I agree with everything you said but it didn't answer my question. What was the defensive adjustment you refer to that BC made to "better cover the hot outside shooters AND shut down our inside game? What you describe above is Basketball 101 but it does not answer the question of what adjustment...

This reinforces my assertion that college towns, like South Bend, have a huge advantage when it comes to attendance at sporting events. In addition to the fact that they don't have many other entertainment options like the universities (or institutes) located in metropolitan areas, the college...

I get all of that, but unless she has aggravated that injury I don't believe either Pierce or Boezi played at the level of Mogridge before her injury. Neither of them are near the shot blocker that Liv was before the injury nor do either of them serve as well.

I was listening to the scions podcast which has a lot of good content on the Volleybees. During the podcast there was a discussion of the lineup for next year and there was no mention of Mogridge playing in the middle (unless I missed it). Did I miss something? Is she still on the team? Just...

I'm not trying to be a smartazz but what adjustment did they make to better cover the outside shooters AND close out the inside game? Seems every coach in the nation would love to follow that script. It seems to me that if you are going to better cover the hot outside shooters then you are...

Purcell hasn't helped them much this year losing to Auburn, Western Carolina, Georgetown, Citadel and NC State all at home. Only 5-4 at home this season.

Coleman has never gone to the line much mostly because he has spent most of his time outside the 3 point line. Before last game Ndongo was at 70% from the line which isn't bad for a big man. I also seem to remember him hitting some big late game free throws during our long road trip. I think he...

Speaking of Notre Dame, how have they gotten so bad so quickly? I know they pulled out a win the other day, but for most of the season they have been pretty bad. Not quite Louisville bad, but far from what they used to be. Was Brey that good of a coach or is the new guy just not cutting it?

I hope you are right and your post didn't jinx us!

My apologies for directing some of the response in your direction. I was trying to point out the flaws in some of the reasons not to go to the games. It sounds like some of the people who shared those reasons didn't want to go to the games anyway and were just searching for reasons why. When...

Our shooting numbers are pretty bad yet somehow we have managed to be in just about every game, except two, and had a chance to win right up until the end. This despite the poor shooting and lots of youth playing major minutes. As stated before, it feels like we have a shot to win every game we...

You make some good points but I have to disagree with a few things. For many years I made the trip from Buford down to the games, first taking my son when he was younger and then later my grandson. First, parking is easy. You just park in the building across the street in the Klaus parking deck...

Everyone keeps dumping on Kelly for his poor three point shooting which is obvious. I just want to give the guy credit for drastically improving his game in other areas this year. He is hitting the boards harder than he ever has and is a big reason why we are having such success on the boards...

NIL hard at work!

What I like about Reeves is his diversity. He shoots the three well but also does a good job of faking the three and driving to the basket. He also has shown to be very capable of pulling up and hitting the midrange jumper. On defense he hits the boards hard and isn't afraid to get in the face...

For me this team has exceeded my expectations. With a new coach and so many new players I really expected we would maybe be around a game or two over .500. I didn't expect us to already have wins against two ranked teams and I never expected us to beat Duke so early in the year. I didn't expect...

It makes sense from the perspective of try it and see what happens since nothing else we tried worked. Again I don't see how he could have done any worse than what anyone else had done. I get what has been said about Sacko being foul prone. But maybe that would have been the better alternative...

My rebuttal to your rebuttal is you have chosen two teams as your examples that, in general, do not play against stiff competition that you see in conferences like the ACC or SEC day in and day out. I'm wondering if that allows them to get by with less offensive skill as opposed to going up...

I agree with just about everything you said above. The only thing I took issue with starting with your original post is that you sounded like since she was on the Nebraska roster and 6'5" we should go after her. My response was simply just because she is that tall and on a top level team doesn't...

We already have a middle on the team that hits at a much higher % than that. Plus she is a good server. Mendelson didn't attempt a serve all year. You say she hit at a .300 clip when given a chance to play but you do know she played a bit more her freshman year and only hit at a .182 clip. Also...
