That was the kind of win we had to have to make the dance. Absolutely no margin for error left. The way we lost on a bank shot from the parking lot could well rip the heart out of this team. Almost good that we don't have a lot of down time to worry about it. If we still play with the same...
Clemson has been such a roller coaster team this year it is hard to figure out. Unfortunately they seem to be on the upswing part of the roller coaster which isn't what you want to see. We will have to play the same level of D we did at UVA but hit more shots. I do think the matchups will be...
FWIW his trouble usually comes when he tries to do the spin move close to the block/charge circle. He is too slow with it and by the time he gets that deep he has a lot of company. Great that he drives the paint, just needs a floater just south of the foul line or a better idea of where the...
I am really not getting some of the NET rankings. Drake suffers a Quad 3 loss and goes from 16 to 32. FWIW they have 16 wins including 4 Quad 2 wins.
On the other hand Colgate has only 7 wins, no wins in Quad 1 or 2 and a Quad 3 loss - and they went from 15 to 13 without playing. Makes you...
I am not worried about Colgate per se as I agree they have to win the Patriot League to get in. I am just put off by a system that is supposed to be at least a key metric or "the" key metric for determining who gets into the tourney having Colgate as the #15 team in the country. Makes me...
Colgate really rubs me the wrong way with this ranking system. Only 7 wins. No OOC wins so everything is in the Patriot league and they have a loss to Army. Ridiculous that they are still at 15 and went up one yesterday without playing. Wouldn't bother me except this is the nonsense the...
Again, I don't get the NET rankings/methodology. GT beats #70 ND at home and stays flat at 62. ND loses 2 slots to 72.
Clemson beats #46 Syr at home and gains 7 slots to 47. Syr loses 8 slots to 54.
UNC beats #66 Duke away game and gains 6 slots to #50 while Duke loses 4 to #70.
Fair...
I expect they went to the press for a couple of things. one when you're getting your arse handed to you you want to do anything you can to change up the whole tone and tenor of the game and that usually means going to a press. Second, while the couple of turnovers we got were great, the key...
They looked really deep into the abyss of no dance this year and decided to come back and take the game. Hard game to figure given the way we were playing defense but still give them all the credit in the world for finding a way to win.
I have to believe Pastner was directing them to play no...
Curiosity - we lose to #45 Louisville at their place and lose 6 slots to 61.
Duke loses to #162 Miami at their place and loses 4 slots to 66.
I have to admit I don't get the math on that one. Especially since the big losses holding us back are to 114 and 115 GSU and Mercer.
That score floored me. I thought Duke had finally put it together for this year and had their big guy back. Now I am more disappointed in our game as I was writing it off to Duke getting their sheist together.
I keep seeing this analogy and it really doesn't work compared to NCAA games. Even high end AAU tournaments are divided so the first couple of games are in pods against lower competition where the stars float and the bench plays a lot. There are then a couple of crossover games against similar...
That is why I keep hoping/complaining that I wish GT would run a couple of sets early on to get him an easy shot or two off specific picks/motion designed just for him. I don't worry about Jose or Moses but I do worry that he needs an early success to keep his head in the game.
I hope Bubba can guard Jones for at least some time each half to give Jose a break. As much energy/emotion as he left on the floor with FSU I would love to see him not have to go one on one with Jones all day long.
