[QUOTE="spdrama, post: 995094, member: 3280"] I didn’t get home until halftime & followed the game on my phone. Thought they were alive, having fun & starting a romp at 24-14. Having seen so many of their games, I could tell from just score changes that turnovers, poor rebounding and weakening defense let VA not just come back, but take control. The first thing I noticed watching the second half was body language. I didn’t see that “never give up” intensity on either end that has been so prevalent in other games. I didn’t see the Cincinnati or UGA games, but every game I did see on TV and live at MSG, I enjoyed watching them, win or lose. I didn’t enjoy that second half one bit and my body language reflected that in front of the TV no different than theirs did on the court. It’s contagious. They looked to be resigned to a loss shortly after the second half began. I didn’t see any fight and thought they looked tired. Way too young, athletic and in top physical shape to be physically tired, so I attribute it to being mentally tired. Nobody feels sorry for young men who get scholarships with or without NIL and get a free eduction to play ball every day, but a lot is asked of them and whatever the problem was, it looked like the entire team was suffering from it. CDS’s presser is 18 minutes long. In between his lines I get the feeling he knows most or all of the ACC is better than GT and he drives them hard and demands toughness in practice & games just to get them ready to compete & maybe steal a win occasionally. I saw a post where some mentioned that GT might be the best 9-8 team in the country. In most games they are playing so far above their collective talent that they look so much better than they are to everyone. But when that blogger wrote that, according to NET, only one 9-8 team in the entire country (Xavier) was ranked above Tech. So that assessment, much like fan expectation was highly exaggerated. New opponent, different game Tuesday. Looking for this team to make them fun to watch again, win or lose. Just need to patiently get through the low spots of 2023-24. Thinking about where this program looks to be heading in the next few years is a big help getting there. [/QUOTE]
