UNC wishes they could play half the defense LV does. Mack is a really good coach.

Why was it irritating? Wasn't trash talking that I could tell - he and Banks seemed to be going at each other in a good game. I thought he played well and simply took what we were giving him on the offensive boards.

I would be really surprised if I hope you are wrong but I am afraid you are right

They don't need to be leaders. They need to be scorers. On the coaching side, if we don't have a pure PG we need to go to a more motion based offense to get movement and engineer shots for DeVoe and Parham out of the play.

You are looking solely at the offensive end - and on that end I agree with you. He needs to score. But on the defensive end he is our best on ball defender to stop penetration. DeVoe is OK on man D and Bubba is really not good at all. They are a big part of the reason Banks has so many...

When teams like BC are playing 4 or 5 out it makes the 4 guy for us have to really sluff off in order to be able to block out the center that Banks just left. UVA does a good job of this generally but their guards are outstanding at making a second rotation if the ball gets kicked to the 4 guy...

Parham is not used to doing what Jose does. He is a scorer. Same as DeVoe. We are seeing you can't just drop either one of them into Jose's role in the system we run with Jose. Both are skilled but not pure PGs

We won tonight because DeVoe basically went street ball and junked the "offense" to play one on one. One pick like the last play and then didn't give up the ball until he got a shot off. I know we are missing Jose but we shouldn't be reduced to the offense we are seeing just because he is...

Multiple opportunities to yell at the TV. Glad I have too much money in it to throw things at it. Massively outrebounded. No excuse. Offense degenerated into DeVoe going 1 on whoever wanted to be in the neighborhood. Worked tonight - won't going forward. Someone has to step up on the...

Looking for some good news after today

When you have your backup SG having to be your starting PG I would hope you do some things to help him - especially when he isn't big enough to penetrate routinely like you ask Jose to do. On the other side KY is thin and generally depends on dribble drive. IF we can pound the ball inside to...

If you mean we can't get anyone better because we don't have the finances to commit then OK. Once we get our finances and contract in order we should be a realistic destination for a legit ACC coach. But we have to be able to commit which we cannot now without a big check stepping up

I expect Carey will get some love but I haven't looked at any mocks to know SFA guards were thick and quick enough to stay in front. They didn't reach or do stupid stuff so they got away with a lot of physical play - both sides did but SFA was much more aggressive. Most of all they were thick...

I would say the moral of the story is this crop of Duke freshman isn't the same level as last year's crop of Duke freshmen. I will be really floored if they have 3 of the top 10 NBA picks on this team.

Oh my god. Didn't expect this. Steven F (for Fing) Austin takes down Duke. They deserved it too. Outplayed them in Cameron. Just wow

Therefore Dayton is really good

If you watched him play last game it wasn't much of a question about him playing last night. I expect he was animated last night as that seems to be his persona but I don't for a second think he was ready to go. Any more than Lammers was ready to go the games he played his SR season on one leg.

Watched VT before switching over to GT. They are a lot of fun to watch. Small ball just like ARK but with a lot more movement and structure to their sets. They run a horn set that had MSU switching and making defensive mistakes routinely - no small feat with MSU defenses. Plus they had what...

I don't need Moses to be Rodman as we don't have the firepower to simply hide him on offense. But there are a lot of PFs that operate primarily in the 15-18 foot in range and are really good at setting picks, rolling, and most importantly passing the ball until they get a shot they can make...

, That is what I am worried about. We may be playing our way out of any consideration before the ACC starts - baring some miracle run type of ACC season.
