MBB, Miami, 2/24... Someone has to start the thread

[awbuzz]

Held Miami's George to zero points in the 2nd half! Miles with some good D.

Lots of assists
If course it helps when the shots fall.

Good team win

I think the assists are a big factor. The ball was popping for the first thirty minutes. Made me a little nervous down the stretch, but Sturdy was clutch again at the line. I loved seeing Deebo attack the hoop. Nice to have him back.

Our defense in the 2nd half was SO MUCH BETTER than the 1st half. Went from yielding 49 points to 27. THAT is what won us this game.

i think maybe CDS’s post game comments after Clemson didn’t hurt at all.

Making shots helps a lot. Also, defending is nice.

Honestly looked like we were playing ourselves and we're great at beating ourselves. Sorry had to. Miami has a lot of the same issues we do. Happy for the team win and Miles looked great out there, just a little sloppy there at the end

Glad to see we can hang on after we blow a big lead. Progress.....

I had to load hay after dark because we took so long to salt this one away.....

The team has a confidence problem (after losing a number of games when leading late). They get tight, and choke a little. Winning some close games after having a big lead will cure this.

Nice win. Good effort all game and really good defense in the 2nd half. 22 assists and 15 threes. These are the types of wins we needed in January. Maybe we can make a little run to end the season?

This team seems to have trouble when defensive pressure ramps up. Those last few minutes were painful for us Tech fans. Teams that apply that kind of pressure earlier are who I fear most. We had real trouble with traps and double team situations those last few minutes. Sturdivant was money at the end.

 

[Ramblingon]

Congrats Jackets! Good defense in the second half, and great performances by Kelly and Reeves, which is what we need. Nice to win at Miami.

I don't know why Miami didn't double team Sturdivant at the end of the game and force someone else to make free throws. He is by far our best free throw shooter but they let us inbound the ball to him both times going down the stretch.

Great win. Nait played within himself and allowed teammates to shine, only 12 team turnovers We are a much better team when players play their roles. Sturdy is mister clutch late in the games, we going to miss him next year.

The teams that beat us use that pressure in half court throughout the game.

Good shooting cures almost all ills Overall--.An effective winning combo--good shots, reasonable def,an efficient top scorer, and a senior FT shooter at end. This combo could play and win with most teams in country.

I think Chad is doing a good job reporting GT Sports.
