From my seats, it looked like the first charge call on Devoe was a bad call, but the second one Devoe definitely initiated the contact (from my angle I could not tell if/how well the Nebraska player was set, but Devoe clearly initiated contact) .... What I will say is the refs last night were...

Games were moved that weekend to ensure the two teams in the ACC football championship game were NOT playing on Saturday - looking at revised schedule, there are two ACC games on Sunday - Clemson plays in one, and Virginia the other.

What I kept seeing first half was BC guard beating Devoe/Parham off dribble and getting into paint which caused problems. Second half, Moore guarded their point and for most part kept him out of paint and made others try to get past the first line of defense. When they did - Banks did great job...

Spot on. Great assessment. This strategy gets you a team that is in the tournament consistently (i.e. most years). It is what CJP said he wanted to do when he got here, and he said he felt is was the best way for GT to compete year-in and year-out. You need the one/done or someone that is (and...

Having seen Didenko on the court in person twice now (Ga College and Elon), he is better than I expected. I do see him becoming ACC calliber wing over time, but not ready for big minutes yet. I do not see him playing a lot this year. He is a (tall) small forward that 'can' play stretch 4...

Thoughts ... Any road win in the ACC is a good win! We played like an 'old team' - did not panic when we got down early. From middle of first half on we were the better team. Yes they had two starters out, Usher was also out and would have played big minutes for us as well. The good - Nice...

I was there - some thought and comments. Starting 5- Banks, Moses, Moore, Phillips and Jose. --- Devoe and Usher did not play Not sure anyone played more than about 20 minutes - multiple different type of lineups (small, big, etc.). Pushed ball and played faster than last few years, will be...

Dead on! Problem (good problem) we havenot had in a long time. Only concern would be if Banks went down for significant time (injury).

Totally agree. You need size to defend inside, rebound, block/alter shots, etc. While size and an effective center helps on offense (score inside, offensive rebounding, make teams collapse so you can kick out for open 3's, etc), it is not as important as on defensive end. You can design an...

Good update - thanks for posting. I know the team is going to Spain in August - any idea if there will be a way to see those games (even if delayed)? I recall people posted links to games in Bahamas a few years ago (no announcers, but you could watch the game and get idea were the players were at).

Exempt tournaments (Hawaii tournament), allow the teams to play one more game against a team in the tournament within so many (I think 14) days of the tournament. Ball State game is the '4th' game there for GT. I have not seen tourney brackets, but assume Ball State is in the 'other' half of the...

Are we playing a '4th' game against one of the teams in the Hawaii tournament (rules allow for that - usually a team in the other 'half' of bracket)? ACC-Big 10 Challenge - Assume GT is playing in it this year - and likely a home game given road game this past season - I know pairings get posted...

Backcourt - having Parham allows Alvarado and Devoe to play less minutes - which I see as a plus. CJP has shown he will ride a hot hand, so if any of three are having a good night they will get more minutes and conversely if someone is having an off night, or foul trouble, they will get less...

A couple more losses than I expected, but hit my target for ACC wins. With Okogie - this team wins 3-5 more games - probably into NIT. Not having him helps going forward as others got minutes they would not have. ACC was tougher than usual this year and the schedule rotation did us no favors...

The two things which have concerned me all year are the number of turnovers and number of offensive rebounds we give up - both translate to the other team getting more shots than GT .... 26 more might have been the largest difference this year - but it is something I always look at in the box...

Cole and Wright both have improved from last year - I assume that credit goes to Coach Reveno. However, neither is yet to the stage that they are ACC calliber starters - Wright is better on defensive end, Cole a lot more advanced on offensive end. My concern is not that they have not improved...

I agree with Bradley's article. CJP has done a good job maximizing what he has. Defense is very good - Offense is a train wreck most nights. What he does not have is a 'go to' scorer (Okogie would have been that person this year if he stayed). One go to scorer changes a lot on the offensive end...

Nice write-up! I've been to games in Cameron three times - one was a GT game (in the Travis Best vs. Bobby Hurley days.. where we won the first half and last 15 minutes ... but the first 5 of the second half had Cremins calling time outs!). Definitely a unique place - and on short list of best...

Hard to judge this one by looking at stats for this one. First half team took care of ball - got up 30 early in second half and CJP played a lot of different lineups and gave playing time to many. We did not shoot many threes. Movement/cuts were really good first half and early second until game...

I was there, totally agree with the statement. D was pretty good most of the game, PV made some tough shots and had several shot clock violations. First half (and part of second), offense stood around and relied too much on someone beating their man - cuts were passive, Banks/AD did not...
