They moved away from mover blocker to take advantage of Huff's perimeter shooting skills. Much more a modern offense with Huff causing the floor to be spread. They also have more deep shooting elsewhere - especially with Hauser. So it would have been a mistake to stay with the mover blocker...

on now

Very nice summary. IMHO the key matchup is Jose versus Clark. They both are the ones who make their teams go. Since they shoot too well for us to stay in zone all game, Jose will have to stay in front of Clark as that is what makes their offense go. Against Clemson we were dogged in trying...

I was thinking of the Lammers comparison when I called it "easy". Quite honestly I forgot about the Okogie comparison so that does muddy the adjective a bit so you are right in your semantics. As I never really saw Lammers as an NBA prospect as a second team 5, it lead to my statement. This...

Sounds weird but the NBA potential isn't based on production. Lot of guys drafted who haven't done gradu yet. As much as I like Lammers, he doesn't have the raw athleticism that NBA centers require. He had a great sense of timing and anticipation for rim protection, along with a nice shot to...

That was an easy call. He was the only one to have the physical measurements of length and athleticism that are the prerequisites for being considered for the NBA. They are not big on "good solid college players".

I agree with you wholeheartedly that it is a rough stretch even in this year's ACC. 3 wins means I am assuming a win over Duke and 4 wins means we knock off Duke and either UVA or FSU. Obviously tall orders. The issue to me is we have to make up for our early sins and in this year's ACC...

To me, the vision for Saba is the big we are playing against Saturday. Huff is a long, somewhat quick but smart 5 who can hit a 3 on a pop out. It basically means the opposing 5 cannot help on drives and is a big part of the modern spread/drive/kick offense. If he can defensively hold down...

Last night was a really good win. The kind of win we have to have if we are going to make up for our early sins and sniff the bubbly this year. As have pointed out, our next 6 are crucial and we have to have at least 3 wins - and 4 would be really helpful to keep on the bubbly track. The ACC...

Let's actually make the dance once before we have that talk.

We've already beaten UNC, Duke's zone and performance last night didn't look good at all. Pitt is better than given credit for but we will live/die there based on who guards Chempenny (I know I screwed the spelling). NCSU is more up and down than bit coin. Lot of bad BB with BC, ND, SYR, Wake...

Betting line started as a pick em. Now a 1.5 to 2 point Clemson bet. That likely will move a bit more as it becomes clearer who won't play for the Jackets.

I understand Jose and Moses are going to go. who it is that isn't is up in the air as far as I know. take it for what you're paying for it though 😉

The concepts are interesting but note that several times he stated you had to have specific types of players to run this - especially shooting to keep defenses honest. We do try to run the modified Princeton based offensive set that emphasizes cutting but quite honestly we don't have enough...

As of Jan 12 Lunardi doesn't have us anywhere in his brackets. Including not in the 8 on the outside looking in. Work to do starts Saturday.

Yep, Pastner has nothing to do about it at this stage. it is all about ACC protocols

for what it's worth, Kentucky is three and 0 since they got in conference

Right now our % of 3PT shots is 39% which is well past the middle line. However, our 3 Pt % made is 34% which is still below the dotted line. Overall much closer to "modern" basketball but still not a great 3Pt team.

I am thinking that may be what they are doing Build a bubble in Indianapolis and have the teams do their academics remotely. Makes sense for covid - not so much for lab/hands on classes

we'll have to defend the perimeter and three-point line against them. Do that and we should be fine
