12/16: GT vs. Penn State at The Garden

[AUFC]

12 assists (5 from NG) on 16 made baskets. Love to see that. Clean up the turnovers in the second half. This is a winnable game.

 

[ESPNjacket]

+16 in rebounding
+7 in offensive rebounds
Overcomes -5 in turnovers and steals

We turned up the intensity about halfway through the first half. We still need to improve on the screen part of our game. Watch them go over our screens all day long which means the rest of the defense doesn’t have to help

GT was tossing around some lazy passes early. After the first 10 minutes that has gone away.

The rebounding has been stout for sure.

I am glad they went small for a long time instead of playing 22. He is a load

 

[ESPNjacket]

Full blown panic against the press. Not good.

The two PG look is no good. They stink against the press and then nothing on offense. I think Deebo needs to be in on the press over Study.

 

[YlJacket]

Time to change the press break set up. We ain’t getting the ball where we need to on the inbound

 

[YlJacket]

They have been beating us over the top of pics all day long. You cannot be that lazy with the ball right there

 

[cpf2001]

Sturdivant has been rough on the offensive end the last five min or so

 

[ESPNjacket]

Sturdivant dribbling in place is going to lose this game.

Sturdivant dribbling in place is going to lose this game.

Shouldn't be allowed to touch the ball after the half court

I don’t understand why they changed the lineup the last couple minutes.

 

[pcmor]

I really think not being able to devise inbound plays must be a requirement every time we hire a coach. Going back to Cremins, I can't think of any program in the country across so many different coaches that's had such a difficult time getting the ball inbounds against pressure.

 

[YlJacket]

Not looking to make them pay for pressure at all

 

[YlJacket]

Take it and run

 

[iopjacket]

Love it.

 

[jbix80]

I almost blew a gasket when puff Johnson threw the ball out of bounds and then hit a three-pointer. I don’t want to hear anybody complaining from Penn State after that last possession because that previous play changed the game in overtime. Are they not allowed to replay in overtime?

 

[pcmor]

Phew.

 

[iopjacket]

We got to learn to get the ball in.

 

[ESPNjacket]

Stole that one. The breakout game for Gapare is encouraging. The last 3 minutes of regulation are not.
