Watching on TV - The first ACC title in 85 In person - I was at the 21 Championship in Greensboro - and I will never forget the look of happiness on Jose Alvarado's face as he lay on the floor celebrating.

If I could ask CDS one question, it would be something I told a friend around Christmas ... GT forces very few turnovers from our opponents - and recently I saw we were near the bottom of the NCAA in forcing turnovers. My question would be - How do you plan to address this next season? The zone...

My thoughts from being there Starters - Abram, Kelly, Reeves, Gapare (even though I think Ndongo will start once healthy and ready), and Dowuona. First off the bench -Deebo and Sacko. George and Murphy also played. If Ndongo or Claude were healthy - I suspect one of the would have started and...

I said NIL was going to get out of control when they announced it because there are no (next to no) rules and guardrails. Allows exactly what you said - for a deep pocket alum to impact a coach's ability to recruit - sign players that school probably would not have before NIL. In 3-5 years, you...

Interesting probable hire - some quick thoughts 1. AD appears to have had this one lined up before letting CJP go .... which a lot here stated, and I agreed, needed to be done (if you let CJP go now, you better have the replacement lined up) 2. Stoudamire's staff will be important - usually new...

Spot on - With Kyle, Lance, Miles, Deebo, Deivon and Blue - we should be sold on the perimeter next year - three and in right situation four of them on the court.. Jaylon Moore needs to become more consistent - because you do need more size against some teams. What I am looking at is what CJP...

I don't know much about Ben McCollum - but this is the type of coach I would prefer GT go after. When you look at Wake, VT, Miami - all brought in coaches that were really good coaches and achieved significant success where they were. All of them seem to adapt their system to the players to get...

Lower level was basically full - students filled all their seats. Upper level along sidelines were almost full - upper level end zones were sparse (people there, but probably 500-800 empty seats mostly upper level end zone. As for mix - about 1/4 UGA red and rest GT - and it was as loud as I...

Agree w/GTJason - listening to the game it was hard to tell how good both teams are - look for posts from those that could watch it or were there. Rode Kelly down the stretch - and executed when they needed to at the end. This can only help a young team grow and mature.Concerned over lack of...

Thoughts from being there and talking with couple other folks at the game Starters - Howard, Deebo, Terry, Smith, Sturdivant First of the bench - Kelly and Franklin (playing the 'center spot') Also played significant minutes - Maxwell and Moore Meka was dressed, and out there in warm ups - but...

Most likely Jaylon Moore plays behind Franklin at the '4' spot (how much depends on his development in the off season) - possibly Deebo getting minutes there if they decide to go small. Based on his skill set, almost no chance Meka plays the power forward (limited offensive skills, less mobile...

While I agree wit most comments on the individuals - what I am most anxious to see is what CJP is going to run offensively. The comments in other posts that we're ditching the 5 at the elbow being a distributor - is greatly needed (Howard/Meka are no Ben Lammers with the ball out there). What...

This is heading right where I feared it would when announced - boosters at programs with deep pockets will effectively create a salary cap for their coach/team .... In football, no way GT competes with most SEC schools, or Clemson, or a few others .... In Basketball, The perrinial powers will...

The game next season is supposed to be the first game in Ga State's new areana. I remember going to the game at Ga State when Hewitt took the team there - was loud and packed ... I expect the same for this one (if I can get tix I will be there wearing gold). Will be difficult test for GT early...

Enjoy - I had been several times before, but got to go to Greensboro last year for first time in many years. It was great to actually see live basketball (first time all season), and of course the right team won! I sent Coach Pastner an email afterwards - telling him I will never forget the...

Agree - no question that foul deserved Flagrant 2 - no play on the ball, and Duke player could have been very seriously injured. I am glad the ACC suspended him for a game.

If this years team had a center producing 1/2 to 2/3 of what Moses Wright did last year - this team is above 500 in the ACC. The point guard play was shaky early in the season, but has improved considerably and is not significant cause for concern. The two problems I see leading to most losses...

You are right that some teams play off Howard/Saba when they get the ball. Both have shown they can drive to basket if you get too close. As for the jumper - Saba can make it already - but suspect he has short leash if he starts taking it unless late in shot clock. Howard does not have a...

Glad you can make it in person! Concessions - standard ballgame stuff - hot dogs, popcorn, chips, candy, cokes, etc. There is also Chick-fil-A (limited menu) and Sonny's BBQ - both are in end zone to the left of the main entrance. Not sure what else in on the other side as I go that way to my...

Spot on! It's a lot easier for those of us who have been at the games and seen it first hand vs just looking at stats/highlights (they don't show highlights of player getting beat defensively often). As others get to see the games once more widely televised ... and if Kelly gets significant...
