Regarding a big man there are a couple of I would look for a big man in the portal but it is not a cut and dried decision. By stats we were decent to good with things like rebounding and blocked shots. And Ndongo was second in field goal percentage and sixth in rebounding in the ACC. So not...

The upside at crunch time was we actually planed good defense for the shots - rebounding was an issue when we needed it. Ndongo needs 15 more lbs and we need a 4 we can play against bigs. Offense was the same combination of a missed shot(s) when we had it and turnovers when we needed crisp...

He would have helped today

Great guard play is especially important in the system we run. It depends on guards who can break down a defender. We don't do a lot of system work like a UVA or VT to put our guards/wings in advantage situations.

I think the 3 spot is a bit of a stretch - especially the way we play. But if he can hold defensive attention in the corner at the 4 spot that would be huge. And allow us to find a big more traditional 5 to play when needed.

Awbuzz with the winning formula. And many of the shots by George were high arching floaters that are generally not tremendously high percentage shots. But he and Kelly shot us to this win. Now it doesn't happen without the energy on defense and the boards. But shooting was the key.

The answer to the hard hedge Wake used last time is the pocket pass to Ndongo right after the screen. He actually is really good with the ball at the foul line making decisions on shooting/passing. I will be curious to see what adjustments we have made since last time. Their PG worries me as...

I have a little inside information on Tony as a friend of mine does some financial business with him. I think it is safe to say he is "old school" and not a huge fan of the NIL and instant transfer portal now the norm in college basketball. I don't have any info beyond that but it doesn't...

Best thing to me about the FSU game was FSU played pretty much the same way they did the first time. Switch everything and place a lot of pressure on the perimeter. Overplay passing lanes and press to increase the pressure. Last time we backed down and didn't really get past the perimeter...

I have met him once. There is no way you cannot like the guy.

He just has to be a good enough shooter to command attention in the corner. And a good enough handle to fake and drive. I don’t think Moses got over 35% from 3 but he was enough of a threat from there and closer in to keep the lane clear

The last 5 minutes were frustrating to say the least - but it doesn't take away from the fact we came out and played a lot harder for the first 35 minutes. The ball movement today was light years ahead of prior games and the defense - while at times overhelping and getting caught watching the...

I would have given Shifflen the first 3 but after he showed it you had to play him out there. The wide open shot from the foul line at the start of the game was criminal level effort. Can't even give Hall the first one but we did. Clemson was in cruise control after the first 5 min and we...

Saw enough out of Gapare tonight to know he has potential especially on the defensive end. Need a lot more consistency but it’s good to see glimpses

Won the rebounding battle 49 28. Oh my God that’s huge as a demonstration of effort and toughness Key thing was we kept them out of the paint and out of getting downhill especially in second half. Syracuse can’t shoot. Scored just enough on our side to get a win. Love it

Notre Dame drove and got fouled. Notre Dame got offensive rebounds. That’s how they beat us. We somehow someway in some fashion have to figure out how to make a play or get a stop when we need it

Well so much for the Geoff Collins comparisons :sneaky: To your point though, I probably wouldn't have said anything like that just to keep expectations a bit lower. but I have to figure he thought he did see something in the team he had that would be a lot better than what we have seen...

At the risk of getting tied up in a syntax argument over what "coaching" means, let me try. Cremmins was an elite recruiter but just as much had a great eye for how talents would fit together. So when you have a Kenny Anderson, Marbury or even a Mark Price - you don't want to run highly...

This is a rabbit trail. He was making the point that this game is about us more than the other team and we had to come to play before any of the other stuff mattered. I think he was right. But I don’t believe that meant they actually didn’t do any of the scouting reports or work ups or...

Probably not. He is at GT as part of his commission in the Air Force for further training in the master’s program.
