  1. Game Thread - Pitt, 3/4

    I have two tix that I'm not going to be able to use tonight - free to true Tech fans. FCFS.
  2. Game Thread - dook, 1/8/2020

    People are talking about all of our losses in non conf, and while I agree there were some games we should have / could have won, I'm not sure I agree it's as dire a situation as people are making it out to be. Sure, the Ball St loss was not great, but to date, we have the #2 SOS in the country...
  3. Game Thread - dook, 1/8/2020

    Really like the effort the past few games - intensity has been there. Offense struggled at times, but when you think about that fact that Usher & Devoe were 3/14 for 12 points (Usher had 0) with 5 assists and 5 TO's, it's pretty incredible we were even in this game. The big guys kept us in it...
  4. Game Thread - Elon, 11/11/2019

    He fouled out in 12 minutes of play against WCU, so safe to say the jury's still out. But picking up a foul every 2.5 minutes is something I could see Moses doing, so I guess the comparison is fair?
  5. Game Thread - Elon, 11/11/2019

    Asanti is more athletic than I thought he would be - I'm glad he got substantial minutes tonight. From my vantage point (Section 111), a few of his 3 pt attempts looked a little flat. But his stroke was much better in warm ups - could have been he was rushing the shot or was tired and using a...
  6. GT +8.5 @ NC State

    There's good and bad in every game (regardless of win or loss). Good - I thought for all the turnovers and offensive miscues Moses had in the 1st half, he redeemed himself with great energy and presence, especially defensively, in the 2nd half. There was a stretch where NCSU had trouble getting...
  7. NCAA Ruling - Postseason Ban, Among Other Bogus Things...

    I don't understand this take from people. Nothing, outside of a coaching change, will impact him. - 2020 postseason ban: he'll still be in high school - Probation: nothing punitive associated - Fine and reduction in budget: no direct impact to him - Reduction in schollys: he's getting one over...
  8. NCAA Ruling - Postseason Ban, Among Other Bogus Things...

    If this happens within the next year, the truly unthinkable will have happened: Josh Pastner will have left GT basketball in a worse place than when he took over for Brian Gregory. Think about how down you were on the program with BG. It's worse now.
  9. NCAA Ruling - Postseason Ban, Among Other Bogus Things...

    I'm fine if Mike Self walks away clean - he's done nothing wrong (to my knowledge). Now, if Bill Self gets out unscathed, then I'll have issues.
  10. Coaching Carousel 4 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now

    Never forget we lost out on Monte Morris to a guy that 'f'ing hated recruiting'.
  11. ACC Tournament

    The Laszewski loss was definitely big, especially because he was replaced by Durham, a guy that has virtually zero perimeter presence. But I’d still argue Laszewski’s impact impact would have been diminished in the second half, even if he had been able to play, by our full time move to man and...
  12. ACC Tournament

    First switched to man around the 10 min mark in the first half - got hurt on a couple back doors and waffled btwn man and zone the rest of the half. Biggest difference between halves was intensity, not defense we ran. Overall a pretty good game offensively. ND just shot lights out in the first...
  13. Travelling?

    Typically in today’s game, there are generally two “plays” that invoke a traveling call. I would bet these make up 80%-90% of these types of calls (I have no evidence for this statistic). 1. Big man underneath the basket shuffling their feet 2. Player on the perimeter that makes a jab and...
  14. Pitt vs GT (-1.5)

    Total rebounding percentage leaders: Banks (15.1%) Gueye (12.0%) Wright (11.6%) Sjolund (6.8%) Haywood (6.7%) Devoe (6.7%) Alvarado (6.6%) Alston (5.4%) Moore (5.3%) So looks like I was wrong about Devoe being one of the worst rebounding guards, as he's on par with Alvarado and Haywood and is...
  15. Pitt vs GT (-1.5)

    It wasn’t pretty, but you can’t fault either team for their effort. Sjolund didn’t shoot the ball great, but Jose and Curt finally found their rhythm and picked up the slack on the perimeter. I actually thought Moses played one of his better games, especially on defense (had a nasty block), but...
  16. GT at ND Post Game Discussion

    One of the biggest points of frustration for me this year is with this team’s inability to play fundamental basketball. For example, we rank 310th in the country in turnovers per game at 15.3. In most cases, taking care of the ball doesn’t take talent, it takes discipline and execution. Poor...
  17. Article Jackets Look to "Get Right" vs Clemson

    That was the saddest game that I can remember under Pastner. You can usually count on this group to play hard if not well, and I’m not sure you can convince me they did that tonight. Turnovers and sloppy play continued as did the poor shooting effort. Energy was nonexistent and there was even...
  18. ND at GT

    I'm not advocating man would have been the answer - we've run both a 2-3 and a 1-2-2 under Pastner, both of which would have been an effective adjustment last night. ND posted Laszewski up in the corner and the guy shot 44% from three, not counting 5/6 from the line on the 2-3 point attempts he...
  19. ND at GT

    A win is a win, and I'll never complain about that. But this game should not have been as close as it was - we were up 11 with 5 minutes left and that lead was cut to 2 just 2 minutes later. Learning how to win and close teams out is something that will come with time and experience in those...
  20. gt @ clemson

    I'm excited about tonight's game, mainly because this will be a great gauge on how mature we are as a team and how good a job the coaches did managing the locker room after a big road win. I'm fully expecting to get Clemson's best effort - this is a must-win game for them. Not only are they 0-3...
