he never really found a spot in the rotation that worked until Julian’s injury. He has been playing very well since the moment Kobe went down in the Ga State game. As much as I hate the injury for Kobe, Willams has found his role at the right time and has really been the difference.
