hully gully
adj.— «In junior college I could drive to the basket and get layups, and now I’ve got to do a floater or pass the ball off to a big man. Sometimes junior college ball got a little hully gully, and Division I basketball is bigger and a little more organized.» —“Chemistry helping Bearkats to success in 2006″ by Tom Waddell Bearkat Men’s Basketball (Huntsville, Texas) Apr. 15, 2006.
