    Miami 1/4/23 - GAME THREAD

    Considering the sentiments expressed on this board (and others), and the performances in the last two games, they were very good. Still a lot of support for the guys which is very encouraging. As I mentioned, add the students in and it would have been an awesome atmosphere.

    Miami 1/4/23 - GAME THREAD

    Deivon didn't contribute much offensively other than the put-back and the nasty dunk on the backdoor cut, but he really filled the box score otherwise. He grabbed 7 rebounds and 5 assist on 0 turnovers, all while playing really strong on D. He's at his best when he plays within himself and...

    Miami 1/4/23 - GAME THREAD

    Crowds for UVA and Miami were both great.. The only thing missing was the students. I guess they're still on break. Add them to the equation, and it would have been a huge advantage. It got loud down the stretch and it did give them a lift!

    Miami 1/4/23 - GAME THREAD

    If this team doesn't come out in "max-effort" mode tonight, then there is no hope. We should be diving into the stands for loose balls, bodies on the floor all night, scratching and clawing for this one.

    When does Pastner feel heat

    This very topic has been rehashed so many times, yet no one pays attention. To move the needle the way many here want, you need somewhere in the range of $30-$35 million. We’re so far away from that it’s absurd. We can’t even afford social media managers. Josh is far from perfect, but give him...

    UVA - 12/31

    That’s a good question. When I asked him about that in the summer, his response was along the lines of that is what the guys know. I took that to mean that while we’re relatively young, the ones that have been here have been taught Princeton, so going away from it and going back to square one...

    UVA - 12/31

    Coming into the season, he wanted to play faster. That simply meant finding a good shot and taking it earlier in the shot clock and scoring more in transition. He felt we had a team of good shooters and wanted to play to that, and he felt like we had the athletes to get out and run...

    UVA - 12/31

    He didn’t, he just said that he is going to be good for us. That led me to believe that he will continue to see limited PT this season. Especially after missing a week of practice.

    UVA - 12/31

    Stranger things have happened, but make no mistake, it would take a scratch, claw, fight effort to pull this one out. Vegas line will be in the 7.5 / 8 range in favor of UVA.

    UVA - 12/31

    I realize that many have given up on this team / coach, but I'll continue to support them as long as they remain at GT. Just thought I'd pass this along. Connected with Josh yesterday and he told me that they really grinded the team hard this week. Big focus on cleaning up the zone and...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    LOL...I realize that you have an angle behind the point you are trying to make, but as usual, you are living in fantasy land. Steph Curry, who most agree is the best "shooter" in the history of basketball, has a career FG % of 47.4% and career 3PT % of 42.8% I think that you're a little off in...

    ACC 2022-2023

    Exactly, let’s not act like they’re still not stocked with great talent. Parity is a real thing these days in college hoops.

    Battle of ATL

    This is spot on. He’s going to be a good player for us. Excellent rebounder and he can get by his guy almost at will, he just has to finish, and he needs to be a lockdown defender. I agree with others that I don’t know if having him and Kyle on the court together is the best approach. He’ll be...

    Battle of ATL

    I thought we got plenty of good looks in the half court, we just didn’t make enough of them. People need to give a little credit to GA State too. They played hard on defense and fed off the energy of their crowd. That had a lot to do with the offensive struggles. Additionally, remember that...

    ACC 2022-2023

    I was in Louisville for business last night, and I didn’t realize until I got there that I was staying next to the Yum Center. Talk about a nice arena! Wow - Louisville loves their hoops team. While I decided against the game - it was a 9pm tip and I had an early flight - I must say it was a...

    GT vs Clayton State game notes

    My understanding is that it counts the same as any other W against lesser teams, but it’s not really going to move the needle. It won’t prevent us from making the tournament if we’re in consideration.

    GT vs Clayton State game notes

    We’ve scored 80+ against Vandy and Tulane and 90+ in our opener. We have shooters all over the floor, and guards that can get into the lane. I’m not naive enough to think we will score at the same clip all season, especially in the ACC, but there’s a few other things I’d be worried about...

    GT vs Clayton State game notes

    According to Josh, this counts as W in the win column. GT 1-0 on the season.

    GT vs Clayton State game notes

    That's fair, but the one nit I will pick is your assessment of Jalon Moore. I thought he flashed a good bit last night, and I was really impressed with him. I thought Jalon, Rodney, and Lance all played well.. He had 11 points, 9 boards, and 2 blocks in 17 minutes. They call him "Drip" and...
