    At WF, 3/5/2024 1st of Last Two Regular Season Games

    What a great game! I took my 11-year old daughter and she absolutely loved it. 🥰 I’m now 2-0 in person this year. The Jackets looked really good, especially in the first half. Their defense and shooting was as good as I have seen all season. TV Teddy and the other refs were horrible, but...

    MBB, Miami, 2/24... Someone has to start the thread

    Nice win. Good effort all game and really good defense in the 2nd half. 22 assists and 15 threes. These are the types of wins we needed in January. Maybe we can make a little run to end the season?

    Jackets MBB host Syracuse, 2/17/2024

    I'm late to post, but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the game from section 202, and I saw a team that has not given up. The play that Ndongo made to save the ball in the last 30 seconds is indicative of the effort and energy the whole team played with. Syracuse inexplicably did not...

    Jackets MBB host Syracuse, 2/17/2024

    I’ll be in attendance for the first time in many years, so we will soon know if presence is good or bad luck to the team! 😉

    GT vs WF 2/6 7:00 PM

    Well, I won't be starting a game thread ever again. However....even bad juju from an incorrect game thread title can't be blamed for this loss. That was an ugly display of shooting, an ugly display of effort and energy on defense, and an overall ugly game. If I was there in person, I would...

    GT vs WF 2/6 7:00 PM

    Win or lose, we need to cheer our team on! Let’s put one in the left column, ok? Go Jackets!

    MBB @ NC St 2/3 5:30PM EST

    Any idea how to watch this game after the fact? I usually watch the ESPN broadcast games on demand, but I'm not sure where to get a replay of this one.

    GT-UNC IS OFFICIALLY A WHITEOUT

    YESSSS! Way to go, Jackets! So glad to see one finally go our way. Gutty performance and truly a team effort. Who would have given us a chance after Baye went down? What I liked: -The ending! -George and Sturdivant playing like men possessed down the stretch. They scored 25 or our 37...

    Article MBB GT vs. Va. Tech 1/27/2024

    I am not sure what else to add to what has already been said. Every game feels like a repeat at this point. I will say I was glad to see Carter Murphy back in the rotation, and not just because he hit the 2 threes. Generally speaking, I think he plays hard and plays smart, and we need all...

    Some 23-24 Basketball stats

    Wait…are you trying to tell me Emmer Nichols isn’t our best player? The stats clearly show it! 😉

    Article Buzz is busy... Some Things You Might Not Know

    Not sure when you were in school, but I was Buzz from 2000-2003, and there were always at least three of us then. I kinda liked the anonymity of it. I could mess with people I knew and they didn’t know it was me. It felt like a secret identity. Although it was hard to hide that big black...

    1/20 - MBB vs. UVA

    This was another frustrating loss. We cannot seem to hold consistent effort for 40 minutes. I was yelling at the screen to tell our guys to fight through those screens and to cut hard on offense, but, alas, they didn't hear me. From the TV, I thought the crowd was only ok. It was too quiet...

    1/16 - MBB vs. Clemson

    Wow! What an amazing game. So many positive things to come out of this game. Man am I glad we didn't have to settle with a "moral victory!" Here is what I liked: -Resilience from the whole team. Congrats to all of them and congrats to the coaches for keeping their spirits up. -Nait...

    1/9 - GT MBB vs Notre Dame

    Ugh. Another home loss to a mediocre ACC team. Interestingly, we found a new way to lose in this one, but we played a pretty good game and even fixed some of our previous issues. You want less turnovers? ✅Check. Except for a small stretch where George made some freshman mistakes and some...

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    All I can say is that this was a really disappointing loss. The defense was BAD, the officiating was BAD, and the meltdown that we all knew was coming was BAD. Boston College is not a bad team, but if we want to level up in the ACC, these are the games we have to win at home, and we didn't get...

    1/6 - MBB vs. Boston College

    BC is a solid team according to the metrics. They rank ahead of us in most polls/rankings (90 in KenPom and 82 in NET). Quinten Post is having a monster year and Harris and Zackery can light it up. My strategy would be to get Post in foul trouble by going at him with Ndongo and Claude.

    1/3 - MBB at FSU

    Well, I can't say that I am surprised by the outcome. On the road against a talented team that just lost a game they shouldn't have (feeling like their backs are up against the wall) with a lot of length and a propensity to cause turnovers...all of that pointed towards a loss, but I was hopeful...

    January 1, 2024 Mid-Season Evaluation

    You are correct--this next stretch of games will tell us much about the team. And the optimism you have about CDS' emphasis on toughness and the veteran nature of the team is what leads me to predict a winning record in the ACC. It probably won't be enough to make the Big Dance, but it would...

    January 1, 2024 Mid-Season Evaluation

    Happy New Year, GTSwarm! Since we have hit a bit of a new year lull in the season, I thought it would be a good time to check in on the numbers and see how the team is doing so far. Feel free to add your analysis to my amatuer take as well. Record: 8-4 (1-0) -This is probably around...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    He is full effort every second he is on the court. He also has great touch around the basket, a "nose for the ball," a really good defender and a capable passer too (although I have seen him pass up layups to pass to the perimeter a few times too often!). We are lucky to have him and he is...
