Would you like to take $50 off me for the Ned-Ozen game?

A few team's have played this type of D against us this year, and we normally shoot our way out of it. Didn't happen tonight. Coach Lee's plan was to not allow English or Weisbrod to beat them, and it worked. English made every shot he took (3), and Weisbrod was held to 1 point! Somebody else needs to step up! :-\[/quote]Yes, that was the key. We had a player in Weisbrod's pocket all night and closed out on young English when he wanted to fire the 3.

asary Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Wow...I can say a lot of things. IMO the refs were simply horrible. Nederland can't blame the loss on the refs. We did not have a bucket until about 4 min left in the 2nd quarter. We had 4 points at that time all from freethrows, are you kiddin me? We did not block out, we did not rebound, we did not penetrate, we got one shot to their 3 all night long. We had a laçk of intensity. No-one stepped up and became a leader tonight. We could not hit a 3 for our life. Our big man did not have a bucket, yes, did not have one bucket all night (please correct me if I'm wrong). K. Smith for Central played a great game. Central defended and shut us down better than any team yet. Central played hard, aggressive, and simply put outplayed us tonight. Congrats Jags. :'(

asary Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Well, it was one of those nights when it simply wasn't our night. Not many things went right for Nederland. Central played a better game. When you're on a winning streak 2 things are for sure. 1) every team is gunning for ya, 2) and at some point the winning streak will end. It ended tonight, and congratulations go to Central. Having said that, hold your heads high bulldogs, what you accomplished is something to be proud of. Our Nederland basketball community has come together AND GROWN because of what you have accomplished. Let the "pain" of this loss soak in, learn from it, and move forward. At the end of the day it is simply ONE loss. Begin a new win streak, and continue winning District Championships....and strive for your next goal of winning a Regional tournament. PROUD TO BE A BULLDOG!
Dick Vitale Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 In the words of Dennis Green: They (Nederland) are who we THOUGHT they were!!! 8)....Although I didn't see a 15 point shalacking, I feel an "I told you so" coming on..... ::) ::)....whats that NEW number NB-Dawg? ;)[move][size=18pt]1[/size][/move]
Honest Abe Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 [move][size=24pt]29!!!![/size][/move]The number is still 29 Dickie V! That is something you can't take away from the program and community. ;) This is a special group of kids. Being 25-6 and 10-1 during a rebuilding year is not too shabby at this point of the season. There is work to be done, and I believe in these kids and Coach E. Good luck on demoralizing someone else. ;)
BMTSoulja1 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 And it does not get any easier for Nederland. They still Have LC-M, who played them tight last time. Also, they have Ozen who lost in OT I believe. Ozen was there scouting (i was sitting right by them last night). They were seriously analysing that game writing down things that Central did that worked. 8) 8)

Players will play the game and I would also suspect that Nederland will be making adjustments as well and will not shoot as poorly as they did in this game.
BMTSoulja1 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 They shot poorly because of fast close outs on the 3 point line. Nederland is a spot shooter team. If you run them off their spot and watch the quick dump off pass to their bigs, you will have the advantage. Now, Central did shoot HORRIBLE from the charity stripe. Now that's something that Nederland had no bearing on. We had a bearing on their poor FG shooting.

I don't see us shooting 9 for 39 against Ozen.

mytwocents-28 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 This was a wake up call. Big ned got caught with there pants down. It WILL NOT happen again.
CThoops Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 I wouldnt be surprised if this isnt just one of those games that makes you refocus on the real goal.. District Championship! Going undefeated is tough and a harder to do each week you get closer to that goal happening.. Dont like to lose, but this might not be a bad loss.. Lesson to be learned from this.. Just because you show up to the gym, doesnt mean you are going to win..Lets go Dogs!

You Have to run your offense and shoot through it. After you make a few of them, you could then go down low to Weisbrod. Central imployed no full court press, so Nederland would have NEVER had a problem setting up it's halfcourt offense.
