    Golf team starting strong

    What hurt us today is our performance the par 5's where we usually excel because of our length. We actually shot -7 on the par 4's as well as the par 5's. We led the field in pars on the day but were middle of the pack on birdies. Looking at the scoring it seems like we were playing safe and not...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    Maybe the correlation to winning improves if you just look at the FT% in the last two minutes as compared to the whole game.

    Golf team starting strong

    Golf team doing so so at the opening round of the regional today. As of right now we sit tied for 5th (top 5 move on) but we are only 1 stroke from 3rd. #2 UNC is 5 strokes ahead of us with a couple holes left for today. The guys are playing pretty steady with nobody shooting over par. We just...

    Tournament Resume

    I always thought the reason for the change to this format had more to do with limiting the number of games teams had to play before heading to the NCAA Tournament. Back when it was double elimination teams could blow up their staff with the number of games they had to play especially if the...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    He led the team in free throw attempts but he made less than 69% of them. You talk about putting him in midrange but the 4 out offense doesn't do that. And even if we did put him in midrange as you suggest he almost has to shoot because he had the worst assist to turnover ratio on the team. Look...

    Damn I hope not. We really need him in the lineup. Guessing he will rest and rehab it until we play UVA on Thursday. I did see him standing along the rail later in the game and he didn't look like he was hurting. Like you said, hopefully it was just precautionary.

    Great win today with the bullpen aces pulling it out. But the injuries had me worried. Hopefully Reid just has a bruised shin from banging it against the rail and will be good to go. Anybody see what happened to Compton? I left the TV for a minute and a couple innings later heard the announcer...

    Currently we sit in 10th position. Should we win tomorrow and VT lose to Clemson we would move into 9th. I really hate that teams don't make up the weather cancellations. Could mean the difference between making the league tournament or not. Also, noticed UVA has no Tuesday game this week before...

    Miles Kelly Testing the Waters

    Really? I don't think he is anything like Walton. I doubt Josh even knows who Jerry Garcia was much less the Grateful Dead. Josh is a story teller and goofy enough to be funny. Walton is a west coast hippie. Walton sounds like he tries to be funny while Pastner doesn't come off like he even...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    When you shoot 4 for 35 from the three point line nobody is going to guard you there leaving a defender to back off and clog the shooting lanes for the remaining perimeter shooters. In a 4 out offense you can't afford that. Not sure if coach suggested anything to Moore or if he figured it out on...

    Curious what made you think the team would be better given the fact that we lost 6 position players (plus our DH) and our entire weekend starting rotation. Most teams would struggle with that. Add to that we have been plagued by so many injuries to both the fielders and pitchers I don't think we...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    I'm not sure if is a coincidence the two lowest three point shooters of players that received an average of more than 20 points per game have entered the portal. Sounds to me like coach places a premium on outside shooters in his 4 out offense.

    Last Night's radio broadcast of the game

    Had a chance to take my 11yr old grandson to the second Pitt game which was played Saturday. In the bottom of the sixth with Deleo at bat he hit a screamer into the netting behind the dugout. which caromed off the netting and made a beeline straight for my grandson sitting in the first row...

    GT Vollebees

    Yeah I think coach has shown she will put the best players on the floor no matter who they are or where they come from. I think the South American players have a bit of an advantage because they grow up playing a style of volleyball that coach Collier prefers to run. She has also demonstrated...

    Not sure they will struggle. Looking at the new player bios these players have a ton of experience and much of it on an international level. The transfers from Texas and TCU have some good experience on the collegiate level. What will be interesting is to see if we go with a larger and deeper...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    I think you are underestimating Reeves. He is a matchup problem and I expect he will be on the floor as much as Kelly. Look for those two to see the majority minutes at the 2G and wing spots while the others fill roles around them at the guard position.

    Compton back in the lineup along with Rubenstein getting out of his slump does something else that is very important. It lets Jackson bat 9th. He has been fairly steady at the plate plus he does a much better job than Minnick or some of the other bottom of the lineup choices at hitting the ball...

    2023-2024 ROSTER???

    I really don't see the need for another true PG. AS previously noted we will run a system that is 4 or 5 out. In that system you want spot up shooters and guys that can take their man off the dribble and go to the basket. That is more of finding matchups that favor us than a point guard standing...

    Golf team starting strong

    We did. Hiroshi Tai eagled the 18th hole to tie for first at -9. Tech had 4 golfers in the top 11. And all 5 guys shot under par. As said before match play is a different animal so we need to carry this momentum into the matches. I assume they will only have time to get the semis in and the...

    Golf team tearing it up this morning opening up a huge lead. Currently in the lead by 12 shots @ 23 under with about 4 holes to play. Second place Wake is 11 under. If the standings remain the same Tech will start match play against UVA who has a 1 shot lead over Duke. Wake and FSU would be the...
