Robert Brown. Is. Not . On. The . Court.
Dirk Williams was thought to slide right into that spot left by Brown and so far he has not done so. He has lost his starting spot. Last year, Lee lost his starting spot and responded well off the bench. D. Williams has not done that as of yet, although two games may be too early to make that assessment.
But his play this year is light years away from his play last year.

Wtf are you guys talking about? Dirk Williams play is light years away from his play last year? I hope you mean in a negative way.. shooting 5-6% worse from three and from the field overall and only scoring 2 points more per game in 10 more minutes played per game. That's not light years away.

Nobody hates Hak, some just see he's limited when it comes to offense and at times you should sub O for D and vice versa in tight games. I mean he didnt get over the ten second line lmao thats a freshman mistake.
I actually think Darling could produce the same statline if he got the same minutes.
And everybody wont see it the same way whether you stay away from the board or b&m about the b&m sunshine pumpers.
That was a bogus call. Refs blew the whistle while the shot clock still said 20. For you to violate the 10 second call, the shot clock should have said 19.
Nope. Count it on your fingers...
30 to 29 - 1 second
29 to 28 - 2 seconds
28 to 27 - 3 seconds
27 to 26 - 4 seconds
26 to 25 - 5 seconds
25 to 24 - 6 seconds
24 to 23 - 7 seconds
23 to 22 - 8 seconds
22 to 21 - 9 seconds
21 to 20 - 10 seconds.
The rule states:
Quote: Once the 10-second count begins, an inbounds player (and his team) shall not be in continuous control of a ball that is in his backcourt for 10 consecutive seconds.
10 consecutive seconds, not over 10 seconds, so the violation occurs when the shot clock hits 20.
Yep.

RE: Memphis game thread
Any objective person would say hak played well today. Probably his best game of the season.
That being said, he's a role player. He's a defender and a back up guard. He should not be playing some of the highest minutes on the team. He should be subbed in and out as the game dictates and as needed for defense. He's very limited offensively. I'd more easily put up with the turnovers and missed shots if they were from an offensive player

RE: Memphis game thread
I know we are all disappointed with the way UAB has performed at this point in the season.
But I do think we will get our act together and play much better after the New Year.
This team is quite similar to the 2014-15 Blazer squad. Everyone on the team is struggling at times.
Offensively, the guards are not able to score the ball consistently. The inside guys are not meshing with the guards and there are a lot of bad passes. The bigs sometimes just won't pass the ball back out to the guards and are forcing bad shots or traveling.
But I do feel that most of these issues can be corrected. We are playing a lot of new combinations. Everyone has played fairly well at times. Most of all, I am excited about the progress of Javien Williams in the last few games.
I do give Memphis credit for making adjustments in the last 10 minutes. They extended pressure and UAB just couldn't get good shots. UAB needed to move the ball inside and kick it back out for open 3's. That led to Lawson just totally dominating defensively and his offensive game just took over too.
UAB coaches must step up. This team will get trapped over and over. Got to go back to the drawing board with mini boot camp during holidays.
UAB can be very good but only if they share the ball, defend for 40 minutes, and everyone take the open shot.
I'm disappointed right now, but no way am I giving up on this talented team.

Yep.
Say the clock should read 19 would be like saying the game clock has to pass 0 to read -1 (or -0.99) before the game ends. It is a violation at 20.

No it's not. The game clock has tenth of seconds on it, so when the seconds number, the number to the left of the decimal, hits zero, there are still tenths of a second left on the clock before hits 0.00. I was thinking that since the shot clock does not have tenths of seconds on it, it would have to read 19 before the full 10 seconds are up.
I accept blazer Jay's rule explanation, but in reality, if you account for tenthS of seconds, there would still be a fraction of time left when the clock hit 20

Seemed like the official was overly ready to call 10 seconds whereas for the other team he wasn't as ready.

Exactly.
"D. Williams has not done that as of yet, although two games may be too early to make that assessment.
But his play this year is light years away from his play last year."
He starts by insinuating he's not playing as well, then says BUT his play is light years away from last year. When you transition from a negative statement with a transition like BUT, it could be interpreted in different ways. You normally don't start saying something negative, then transition to another negative statement with but. Using but there makes it seems like he's trying to say something positive.

Baxter clearly was the worst player in the floor.
Baxter didnt lose yesterday's game. In fact, it was probably his best game of the year.

I would agree with this. Baxter isn't as bad as people make him out to be IMO, but he's no more than a 10-12 minutes a game role player on a good team. I think Lavendar actually had the worst game on our side yesterday. 0 points, 4 fouls, & only 2 assists as the starting point guard in 27 minutes.
The offensive play from our guards is tremendously lacking. Makes it easy on the defense if they only have to worry about 1 or 2 guys on the court scoring.
