The Clemson Tigers beat the ECU Pirates 82-67, and I had the pleasure of attending. I also got to watch Freshman Terrance Oglesby show his stuff. Here’s basically what was going through my mind when he was playing.
What’s that little white guy doing out there?
What the hell, man, don’t shoot from six feet behind the 3 point line!?!?! (Swish) Did he just make that?
(Swish) He did it again! That is one crazy little dude.
(Swish) I guess anywhere our side of half court is free reign for this guy.
(Brick) You know what, why try for the lay up if you can hit the 3?
(Swish) Better.
ECU fan to me: Does he miss? I don’t think he’s missed a three pointer. (Funk: He’s kind of a freak of nature, isn’t he.)
Oglesby doesn’t shoot a traditional shot. He kind of throws it over his head like a soccer play throwing the ball in. He also isn’t fancy. So, if you don’t pay attention, you don’t realize he’s the star our there. As a matter of fact, I’d say our strongest game is on the boards and on D.
ECU tried to drive the lane several times and had there shot smacked into the bleachers. It was strange, though, because our guys weren’t all like “Get that out of here, bitches!” They were more like “yeah, we’re probably going to do that a few more times. Maybe coach will stop for hot chocolate after the game. I’ve been reading a ne-WHACK-I guess that makes two. Anyway, I’ve been reading this – WHACK- You know, you guys could at least try something different . . .”
I am not saying the effort wasn’t there, but our guys were not giving 100%-maybe 75%, but certainly about 50% during the first half when they kept traveling, double dribbling and making many other stupid mistakes that any 6th grader has mastered.
Well, all in all, it was a good time.
Sincerely,
