Louisville - 1/23

[lv20gt]

So should we revisit the topic of best team under gregory yet?

But hey, maybe irony will strike me and we will go on a winning streak after this post.

I don't think it was luck. Our bigs couldn't guard him. Credit to Louisville for seeing the mismatch and forcing the issue.

That's what good coaches do find a weakness and exploit it..... Too bad we can't give our guys that same advantage.

This is easily his best team.

Custer probably had some magnificent soldiers under his command as well.

Well one of his teams has to qualify as his best... I think this is it.

Is there an actual argument for it this time or just the same old "if you don't agree then you must not have watched" nonsense?

 

[Peacone36]

You can argue all you want.


You'd be wrong. But hey, I'll argue.

How do you figure this team is better than 2013-2014?

I watch them play.

And in terms of upside we've beaten a legit top 25 team this year i.e., one that may finish the year there.

Are we really trying to argue which is the tallest midget? (Not that's I have anything against midgets...)

 

[alagold]

BG would be hell in a horseshoes tourney where "closeees" count.
but-Actually a decent showing for a loss..

Yes, that's what we're arguing. And that was the analogy I had in mind when I posted but chose not to put in writing. Shame on you.

No doubt in my this year's team is better than the previous.

If we can get consistent "true" point guard play we can win games like we played today and last weekend.

When MGH fouled out we lost a player that they had to worry about.

Face it, both TJs aren't playing to the level we need to be able to win tight games against "top" teams. jmo

... bottom line... still getting so close, but still so far away....

Calapari said today in his post-game interview that his team had gotten better recently because they have learned how to win.

Gregory's teams don't know how to win. They expect to lose. How many losses in the past 2 years have come after having a significant halftime lead? Then they fold like a cheap suit down the stretch. We've seen 2 of those in the last 2 games.

Even in the UVa win, GT was up by 10 with 53 seconds left, and only won by 4. They tried to fold in that one, but couldn't quite manage it.

I can't say its the kids. There are enough new faces this year that the constant seems to be the coach. I can't stand to watch the same bad ending over and over. Even having a significant lead against a mediocre Va Tech team, I couldn't stand to watch. The outcome was all but certain.

 

[Fatmike91]

Louisville is very good. Tech played well, but we're just not quite good enough to win with Marcus in the bench and Smith not a factor.

IMO some of it is the "kids"...

lol? So you're really doubling down on the "watch them play" argument?

Also, in terms of upside the 13-14 team beat 7th ranked Cuse on the road, who actually finished ranked 14th, and in 12-13 we won @#6 miami who finished ranked 5th. What's your point?

 

[orientalnc]

I was optimistic we would get over the hump this year, but my positive outlook is fading. All five losses this year look almost exactly like the string of losses last season. We are 1-5 with road games at NCSU and Cuse next week. We need both wins. Before the ACC opener I counted on wins versus Clemson in the second half of the season, but those now a very doubtful, especially on the road. We are in a corner with wet paint on the floor surrounding us.

We may be putting kindling under CBG's desk chair if things don't improve pretty soon.

You clearly have a different opinion than everyone else so there's no point arguing. You're the only one on this board who thinks that this team isn't Gregory's best team
