[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 931716, member: 1199"] I was one who thought we would be a lot better, but it hasn't happened. Why have things gone south for this GT basketball team? 1- We are not a good shooting team. Our percentages are down from last year all over the floor. 2- Neither of our two "bigs" are very effective on the offensive end. So the guards have to play 4 on 5. 3- Our defense has never gelled and no matter what combination Pastner puts on the floor, it isn't working consistently. But mostly it's the terrible shooting we see night after night. Coleman was recruited because he was a Dennis Scott level shooter. He is hitting less than 30% from outside, less than 40% overall, and less than 70% on FTs. Terry is at least hitting his FTs, but is clearly not an ACC level player. I don't even want to mention Sturdivant's and Smith's poor shooting. These are all great kids who are better players than they are showing. But something is terribly wrong right now. Can it be fixed? If we were losing by two and three points in final seconds I would have more optimism. These recent games have drained that from me. Given all that, the end of our 2023 ACC schedule is easier than the beginning. But, this "good fan" is not expecting that 13-7 record. [/QUOTE]
