Can we get these friggin 8-year seniors out of college(sic) basketball? Just go get jobs man. Dayum. Attendance is up because the family section is so huge. And I don't mean moms and dads. It's wives, kids, grandkids and everybody else. Go home. Give some actual college kids a chance. Still holding on like my almost-40 year old brother in law still tryna be a "rapper".

And is it still a 'feel good story' with the Hunter Brothers? It can't be a feel good story 14 years in a row.

And I get it, Oglesby. You don't like Ndongo. I get it. But say his fkng name right, dumbarse.

It's not Bay Nu-dongo. You've done like 6 of our games. Do your freaking homework.

Nobody called your middling a** Og-less-bee. They respected you enough to look at the notes, I know for a fact you get provided, and learned to say your name right.

The best thing you can say about tonight is this team hasn’t quit. They played hard and legit defense. Now on the other side the offensive execution, scheme and results sucked. We need to find a way to help the guys we have get into a position where they can score. That means motion down screens whatever trick you got to help kids that are not in the primary scorer role. Or even a McCollum who needs help and is expected or was expected to be a primary score this year. He needs help to get shots

Sutton is a project right now, I am disappointed that coach doesn't run our offense to get Ndongo more touches of the ball in the paint more.

I’m usually the “there’s no such thing as a bad night in McCamish” guy but this is just laborious and not fun. You follow sports teams for emotional rollercoasters of ideally mostly highs but also some lows, but there’s no highs right now. We start the game and the “hope” dissipates by the first TV timeout. The students gave a great showing tonight but could not stay past 10:15 or 10:30 because it is simply not a fun use of time to be in McCamish right now, even for people who love the sport. We are at that point once again where I don’t wake up on home gamedays feeling giddy.

First the good. The defensive effort was outstanding. Mustaf, if he continues to improve his 3 pt shot is going to be a good player. The bad. We do not have an offensive scheme. Pass, hold the ball, dribble the ball, drive and take a bad shot. I mean. What the h*** is that. With Price we set 2 and sometimes 3 screens to get him an open shot. Do the same for Mcollum. And just shoot from 3 pt + 3 ft! It's better than turning it over trying to drive into a crowd. Wow..

The saddest part of this whole thing is that the kids are truly trying and giving it their best effort, but their best effort still has them losing by double digits night in and night out. That’s scary considering the supposed “talent” that’s on the floor and the fact that the ACC sucks outside of Duke this year.

I worry about a mass exodus to the transfer portal if we finish bottom-third in the ACC again. Crowds are non-existent minus the traveling teams’ fans, students have no desire to go to a game, and apathy is replacing anger. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve been less interested in Tech men’s basketball. I watched more games at the end of the Pastner era than I’ve watched this year.
