As it pertains to your point of did they get the ball to the post - no it isn't relevant what Miami did in the last 5 min of a beat down. They were not into the game and trying to be aggressive. Ball didn't go to the post or really go anywhere for them. Geez - not sure why this is such a big...

I don't know why you are so focused on things like "abused" and the like. And what Miami did in the last 5 min of a beat down isn't relevant. Weird take but whatever. Saba is not playing for a reason and I don't even really think it is that controversial or much of a "bad" comment to point...

I didn't say "couldn't even guard him" but if that is your take so be it. I said watch him try to guard him and you will see the issues of strength, footspeed (and explosiveness though I don't think he will ever be anywhere near as explosive as say Moses). I don't care if the Miami kid scored...

Well you and I are seeing different games Saba may weigh 250 but he does not have the strength yet to play the 5 Or the foot speed. Watch him try to guard and you will see it. On the other side, I think he has a high ceiling with his ball skills and shot, just will take time to get there

if you watched Saba try and guard the Miami center yesterday, it was obvious he didn't have the strength to bang with him or even really guard him. Randy Waters focused on it. building that kind of strength to play at this level is not just a one post season training, and almost certainly will...

The model for Saba is Huff at UVA. Long and able to handle the ball and stretch the floor. Recognize that the Huff you see now is a fifth year senior and he didn't really get minutes till his Jr year. Looking at Saba it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't take the same for him to build his...

Miami sucked. We played well. Got at least a taste for Saba. Was hoping for more. Good win - now it is time to see if we get the same NET bump that UNC and Duke did for similar wins

Usher has been cleared to play. this game scares me. Miami has played inconsistently but their highs are a lot higher than a team with their net ranking should have. they took down Duke in a couple of others. I hope we're ready cuz we likely will need to be

Same with UNC Since we beat them want them as high as possible

I try not to say this very often but this shouldn't be close - if it is indeed played. BC is down to 5 or 6 scholarship players and their second leading scorer was just suspended from the team for Covid violations. I just hope our NET ranking doesn't go down after this game - regardless of...

Miami is all risk and no gain. If you want to move up in Net we have to play Quad 1 or 2.

They have been overly patient for 7 years. What's another month? :rolleyes:

At this point that doesn't help us at all. We need the game against VT as a lone remaining quad 1 game. That moves the meter with the dance committee. Beating NCSU at this stage is white noise.

Curious about your comment? For baseline I don't see any way Jose will be considered for the NBA - doesn't have the measurables. So from a purely financial perspective he can go play overseas and make close to $100K likely with some expenses paid or he can stay in college for another year but...

Nice gritty win. Fun to watch with lots of swings in momentum. Good to see us both make some shots at the end and also get credit for being aggressive going to hoop (foul advantage). Moses is the obvious player of the game with 24 points but I would actually put Khalid as the player of the...

The role for Moses would be a 7/8 guy on the second team primarily to bring energy to the second unit. Wouldn't be a guy who they run plays for but look for him to play good D from the 4 spot, rebound and get points where he can. He has the length and athleticism to play to that role. The...

I don't get all the comparisons between Gregory and Pastner. The standard isn't to be better than Gregory - that doesn't matter. The standard is can Pastner get us to be a routine NCAA tourney team. End of the year we will take stock recognizing that with the current financial position of the...

if ever there was a must win game this is it. Key for us is keeping up with Champenny and keeping our energy

I wouldn't go as deep in the roster as you would but I do (obviously) agree with the "feel" part of his substitutions. Most guys want to know what their role is and while it may vary by game, the 6/7 and let's throw in 8 guy function better IMHO when they know generally when they are going to...

Personally, I don't think this is that big an issue. There are a lot more GTs, UVAs, Dukes that play 7 maybe 8 guys than there are FSUs that play 10 or 11. I took his comment about FSU as an attempt at humor more than a serious comment but that could be just me. I do think he doesn't use his...
