Pastner made a bet last night he could outscore BC and he won. That was all about getting his offense in gear. IMHO while Usher at the elbow (whether he was the 5 or not) did make the offense run much better than any big including Howard, he still got a huge and really unexpected boost from...

If we need to play players who are not ready right now so that they can learn then we are not executing on "Get Old Stay Old" - we are executing on a "build up and accept a rebuild" strategy. "Staying Old" means guys are ready for their role when their year comes around and they are ready to...

FWIW if that were the case I would have won the 100 meter dash at the olympics. For a big like Saba to get faster and more coordinated with his feet it is a bit of time for his body to catch up and a gradu load of jump rope, squats, box drill and whatever else they have in the dungeon. They...

Interesting reading the different perspectives today. For the heck of it I'll give my reality: 1) The issues on this team go way beyond just the 5 spot. Beyond a functional 5, it was pretty well known we had to have the PG spot step up and have the young uns come in as legit scoring threats...

Damn this is serious post 😳 This isn’t his best effort but last year gets him a legit extension and grace through this year at least. He is a year behind in recruiting so he has work to do this offseason On another level though we are last in the ACC at 0-2 in large part because we played UNC...

Actually this is a game you want to see Teddy. He doesn't defer to Rat as much as others. Still an *** and will make horrendous calls but it isn't in deference to Rat.

This is a different issue than Coleman/Kelly. From what I have seen, I don't think Howard would hit 40% of a 15-18 foot jumper though I recognize it would be very helpful if he could. Saba I haven't seen try enough to make any judgement. So I do think it is coaching saying to at least...

Yep - that is his major issue. He has above average handles and elite vision but unless he is open court it is hard to really utilize that. The other thing I expected to see was a lot more physical development - stronger and more explosive. Looks same as last year. The upside for him is...

You are right about the 3 pt shooting percentages and even Usher is shooting .368 for the year from 3 - give him credit for improvement. GT is overall shooting .374 from 3 point land - good for 4th in the ACC as far as percentage goes. So I agree the data shows we have pretty good shooters. I...

I think you are right about the set. We did use it some last year though I don't remember how well we did with it. Against GSU it opened up the mid range drive game for Usher and Devion in particular. Long as they didn't drive all the way to the rim they had one on one opportunities to shoot...

Well that sucks

And to you as well

I take your point. Several times down court the team stood around and watched him hit fade aways in the lane. You were right about the horn sets. Glad I got to see them.

I'll take the win. But our offensive sets suck. We are trying to run our offense through 3 different 5's who were not supposed to be any kind of offensive focus this year. I don't understand the rational for that. Devoe got ungodly frustrated trying to go one on everyone tonight and thank...

Down a few guys to Covid protocols 😳

I too think we may (should) see more of Saba I Also will be interested to see if we will see less of the modified Princeton It would be great if we can force more TOs or otherwise find ways to get out in transition

Uh oh - hope no repercussions with the good guys.

Both Howard and Saba have improved. I actually think Saba deserves more minutes but that is a rabbit trail to the core issue. Neither of these guys have the skill set to be the "point" person in our modified Princeton set. Neither are particularly adept ball handlers or passers. Nor are...

Seeing USC -8 for tomorrow Thought it might be higher but guess Vegas is reflecting USC’s lack of SOS

This was an AAU style game with one team simply saying we are going to out athlete you. Turn you over and push you out of any offensive set or rhythm. And that is exactly what they did. In the second half they sucked the life out of us which was really disappointing Bubba would have been...
