Refs were consistent on that both ways. Duke didn’t adjust to the high screen. Could have gone zone or jumped the guard. UNC played stronger and better than I have seen them play
Funniest thing to me was TX vs KS going into overtime so no coverage of pregame gradu.
This year had a lot of questions and potential answers. All had to hit for us to be good this year. Howard steps up, young uns are legit scorers and Khalid gets at least a 15 foot jumper to at least be a scoring threat. None really came through and quite honestly Pastner didn't put the pieces...
Yea - I came out of my chair at that pass. Not what was needed. Plus screaming at Usher to shoot or at least look at the basket from the foul line. Plus Howard's fourth foul .... arrgghh
Like you say they battled and I will take it.
Good game to watch - and a much different game than I expected. I never expected that Pastner would be able to go all defense down the stretch and stay in the game. J Moore and K Moore on the court at the same time for much of the second half stretch is a bet I would have lost a lot of money...
The situation we find ourselves in now is to me full of contradictions
I understand the jaundice regarding NBA level college guys not wanting to spend their time in hard classes, but I don't believe that ALL the guys from 20-150 (pick your range) ALL believe they are sure fired NBA guys and...
That does make sense. Though I will say my daughter spent a year in Dublin and it ain't a bad place to have a supply chain extended layover - especially if you like Guinness. :hungover:
It’s more like 15 plus traffic. I can’t imagine. They couldn’t find a way to reschedule the charter or at least go commercial to some spot up the east coast to make the time manageable.
I fear you are right about the rest
If we can successfully play Khalid at the foul line, we may be OK. That gives us Usher and Khalid on the defensive end - a plus while we still hav 3 shooters on the court If we have to put Usher at the foul line then Khalid is the one they will ignore on the perimeter.
Or we go small and let...
We can only hope Vegas is wrong twice in a row
This will be about as different a game as is possible. We go from arguably the toughest team in the ACC who can’t shoot worth a damn to the least physical team in the ACC who can shoot the lights out at at least 4 spots.
While they are long...
We run 3 different zones 1) the normal matchup zone. 2) a true 1-3-1 zone normally with Khalid up top and 3) a 3-2 zone with Howard at the top of the zone. Against Pitt we mostly ran #1 but we sprinkled in #3. Especially when Howard came back with 4 fouls we ran #3 which is where you saw...
Bookies normally don’t move lines that much on revenge/bounce back factor. This seems to only slightly include recent loss by us and win by Pitt. Didn’t expect this but hey ….. whatever
Pitt shot out of their mind against UNC. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Our D will have to be good...
That is my concern as well. We did the "get old" part but fell flat on the "stay old" part. We now have some really nice parts that may well develop into major ACC level playmakers/scorers but they came in a year late to be part of the "stay old" process. Same with the bigs - they have...
