Thoughts from being there: - Alvarado did not start - but played rode bike most of time while on sideline. Did not notice anything in his play to indicate significant injury - Cole did not dress - Defense in first half was very good - got hands on a lot of balls, and made them take tough...

Thoughts on what I saw tonight: - CJP is right - this team can be a very good defensive team. I don't think as good as two years ago, but much better than average. - Banks really helps anchor the defense, plus an additional shot blocker when AD is not in (or in foul trouble) ----- Ogbonda...

I was there, comments/thoughts Started - Jose, Shembari, CGB, Cole, AD Devoe did not dress, but was walking - no boot/limp. Banks also did not dress. Jose - Agree with comment that team looked lost in half court when he was not out there. Looked good, made couple three pointers early 2nd half...

Things Pastner said of note: - Look for them to play 'positionless' this year - you may see guards inside some, bigs on perimiter ... he has a lot of players that can play multiple positions and intends to use that to make matchups hard for other teams, more than one person capable of playing...

Very interesting read!!! Shows the get old - stay old strategy .. when paired with good coaching and ability to develop players can lead to a lot of success.

Luckily, we don't need a home run next year - and I am not expecting one. Adam Smith was a home run - agreed. But looking back at who Gregory brought in ... Demarco Cox (someone of similar skill) would be 'good enough'. Big body, played defense, space eater, rebounded, scores a little. If he is...

Alston graduated from Lehigh in 3 years (my head hurts just thinking someone can do that) and has another year left to play if he wishes. Not sure how far along he is towards getting his graduate degree. Everyone expects Justin Moore to transfer at end of year, CJP probably tries to sign best...

I have to agree with Red on this one. Defenses are daring Wright to shoot from outside right now (I would too if I were them)... and he's taking the bait/shots way too easily. I have no problem if the shot clock is down to 5 or less and he's got it. Of the three's he shot last night, the only...

The one thing I discussed with a friend which might effect what teams do with their recruits- is to limit the number of players they can sign. You already have a limit of 13 on scholarship max. If you extend that to say only sign a max of 16 every 4 years (16 was picked out of the air) - that...

You're right in that no matter what the timeframe someone has to stay in college before being eligible for NBA draft - if it's more than 1 season there will be someone that breaks out that we'd all agree is ready to move on. Of course a kid could also sign to play and because of poor academics...

If NBA changes rules to be more like MLB, that could have some positive impact. Once you start paying college kids - it's a slippery slope and abuses will likely get worse than today. I am not against a student athlete getting a job - any non-athlete can get a job to help with expenses if they...

AD was not hurt - mostly a match up decision. AD's style of play is not suited well vs. UVA defense. UVA makes it hard to penetrate and you MUST move the ball quickly/decisively to get open shots ... not AD's strength (he struggled against them first time, and offense ground to a halt because of...

The rest of this season will be a grind at best most nights. Limited by depth and inconsistent 3-point shooting primarily. Hoping to win 1, if luck falls 2 rest of the way. I will be at the three remaining home games - all I expect is to see a team play hard and compete ... and see some progress...

I agree with Red's comments (as I find myself doing a lot). CJP made it clear early what his strategy was and that it would take 3-4 recruiting classes to get there. Jose looks like he will be solid 4 year starter - one of those players others will think 'he has not graduated yet'. PG play is...

No surprise on the line. UVA is really good. I expect to see GT play UVA even or slightly outplay them 30+ minutes of the night ... but unfortunately expect tos ee a 4-5 minute scoring drought each half (which we've seen against lesser defensive teams) which gives UVA enough margin to win...

Lammers is not a typical low post center. More of a Stretch 5. Most of his points down low were off rebounds or players penetrating and dishing to him ... he did not have the post up moves that others like Jacobs and Mitchell had a couple years ago ... Dirk fadeaway not withstanding. Lammers is...

Last night observations - I agree with all the defensive effort was really good. Notre Dame does as good a job as anybody at spacing and timing cuts ... that coupled with stacking the baseline (where this zone is weakest) led to some easy baskets .. but overall they ended up with a lot of tough...

CJP had stated his fourth year was the year to look at things - 'get old, stay old' .... so next years recruits will factor into that and important that he rounds out the positions with players that fit his style. Last year was an unexpected present - not many thought they would win 10 games...

Nice win - great to see Tadric step up and make a play - both Jose and he made right decision on last play (Jose initially looked at Lammers trailing but better option was Tadric, and Tadric chose to drive vs. settle for a jump shot). NW played some D similar to North Texas in they sagged off...

I was there. North Texas played Pack-line D most of the game- similar to UVA. Lammers ankle limited him - and we played a lot of small ball so very few offensive boards (I only remember two). They started out double teaming Lammers - with AD's man. AD took three or four WIDE open shots - they...
