    1/20 - MBB vs. UVA

    UVA is 0-4 in true road games this season, and they haven't really been competitive in any of them. Memphis L 54-77 Notre Dame L 54-76 NC State L 60-76 Wake Forest L 47-66 We just have to ensure that we a.) give the Jackets a homecourt advantage and b.) that the team doesn't...

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    "LETS GO TIGERS, RIGHT HERE!" I must have heard that 40 times last night.

    1/20 - MBB vs. UVA

    I’m already looking forward to it! It will be interesting to see if we can build off the road win! Hope we can generate some energy. I hate UVA damn near as much as Duke & UNC.

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    His role is defensively (for now) and rebounding. He often is used to guard the other teams PG or SG. CDS is not looking to him for offensive production. He does need to stop shooting so many threes, but I believe that he will continue to develop into a really solid player for us.

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    For sure, but we don’t win that game last night if not for Claude. He played great last night and was clutch at the line.

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    No doubt, since we won, we can ***** about the refs without it sounding like sour grapes. We did foul a lot and have to get better, but they weren’t calling it both ways. Our guys were getting moved out of the way quite often on the boards. We would get hacked underneath the basket, no call...

    I think that people are so accustomed to you ****ting on everything GT hoops that you have lost the benefit of the doubt. 🤷‍♂️

    1/13 - MBB vs. Duke

    I'm not sure I've said this publicly, but this one might get ugly! @57jacket hit the nail on the head. They're going to be PISSED off and try to take it out on us. I'll be pulling with everything I got (I freakin hate DOOK), but combine all those factors with our recent struggles. Yikes!!!

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    I was about to say. He’s not being shadow-banned, everyone just has him on ignore. Add me to this list. He has to be the same guy posting at as GT74 on JOL..LOL

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    If you don't have an axe to grind with Damon, like the poster above has since day one, then you clearly see that what he is saying is true. We do have a lot of mental lapses, we do lack toughness, and many of our guys haven't been held to a standard. Miles Kelly has never been THE guy on a...

    Attendance and Atmosphere

    Disagree... Student turnout is abysmal unless there is a giveaway of some sort or a big name opponent.

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    Did Paul Johnson go to Power I from the triple option, for a single snap, in year 1 because he didn’t have the personnel to execute the offense? My point is that Damon is working on installing a culture, way of doing things, and he’s not willing to change.

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    Great discussion..bolded part above is key. I can’t remember where I saw it or who said it, but when people are dropping big bags, and it sounds like some of donors are, people want to see a return. If a kid isn’t developing or putting in the work, they’re likely to be encouraged to move on...

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    You said it yourself. Their play / body language is no different than it’s ever been. They’re great kids / young men, but expecting Kyle to suddenly to be something different after 5 seasons is crazy. He will be up and down all season. He will play great and look like a 5th year center, and in...

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    We were one of the top offensive rebounding teams in the conference prior to last night.

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    You’re overthinking it. Kyle was one assist from a triple double on Saturday, and he laid an egg on both sides of the ball last night. As much as I appreciate his service, I’d say that sums up his career at GT. Inconsistency has plagued him the last couple of seasons.

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    I agree with you on the added pieces, but I think there is a bit more to it. I think there is a mental aspect to it. We’ve heard Damon talk about the guys still needing to buy all the way in to what he and the staff are requiring of them. Damon has alluded (a couple of times) that our returning...

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    Thought he played great... He was good defensively too. He played Burton tough without fouling, whereas Kyle was getting torched by the kid. 9 pts / 11 assist / 3 turnovers. That's big dog stuff for a kid that should still be in high-school. He would have had more assist if some of our guys...

    Par from the course....Usual suspects. I just laugh at them now.
