    NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sun March 24

    Maybe I don't understand how betting works since I don't bet but how is taking them at 18.5 after taking them at 11.5 hedging and not doubling-down?

    Random plays that stick with you

    Three others that are perhaps a bit more obscure: Bouie, with four fouls, denying Joe Barry Carroll at the rim late in the 1980 game at Purdue. Orr front rimming a 30 footer to send the first last game at Manley into OT. McCarty tip in of a missed shot at 64-62 in the 1996 final

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Great. So you were happy seeing a guy who was shooting 27% from the floor in conference play in Jan-Feb (13-45) coming into Georgia Tech, take 7 shots and go 1-7? Well, you should have been ecstatic then cause the kid took more shots per 40 minutes on Saturday than anyone else on the team...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    This is what you wrote, "I was actually glad to see him try take some shots rather than passing on everything" If you were not happy seeing him take all those shots, then don't write it. I was not happy with it. His misses were not close and are just wasted offensive possessions at this point.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    I don't know that he was "encouraged" to keep shooting but he certainly was not discouraged. And you may have been happy to see him shoot and miss but we lost by 5. Maybe if we take some better shots, we win? Not to mention that if we don't take all those 0-11 from 3 from guys shooting 3s in...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Took only 2 of his 7 shots early in the game. Missed them both. Missed 2 3s late in first half and took 3 shots in the second half. Went 1-3. So you are not remembering correctly.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Honestly, what Gtech has done in conference this year is crazy. Prior to beating us on Saturday, they were 3-11 with their 3 wins coming against Duke, Carolina and Clemson (on the road no less) and 0-11 against everyone else.

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    We take a lot of bad shots. Q, MIntz, Taylor and Cuffe were a combined 0-11 from 3. MIntz is shooting 5-23 (21.8%) from 3 in conference play in Jan-Feb; Taylor is 5-26 (19.2%); Q is 3-13 (23.1%) and Cuffe is 2-8 (25%). Combined they are 15-70 (21.4%). Even wide open 3s are bad shots for them...

    Georgia Tech Postgame Thoughts

    Taylor took more shots per 40 minutes than anyone on the team on Saturday. We were 4 on 5 on offense because they were not guarding him and he was still 1-7.

    Your instincts are good. Taylor is 5-26 (19%) from 3 in conference play in Jan-Feb this season.

    Red Season 1 Now a Bust

    Unless Red proves to be an abject disaster, a la Matt Doherty, which it certainly doesn't appear like he is, 5 should be the minimum. JW showed perhaps an overabundance of patience with Dino so I don't think he'll do a kneejerk with Red..

    Thoughts? Collectively, we do get angry after a loss, don't we? That 21-0 run lasted 6:57 during which we went 0-8 from the field with four turnovers. Ouch. You cannot let the other team should 60% from the floor and 50% from 3. Combine the two and surprising we only lost by five. Thought...

    Reyna to Fiorentina??? I would love it but not sure it is a great move for him. Nico Gonzalez is best player on team and a winger. Buonaventura is entrenched at the 10. I don’t see Reyna displacing him. If they continue to advance in Europe and in the Coppa Italia he would play hut if it is...

    My son officiates kids in this age group. I think it depends on the league. For example, my son was instructed not to call travels, double dribbles etc. unless it gets absurd (kid takes 5 steps). He was also instructed to differentiate between kids who clearly know what they are doing and...

    My memory may be faulty but I think the PSL for each of their 4 seats was 10K. No interest at that level. No idea what they sell for in primary (if it still exists) or the secondary market. Given how bad the Giants have been, I doubt that people who bought at inception would get that now.

    My Take

    Bell did end up at 40% from 3 with those late makes. He and Starling ended up 10-20 from 3. 2 games in a row where we held on our on the boards. Small sample size but maybe some light at the end of the rebounding tunnel?
