Same thing every game..Stokes spent the game sandwiched between to defenders which made it impossible for him to create or get a clean shot off..There must be a way to combat this but Martin hasn't figured one out..We had some success pulling Stokes a few feet away from the basket on double teams and dumping the ball to cutters on the baseline but CCM in his infinite wisdom doesn't work on that enough..It's a sure 2 points by Hall or McRAE everytime we do it!!!

It seems to me that they have been doing a lot of what you describe. The timing could be better, but the idea is correct and it has been working better than it was earlier. If all the other guys were as effective as Stokes has been lately, they would have won some of those close games and maybe even have made a better showing than they did last night. Even then, they had a number of decent looks inside that were spoiled when the guy who got it in close let himself get stripped or blocked going up. I agree with Mike and other posters who said that the main problem last night was failure to get key stops or extraordinary offense by UGA, whichever you prefer.
