Bobcat Men's Basketball Falls in Anderson; Travel to Montevallo for Two Day Tourney

Our Bobcat men's basketball team fell on the road in Anderson, SC at Anderson University this past Tuesday night 82-74 to the Trojans.

I was not at the game due to calling the women's contest the same night against West Georgia.

Here is a recap of the match: http://www.gcsubobcats.com/sports/mbkb/2010-11/releases/20101123d0kso4


Now it's time to quickly hit the road again after Turkey Day to Montevallo for a two day, two game tournament hosted by Montevallo University. The Bobcats will be facing off against North Alabama Friday, Nov. 26 at 6:30, followed by West Florida on Saturday, Nov. 27.

Here are some keys to look for in the two games if the Bobcats are to be successful:\

1) CLOSE OUT THE GAME: Over the past two games against Tusculum, Georgia College has had the lead late but has squandered it. While this team is young, it must develop a sense of closure and veteranship in order to finish the game out the way good teams do. I think this will happen more and more over the course of the season.

2) JARED HOLMES IS THE TABLE SETTER: This guy is fabulous! Holmes has led GC in scoring in all three game thus far, putting up double figures each night out. When he's on, the Bobcats have a legitimate chance to win.

3) TAKE PRIDE IN REBOUNDING: Last time out at Anderson University, Georgia College allowed 12 offensive rebounds, otherwise known as letting the Trojans creep back in the game by not getting a defensive board when need be. It's imperative to rebound the ball and not allow opponents second chance opportunities in the games this weekend.

4) BOUNCE BACK: The last two games have been punches in the gut, no doubt. Leading late and unfortunately losing the lead and the game can play a told on your mind. GC needs to stay positive, play smart basketball, and get two wins in Alabama like the knows it's capable of doing!
