Red, Dead on assessment as usual. For AD to play big minutes, there needs to be 4 scoring threats on the court with him, He does play defense and rebound much better than the freshman at this point, and does not make as many mistakes - but we can't expect him to score - credit to him for...

Good listen - thanks for making us aware of it!

It depends where the team is coming from. For this GT team - which no one expected to win more than 12-13 games (many posted single figures), NIT is great - and probably better for them. For teams with a lot of experience/talent (i.e. Indiana) it is NCAA or bust as they showed. NIT is great for...

exactly! and yes they work well and game flows better. probably should go ahead and make it 4 quarters.

CJP vs. Gregory ... Recruiting - obvious weakness for CBG was his inability to close deal on high level high school talent. To CBG credit he did outstanding job recruiting the grad xfers - but that is how you fill holes and unfortunately was becoming his go to strategy. CBG did recruit high...

Scary game coming up (but preferred over a trip to Athens) - if Belmont gets open looks they can shoot it ... they will shoot likely 30+ 3's anyway so the matchup zone won't see a lot of time in this one. Best way to defend them is tight man to man on the perimeter (don;t leave your man to help...

Yes they can schedule each other home and home, but as you correctly noted rarely do. Example - Gonzaga and Memphis played home and home for a few years. ESPN also had their Bracket Buster schedule for a few years which setup and televised some of the better matchups. Generally only Gonzaga...

Red's comments are dead on as usual. Crowd was great last night - probably less than 1000 from sellout and less than 1000 NC State folks in the house (I sit behind the visitor bench - and sometimes (Syracuse, Lousiville, and UNC games this year in particular feel like I was at a road game)...

I think we could see him as others said at the point. He is fine bringing the ball up, but not the distributor/passer Heath is or MGH was last year.

I was there - first 6-7 players looked good, other than Q could not hit anything (saving them for BC I hope). Good energy and put it away early - real early. End of the bench really struggled - but we knew that. Tusculum had decent size (6' 10" center, as tall as us on wings), but other than one...

I agree with Red. 5-3 rest of the way and they should be in - that means winning (at least) one on the road - of the four left - Wake and Miami are the most winnable, I do not like our chances going to Notre Dame and Syracuse (who appears to be a great team at home and mediocre on the road). All...

Place was really loud - and like others said, nice to see it full and 90 percent GT fans ... and full student section way before tip! Things which impressed me today - how well we attacked the ND zone. A couple bad possessions early against it, but adjusted and had clear plan of how to attack...

We're seeing good coaching this season for sure. From the Shorter game to today, this may be the most improvement I have ever seen in a team (in fairness the bar was almost touching the ground after the Shorter game). It's clear CJP and staff are recruiting hard and has chances to land more...

4 years at GT. He can be a GREAT college player. He's already very good. A lock for All-ACC Freshman team - but won't be Rookie of the Year (Dennis Smith will get that). For comparison - Dennis Smith at NC State - he's the best freshman (talent wise) in the league and almost a sure one and...

Loudest the Dome has been all year, hope that came across to those watching on TV. The first half was possibly the best half of basketball we've seen here by GT in a long long time - other than FT shooting. Several folks commenting on the passing, movement "with purpose", timing of plays (how...

What I like in the matchup - FSU plays man (very little zone) and has trouble with dribble penetration ... JO and Jax should have chances to penetrate - now will/can they finish of find someone for open 3's (that can make them), or get fouled. As for bigs -I agree Ojo will muscle Lammers, he's...

I had chance to go to a game at FSU a couple weeks ago (big win over Duke ... always fun watching Duke get run out of a gym). I think we may ,match up better than we did against UVA - but not optimistic on a win. FSU is deep - really deep - so can't wear anyone out. They do settle for 3's -...

I chuckle at Pastner's comments .... but KG01 is dead on- it's Pastner's coaching style and he knows Ben can be even better. Being at the game in Blacksburg last night - I can tell you every VT fan I spoke with on the way out were raving about Lammers. None of them mentioned any other GT player...

I was there in Blacksburg last night (perfectly timed business trip to Roanoke), and need to thank the VT usher who kept shooing away the VT Students that tried to sneak down behind the GT bench but was kind enough to let me come down and sit right behind the GT bench with about 10 other Jacket...

Wow! Effort was off the charts tonight! I did not think we could keep scoring in 2nd half like we did in first half -but NC State does not play D ..... Gottfried has made their fans forget that 51 point loss to UNC ... double digit losses to BC and GT.
