    He’s not overrated. No one is hyping Banks. Maybe preseason and early, early season when there was NBA talk. I’ll give you that, because personally I don’t think he’s got nba level skills. But, lately it’s quite the opposite. A lot of people have been pretty down on him.

    Thanks for providing your perspective. I’m not talking about games other than last night (the 50% capacity games). Those suck, and unfortunately, as you say those are the norm for GT these days. However, what you say about the direct comparison between sellout crowds is disappointing. Although...

    Ive been to the vast majority of home games since the thriller dome reopened as McCamish Pavillion which was 7 seasons or so ago, and I don’t think there has been another game where it was as loud for as long as it was last night. Even during halftime, I could barely have a conversation with the...

    This. It was awesome in McCamish tonight. A lot of dookies, but not as bad as it has been for Duke and other visitors the past few years, and our fans absolutely brought it tonight. It was a lot of fun being there tonight. We absolutely had home court advantage. I think it really rattled Duke at...

    Pastner vs Crean

    I think you are absolutely right, but the KY fans still got loud a couple of times.

    Pastner vs Crean

    Happy Crean’s mutts lost to KY. Not sure what the crowd was like at stegeman, but was thrilled to hear GO BIG BLUE chant over the tv :)

    These days, a sell out is not usually good for the home team. Hopefully, this game will be different.

    I was really happy to see Cole working that baseline backdoor cut instead of standing in the corner. We played a great game, especially Jose, so I don’t want to nitpick, but I thought Jose looked for the lob a few too many times instead of just shooting the runner in the lane. A couple of the...

    I think student sections will be full Wednesday. It’s the rest of the seats that I’m worried about, including season ticket holders.

    It's Wednesday night, not tomorrow, and they are the #2 team in country, so not a must win or anything, but we better not see another stinker like our last 2 30 point home losses this season. Let's hope it's competitive, hope for a win, and hope for a home crowd. A win is probably more likely...

    Same here. I’ll be there vs Duke ( and all the others). I hope we have a good crowd.

    Got it... clear as mud. I mean, huh? So, what does it mean to project a college player as a lottery pick? Top 4 or top 14?

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't lottery pick mean one of the first 4 draft picks (was 3 before 2019)? That term lottery pick is way over used.

    It's just what they do after a road win. They treat the players to gas station junk food before taking the trip back home. The players seem to like it. I don't remember which road game started it. I think there is a particular gas station in the triangle area that they hit up when they get a...

    I agree that the game is a bit misleading because of the big early lead and that we gave up a ton of points in the second half, but we did not play like our regular selves in the second half. We shot 63% and scored 49 points in the second half. We won the first half 47-27 and we lost the...

    He is so quick he can get those midrange pull-ups pretty easily. I like that part of his game. Sometimes, he just hangs in the air for too long and lets the defender recover and close out.

    Yes, they meant the 20 point deficit at the half is the largest ever at the half in the Dean dome. How long have they played there?

    He played well. He made 2 more great passes that would have been assists but got nullified by bs charging fouls.

    Looking at those team stats is pretty crazy. We basically just out shot them. Everything else is pretty close. They beat us on the boards and at the line. Their 0-15 start (and our defense) had a lot to do with it. We got a ton of points in the paint (easy 2 pointers). 32 in the first half and...
