Would kill for a senior-season Duany.
That might be nice. I'd be quite happy with a junior-season Frank as well.

Possibly, but not necessarily. His completion percentage could change as well. and if it happens in any direction, I'd wager cash it would be upward.
We failed to put ourselves in a position to win, So we lost. The game came down to the line, one team took the initiative and it wasn’t us.
miami made plays in the end, joe tried to play hero ball and wasted some possessions. Without going on an angry tangent thats all I’ll say.
somebody give me one good reason buddy b played 45 ?
This x1000I also added it would be cool if JB would at least try this, without necessarily being married to it. Have multiple dissimilar lineup combinations ready to go, and make others need to work harder to prepare for you instead of them just needing to show up on defense.
Percentage will never change with those crap shots he takes. He isn't Curry or Harden.
There is hope next year. Gmac wasnt great in the zone as a freshman, but he had Duany by his side so nobody really remembers. Girard does not have Kueth by his side but he will be better in the zone. He has that quarterback/leader mentality we need. Buddy needs to beef up and be hidden on the wing in the zone and split forward minutes with Q and Marek. Keep shooting bud. We will have 15 fouls to give at the center position. Can Goodine or Richmond be enough of a spark at the 2? Rotate in Howash and Buddy and there is your guard rotation. If Q and Goodine are ready to go next year, look out. Marek and Girard get All-ACC recognition. Enjoy the ACC tourney fam, and whatever happens after. Hopefully the arenas wont be empty
Yes, JB is a HOF'er...blah blah blah. But even Stevie Wonder can see that something needs to happen w/ the "40-minutes and a cloud of dust" PT philosophy he employs, especially with this lineup. He seems unable, or
Edwards, sure. Washington and Goodine offer nothing at this time that would’ve chhanged this game, outside of maybe Goodine offering better perimeter D.I guess I just take exception to the idea behind your post.
Let's say what you say is true. Miami was an epic disaster, and we were losing WITH Hughes. Let's not pretend the game changed when he left - hell, we fared better for a bit.
Also, if this team is going to take a night off, THIS TEAM, that should be more concerning to you. They're overwhelmed emotionally? At the very least, if they're checked out, shouldn't the coach be playing Goodine/Washington/Edwards...some guys who are mentally/physically checked in?
I dont think it does. Why wouldn't it have changed yet?
He's not getting benched.
Guierrier shoots 3s and doesnt see the court for weeks, comes back and doesnt take a 3. Why would Girard learn?
Earlier I thought you were Shark, but got a bit swept up in other things and now am getting around to asking that. I don't want to assume either way, and certainly want to be sensitive, but was that RIP for real in the common usage of leaving this life? If so, may I ask what happened? Or did he manage the more common "RIP" on here and get banned?
Either way, I appreciate the tribute for him. You wouldnt be close to my first guess for someome sporting a Phish-related avatar from what I gather, so the whole thing was a bit of a mindbleep to me when I finally realized I it was you, after wondering what in the heck had gotten into Shark58(RIP).

So the thing is, the sky already fell.
Until Dior gets here, barring meteoric improvement by like 3-4 guys/'croots vastly outperforming their ranking, we're going to look just like this record wise and be a NIT/bubble team.
That's what we are as a program. I've made peace with it. It's fine. We've had a run at being above average for an insane amount of time thanks to JB.
Miami's senior night performance was pathetic. Unfortunately, our performance was worse!-End of year, we’ve plateaud physically, mentally and emotionally. We came out flat against a senior night opponent with nothing to lose.

SU played like they spent all day in the FL sun/waves. Zombie Ball -what a dud.
Crazy season -so hope Eli's back for ACCT and SU plays great in Greensboro to end season on high note!
Beef or no beef, he’ll need bigger shorts because a defender will be inside them for 40 minutes.“Beefed up” buddy doesn’t help much.
This is absurd. There are tons of historically mediocre to bad programs that have turned things around with the right coaching hire and:/or better recruiting... two of them met in the national title game last year.So the thing is, the sky already fell.

Space man, space. JB is an astrophysicist.somebody give me one good reason buddy b played 45 ?

I acknowledged "better recruiting" by stating we can expect things to change when Dior arrives, but for next season the recruiting only gets "better" if the guys coming in perform higher than their rating. This isn't a hot take. It is what it is. If we get Benny and Mac in 2021 that's a big shot in the arm, but that's unknown for now.
Re: the right coaching hire. We have the coach. There's not a hire to be made. We're ride or die with JB.
That's why I've accepted that the odds are really likely that the season results we'll see the next two seasons are probably going to match the results this season. Unless something drastic and pretty much completely unforeseen as of right now happens, we're not going to see immediate changes on the two catalysts you mentioned - 'crootin and coachin'. We're not. So, the results aren't really changing either.
I think long-term our best case scenario is Dior is everything we hope both as a player and magnet for other talent, JB retires on a high note and leaves behind a healthy program, and we get a big time coach to come in and build the next era. But that's long-term. Short-term, we're going to be an OK program. That's about it.
They won’t even be allowed the chance.In order for this team to be good, we desperately need either Goodine or even Carey to become a lead guard that can break down a defense.
