What a comeback!! Really proud of them, although our defense was awful. Had to have the win, a loss would have eliminated us. Great win

Pastner is overmatched in the ACC

Man you are such a terrible poster.

So do we still have that same coach that everybody wanted to fire?

Good work tonight by our basketball boys. We managed to put together 2 good offensive halves, but I'm still wondering what our defense was doing tonight. Need to shore up the defensive end before Wednesday and take it to the hoos.

Another game where turnovers did not exceed steals. ****ing incredible.

Tip the hat to the team of course. Give some Kudos to Jose - 6 flippin' steals!!!
Devoe 19 points and some big baskets
Sturdivant looked pretty good in the last few minutes making both of his baskets late!

Great heart in the 2nd half. Beat ND and the refs. Proud of the guys!

Down 17 would have been easy to mail it in but the guys hung tough. Good W

Fwiw, KQ mentioned on Twitter that Moses may have been dinged during the game, which may have contributed to him being slow on defending those ND rolls to the basket.

100% agree. have not looked at the stats, but it certainly feels like devoe and usher have significantly reduced their TOs the second half of the season. learning, growing, progressing.

They looked really deep into the abyss of no dance this year and decided to come back and take the game. Hard game to figure given the way we were playing defense but still give them all the credit in the world for finding a way to win.

I have to believe Pastner was directing them to play no help D and not give up any 3's in the second half as it was the damndest open driving lane D I have seen in a while.

They will have to play better during this stretch as ND is not as good as the rest of our games coming up. Even recognizing they are a matchup nightmare for us and spread us really well.

I don't say it a lot,, but there were 2 different games being called tonight when they drove versus when we drove. Much as I would like to see Pastner chew some arse to the level of a T, the margin tonight tells me to be glad he didn't.

Unbelievable comeback! I knew they couldn’t keep shooting like they were. Was our defense that bad in the first half or was their offense that impressive in the first half? Or both?
I thought Sturdivant and Howard gave us some good minutes tonight... especially Sturdivant. They didn’t play much, but they made the most of their opportunity.
I love watching Jose and Devoe when they play like that.
Great game!!!!

It wasn't just him. We made the decision not to leave any shooter and thus no one was in any help position.

Some pretty crazy stat lines from some of our guys.

Jose's 19 points on 75/75 shooting with 6 rebs, 5 asts, 6 steals and 1 turnover is ridiculous. 5th game this year of 5+ steals. If my math is right that puts him at 3rd in the nation in steals per game. You can't convince me he isn't the ACC PoY this year.

Mike with 19 points on 77% shooting.

Thought Usher being able to play aggressively without picking up his 5th was huge. Him and Bubba really gave us a spark and Kyle provided some much needed relief in the second half.

Some decent minutes from the bench tonight. Still wish we could play more bodies, of course and still win. i want the wins more

I couldn’t believe Pastner kept him in with 3 fouls in the first half.

Awesome win that keeps us in the thick of the race. Gutty performance by our team. But the schedule for the next two weeks is just brutal. The good news is that most of them are at home.
