Yeah, but did he throw on his own team, giving points to the opposition at the end of a game that at that point was still contested? It certainly did not spark his team. Meanwhile, the officials went home with a full paycheck, none the worse for ware. Showing-up officials on the court, like...

Kelly was a completely ineffectual defender last year and he has worked hard to be an average defender. He wasn't great on the boards against B.C. but he has made himself into a good wing rebounder. But he is really struggling with Stoudamire's offensive "system" and he is in a good play-bad...

The perimeter defense by GT is simply lazy. There is a difference between settling for being "around" the shooter and actually contesting a shot. Combine that with also not really being much good at preventing dribble penetration, and you get BC hitting at a ridiculous 67% clip from the floor...

Thanks! Half dozen real good teams, posted just today, still on our schedule, nice. Can you refresh my memory who those are?

I don't think I remember in any of your posts where you note a team we played was really good or played well. Are there any teams left on our schedule that you think are really good so that if we win, we can hold you to admitting that it was a good win?

Might have been rusty. Scoring 19 points in the first half (27% shooting) and 52 points in the second half (59% shooting) is just very weird. But we lost this game on the defensive end. There were too many defensive breakdowns to count, and we let them build confidence and then we could never...

I think it is an unfortunate thing to employ psycho-jargon to belittle posters and to label unpopular opinions as ignorant. We can disagree with opinions and interpretation of observations without resorting to saying that they are too ignorant to participate in the discussion, especially in...

I enjoyed the hell out of that Duke win, I'll say that. That was one for the books. The MissSt win was sweet also. The new staff has lit a match under the Acme Rocket of recruiting also. The team is a work in progress, but totally capable of exciting and winning basketball.

So, to review: Dunning Kruger Effect = Getting your Yum Mucked? :unsure:

Abram was a 4* recruit and was projected to be scoring threat this season for GT. His crash 'n' Burn and subsequent disappearance this year is a big story. I think his fate has already been sealed, that he failed to buy-in and that the recent offers to two 2024 PGs is an indication that he...

For me, the season to date has been one of starts and stutters, with some thrillingly good play and then bad shooting and stagnant offensive play. There have been so many surprises that it is hard to know what to expect moving forward. But the core of the team is beginning to be established...

Kowacie is quite the outspoken booster for Stoudamire and GT. Given his production and consistency, he was a fine recruiting get for us.

I think some are over-thinking this: When the ball moves, the offense looks good and we get open shots. When our players are stagnant on that end, everything looks worse and the stats show it. None of this is special to GT. The question is, why does the offense sometimes stagnate and...

Abram is attempting 0.20 three point attempts per minuted played (84 minutes) George is attempting 0.11 three point attempts per minute played (245 minutes) The percentage may be similar, but Abram is attempting twice the three point shots per minute played than George. Big difference. Also...

Like a ball resting on the top of a narrow fence railing, it doesn't sound like a stable situation. I would expect that the ball will have to tumble to one side of the fence or the other sooner than later. Abram either commits to pulling it together or gets cut loose. How long can Abram...

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! Did it occur at a pool party at Ron Bell's house?

So, why isn't Abram playing? Forget that we don't know, it is time for wild and baseless conjecture to fill in the down time between the holidays!

For sake of comparison: Houston is ranked #1 in shooting percentage defense and is ranked #187 in shooting percentage offense. SDSt is ranked #68 in shooting percentage defense and #194 in shooting percentage offense. So both Houston and SDSt are average in terms of their shooting (better...

I went to look, Gt is ranked #263 in shooting percentage (out of 363) and ranked #44 in shooting percentage defense. BTW, UGA and Nevada are #s 21 and 20 in shooting percentage defense. Cincy #51. Mass-Lowell #58, UMass #65. So, maybe our bad shooting percentage is a tough draw on schedule...

I'm an analytics skeptic when it comes to sport (and other things). With that disclaimer aside, I think the fundamental problem with this squad so far is our shooting percentage. The turnovers definitely impact offensive efficiency, but it is the missing of too many open shots that has put the...
