Unfortunately it did happen. For a team that is at times really hard to watch, this one took the cake. Not just bad schemes but bad effort and in reality bad players.

FWIW I would think Saba goes before Maxwell No inside info just imho

One of the reasons we had trouble rotating in the first half was we extended the zone to half Court. Pastner said something and pregame interview about worrying about UVA picking us apart if we didn’t pressure them. Instead they simply made one pass to the foul line and picked us apart from...

Unlike some of the teams we have played, UVA doesn’t lend itself to us playing a small lineup. They play big and play in a phone booth around the basket. We will need to play bigs tomorrow probably including Saba. Against the pack line you have to reverse the ball and hit 3s on the back side...

Nice post. Agree with you but I might pick at your logic just a bit. Specifically, I do think our bigs could execute on high ball screens and rim runs like you saw with KY. Not in any way saying they are as athletic and would be as good as KY but Mecca, Howard and even Saba to some degree can...

I too would love another Banks but he tried to score with them rather than have Howard in the game. Though I really don't understand benching Mecca the whole second half - he could have played and Moore wasn't doing anything major out there. Couple of other things to sort of measure the...

why pastner left Mecca in with less than a minute to go knowing he would be ahead or close at half is beyond stupid. He does need to get racked over the coals for that one. Especially if he had decided he wasn't going to play Howard after the first half. that decision arguably turned the...

I think this is good news for Jose. Pelicans trade for McCollum From the article - Satoransky lost the Pelicans' backup point guard spot to two-way guard Jose Alvarado and has played in just one game since returning from health and safety protocols last month. Satoransky was part of the...

Local traffic reporter said their is a backup from cars trying to get to Reynolds. 😁

Dang. Didn’t get to see this one. Good to see them get a much needed win. Course it may tell me the best thing I can do now is stay away. Karma 😢😢 Besides what has been stated, the other thing I note in the box score is the free throws were essentially even. We have lost several games at...

It is clear CJP has been coaching trying to win now. Will be interesting to see if he switches to coaching for next year. That has a whole set of issues for the guys on the team now but hard to argue the logic at this point. I expect we will find that Saba and Mecca are not really ready at...

I was wrong before the game thinking they would focus on the perimeter. We made more 3 point shots than they did. They sliced and diced us with really nice offense between Mutts and Aluma inside. Both between them to score inside (Aluma with 24) and some really nice inside out kicks to shooters...

Yep - we got old and didn't stay old. With the missing class(es) there really isn't an obvious pathway back to getting old/staying old without a really stellar portal haul. The most obvious is a PF but I would probably add a 5 and then look for a high end playmaker/scorer regardless of...

Unfortunately last night isn't going to do much to liven things up around here :cautious:

No idea of Cremins’s salary but pretty sure that was the time that the ACC made more in TV revenue than any other conference.

That is the $64K question. Generally it can do a decent/good job of defending top of the key through foul line extended but good teams will get open shots in the corner and will drive defenders flying out to run them off the 3 point line. Especially when the big underneath has to fly out to...

Yep - neither team is going to play a lot of post up offense. There will be a lot of cutting and driving for which it would be nice to have some rim protection. But their primary focus is going to be to 3 point us out of the gym. They also don't get a lot out of their bench so if we can be...

Nice overview - VT is like Miami in that they are going to play a spread offense on the perimeter with a lot of movement and force Howard or any other big to play in space against a guy who is essentially a stretch 4. So if we want to play big we likely will have to be in the zone most of the...

NES you have expressed it well. though I do want to gently correct you that our FB program was indeed worse in the late 70s prior to the ACC. On your other point, I had a very good friend of mine blow up at me for what I thought was some gentle joking of him on the political side. Didn't...

I see your wiki link and raise you the ACC conference link :p Look below this year's standings and see the official ACC champions
