    The real guy I like to watch is the help guy. The who is showing on the roll guy while the big is hedging and the guard is recovering. He has to show hard enough on the roll to discourage the ball handler from throwing the lobby, and still be able to close out on the wing 3 after the big...

    People say the same about GT on offense. Tbh, I LOVE watching UVA play, especially on defense. If it's not against your team, watching how hard we work off the ball to help, and hedge, and make what should be safe passes dangerous is awesome. It's a ballet. Once you know what to look for...

    The thing is, this is true. We're a system team, and more often than not we're going to have to rely on 3 and low four Star guys, who have been in the weight room and work for 3 years or 4 years to where they are good as upper upperclassman. Guys like Devon Hall, or guys like Malcolm Brogdon...

    Fwiw we kick the **** out of Purdue. We do everything that they do and we do it better. I may or may not be three drinks in already.

    FWIW, if you guys go small, it likely won't be 4 guards and Salt that UVA responds with. It'll likely be 3 guards and 2 forwards. One of our forwards is a "defend 1-4" type (Hunter) and another is a "defend 3-5" type (Wilkins). Their defensive flexibility lets them play a ton of minutes with a...

    This is all correct. I would say if UVa has a weakness, it's that both Salt and Diakite can sometimes be foul magnets, and if you're REALLY committed to pounding it down low, you might be able to get us in foul trouble. On the perimeter, we're pretty good. Honestly on the perimeter we're as...

    Tale of the Tape: Breakdown of Techs Center’s heading into 2018

    Cooper is a monster, and the reason that I am higher on guys like Jump and McKeehan than I am on Maye. I am FIRMLY of the belief that athleticism is more important than size and strength in GT's offensive line. You can get by with guys like Devine if you run right behind them, but I'll take a...

    Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    (y) I rarely get into Georgetown (and by rarely, I mean I do everything in my power to avoid it). It's a LOVELY area, but unless you live there, the commute is brutal (as are Friday and Saturday nights, when the douchebag brigade rolls down to M street and wants to try to brag about who...

    Selling academics at Tech AND CPJ's offense

    With the exception of hte folks here: gt has a pretty cruddy fanbase, tbh. They don't show up to games, when they do they show up late, when they do show up they don't create a hostile environment for the other team, they don't give to the athletic association, I've literally never seen a "go...

    ****hole Countries

    " In addition, the president singled out Haiti, telling lawmakers that immigrants from that country must be left out of any deal, these people said. “Why do we need more Haitians?” Trump said, according to people familiar with the meeting. “Take them out.”

    Per the Ajc: CPJ working through contract extension through 2022

    ?? GT scored 2 touchdowns in OT? how can their final 3 possessions have zero points? Or did you mean "final three possessions, except for the final two possessions". If you're into cherrypicking stats, how about "Wake Forest, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 10th and 12th possessions, 0 points". That's how...

    CPJ and CNW

    I think this is an important point. There is a wide gulf of possibilities between "it has no impact" and "it cripples the defense"
