What a satisfying win

[RF2044]

Not only because it was great to snap a 3 game losing streak, but also because I @#$& hate Notre Dame.

 

[tombacuse]

Great win, very very happy for everyone, me included!!

I can’t think of a team you don’t hate. Lol.

I don't hate any teams but 2 schools that I strongly dislike are Notre Dame and Georgetown.

...with every fiber of my being.

 

[hoopsupstate]

It’s so nice to be able to watch other teams play today after a win. Hoops and football the rest of the day.

Need to use the next 7 to get something out of the forwards

Kids needs to commit to getting boards

True.

But Notre Dame is in the top tier.

I appreciate Brey coaches a regular non gimmicky team.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I feel like we own ND in basketball similar to how Pitt owned us for almost fifteen years. Hard for me to hate a team like that imo

I appreciate that his teams are dreadful at D

That too...but the game ended quickly, not 40 minutes of clutch, grab and slap.

I found it satisfying also. And I am wondering why I am still reading so much criticism about how we played, how we were coached. Hello, a really good typical Cardiac Cuse road game against a very good team. Are only a very few of us ever satisfied?

 

[sufandu]

Yeah, good win today. I don't know what it means for the rest of the year, but that doesn't matter. Today was good.

I hate that “clutch, grab, and slap” are requirements to being a good defensive team in college hoops.

I would throw UConn into that mix…

I called it game thread at 1/2 time. There are some games you don’t feel good about tied at 1/2, this wasn’t one of them. I knew we had it in us. Great road win.

Benny can and has shown an ability to rebound.

Bell plays hoops like it’s Pop-A-Shot. He has no desire to rebound. At all.

 

[tbonezone]

Brey's team is gonna burn out.too few players logging too many minutes.

Pop-A-Shot. That’s awesome. I actually think Bell looked a little better rebounding but he pissed Jim off when he closed with a hand down twice.

Agree, they both have the length and athleticism to get it done. Need to figure it out or sit

Is it desire?

He legit looks like he has no idea. Has anyone ever coached him on a basic box out? Like, he doesn't do things normal people that play in basketball games do like put their arms out when the shot goes up to feel if there's anybody nearby to box out.

He looks like a guy that spent 1000s of hours with a shot doctor but rarely actually played in competitive games.

Agreed. Hence the Pop-A-Shot reference. It’s like a QB that looks good throwing to cones.

Oh wait….did I say that out loud?

He has no feel for the game. Your last paragraph is spot on.
