matchup zone? prepare to have 3's rained down on your head.
beating any zone....including a feared 'matchup zone' depends on outside shooting. your article is about one game against a team that lives on turning you over and scoring at the rim. the matchup zone must not have worked 16 times i guess.
the reason syracuse's matchup (most famous matchup zone) is so effective is the length of their players. i haven't seen your roster but i don't expect to see syracuse jr. out there.
tj price, chris harrison-docks, and brandon harris will get tired elbows from dropping 3's. ****none of them will drop 40 on you. but they will eat up a zone.

Georgia St. is quickly becoming this upcoming preseasons North Texas, haha....We all saw how that turned out, but I will say at least North Texas had a good season in a conf. they had played in season before....

Ha. That's actually been in the back of my mind this whole time. I remember all of that UNT/Tony Mitchell stuff. All I can take solace in is the fact that our team isn't relying on one guy to carry us. Harrow was just another bullet in the chamber added to Hunter, Atkins, and White who all averaged more than 14 points per game last year. While only one other guy besides Mitchell averaged better than 14 points for UNT in 2011-2012 (heck, I didn't realize that Mitchell himself averaged less than 15 points per game - I assumed more with all the hype he was given preseason last year).

hey......let's just make one thing clear.....harrow is no tony mitchell.
as one of the mean green posters used to tell us.....the sun belt had never seen an athlete like tony mitchell.
in spite of several schools from the belt sending guys to the association over the years.
with all that said. i can understand the hype. he is/was a fabulous athlete. i honestly believe he would have had a beastly season under old coach jj if he hadn't went to lsu. he had some gaudy games in half a freshman season. i hope he matures and does well in the league.

There are always unknowns, like coaching changes and player development, but I'd expect similar standings from the past.
The only real unknown is how Georgia State will do coming from the Colonial. The Colonial and SBC just don't compare well. Plus the Kentucky transfer helps an already experienced team.
Just because he played at UK does not mean he is all world....He looked horrible last season in a very down SEC ...I am sure he will help Georgia St. some, but some posters are implying Georgia St. will waltz in Sun Belt and dominate, I do not see it happening...Georgia St. will finish behind WKU, ULL, and USA at least....

Funny but true...What has Georgia St. done to believe otherwise? You guys went 15 and 16 last season and lost to Troy..I don't care if you have everyone plus Harrow coming back......You guys are not waltzing in Sun Belt and finishing in the top three, no way...

So many LOLs looking back at this.
Hilarious I am sure you are batting 1.000 in everything you do in life and never are wrong...Could pull up several other threads where I was right too...If only we could all be as perfect as you...I stated in that thread if I was wrong, I would be first to admit...I was wrong about REGULAR SEASON....Doesn't matter because I was partially right you guys choked when it mattered and a quick exist out of a 2nd rate tournament...Shame for such a successful regular season, hopefully you guys don't turn into MTSU and the Braves....So in that aspect I was right and at least man enough to admit I was wrong....Good luck next season!

Just wow. Posting out-of-date graphs about a conference that you are in for another 72 hours. Oh well, I guess you have to enjoy it now, because you will never get anywhere near that in your new conference.
Here's hoping that when someone uses the phrase "as a University", GSU fans never immediately think of athletics.

Nope, I'm not batting 1.000 in everything I do in life. But I know when not to open my mouth.
I love how you now want to qualify your statements about the "regular season." As if you were distinguishing "finish[ing] behind" other teams in the conference tournament. Even under such notion, the only team Georgia State could have even been regarding as "finishing behind" would be ULL.
Anyway, I just stumbled upon this thread while doing research for something else I had in mind (Friday afternoon boredom - is it 5 o'clock yet?) and couldn't help but say something.

There's not 10% of GSU fans that would trade 1 fcs championship to be the "best University" in the USA. We are on a sports message board so why would I think athletics.
Sounds like to me you think C-USA is head & shoulder better than the SBC
