Give Ole Miss credit. They came to play. It would’ve been too easy for the Rebs to fold up their tents and head home after falling behind before they even got started at 16-2. Thier PG, Chris Warren, is a true leader. I knew he was supposed to be good, but never seen him play until today. Is there a better Freshman PG in the country than this kid? If there is, I haven’t seen him. If Courtney Fortson is even close to matching this kid, then the Hogs will have something special in the years to come. I watched the Vols play LSU today. They’ll be a tough team to beat on the road with thier relentless defense. I think the Hogs a capable, but they’ll have to bring it for 40 minutes to pull off that one. The Vols live and die with tenacious defense, but I’ve seen the Hogs have thier moments. If you could take the first 6:00 minutes of today’s ball game and bottle it up for 40:00 minutes, you would literally have a Final 4 team on your hands. I like the progress of this club. Stay with it guys, your doing great! GO HOGS GO!!!!! BEAT TENNESSEE!!!!!
The shot selection yesterday was the worst in a month. The Hogs just cannot get it in their heads that the 3-point shot is not the answer. It is almost like cocaine for these guys, they are addicted to jacking up threes unnecessarily. The good news is that they have bought into JP’s defense and coach will surely get them to work the offense better in the future. These Hogs need to shoot no more than 12 threes a game. Next year with Fortson and Clarke it could be different, but that is next year.
Well, Jerryd Bayless and Derrick Rose are 2 freshmen PGs that are going to be lottery picks next year.
The question was whether there is a better pg not one who is more hyped or has more pro potential down the road. Something to do with Warren’s age makes him inelgible for the draft next yaer.
And anonymous, come on. If you’re going to come on here with smart quips then have the stones to attach some sort of name to it,
