I thought last nights result was much better than our last trip there.

[Des Moines Rugby]

interesting that last night we held them to 44 points.....the next closest total on your list was 59 points.....I thought we would score 70 to 75 points after the way we played the first half...but Jones, Teague, Lamb and MKG missed a bunch of easy shots in the second half....throw in the fact that we took only 12 free throw attempts for the entire game and it ended up being an ugly offensive game...the only constant was the defense....

btw....as often as this team gets to the rack we should have shot more free throws....I saw numerous instances last night that the referees swallowed their whistles......

I'd never had guessed that would be one of the largest margins of victory.

I thought it was a pretty well played game. We learned how to play against the zone. Put Miller in a position to contribute. He need sto rebound more and maybe get an assist now and then. But our D was very good IMO. Nice win on the road.

One game at a time!!!!

PVO!!!!!!!!!!!

fiddling, there have many UK blowouts of georgia--at Athens, and lots of losses by UK. I tried to look at RANKED UK teams, and ignored wins and losses by unranked UK teams.

What amazed me were how many really SUPER UK teams have had problems or relatively close games at Athens.

1950--1978--94--96(WOW)--and my "RUNTS", to list a few.

Georgia just has a history of causing YK problems in Athens.
