....and sounds like a loss to me

...and only shot lights out from the free throw lane for us in his first year. Glad we persisted to foul him at the end. Great strategy on our part

Probably so! Of course we are a game on, game off team most of the year. Most likely we will sit through out the weekend and come out stale!

Real quick trigger closing game day thread. Hit submit with 6 seconds remaining and got the FAMOUS OOOPs!!!

A good post and I agree with your comments on Bell. Seems like something clicked in the past 4 to 5 weeks. Still needs to focus on keeping his emotions in control. I am also excited to see Copeland's level of play come next year. I hope he is still here and upping his ball control a bit. We...

Totally agree with your comment at this point. He has missed a lot of basketball!

He could have made a difference in several games this year! Who knows, he may also have the leadereship skills this team strongly needs!

.....it is my way of saying "what makes you good, makes you bad". Got to sort it out!!!!!

I truly hope you are right...not on being team leader, he is definitely that, but that we get him for 2 more years. It will be "show time"!!!

...must have a longer fuse than I do! I was worried when we dropped to a 7 point lead based on our last few games!

With an odd number of teams one team comes up short each weekend. Of course we got ours on the last week of the season! Maybe we are not the "darlings" of the ACC?

I get on Judah's case a lot for not distributing and iso play but he played a very balanced game tonight. The fact the middle was open most of the night was a huge plus for Judah, JJ, Cope and Cuffe

...I prefer "Take no prisoners"!

I can hear what you are saying but after the first weekend there would only be 25% of the teams remaining! Tournament of 64 teams has 16 remaining and tournament of 96 teams (your 50% expansion) would have 24 team remaining. It would sort of be like the "top 25" remaining to play for the...

I am no expert in basketball, never played! But can Bell work on developing these skills before next season. In my eyes he has gotten much better from where he was last year. He has many areas to work on. It seems a good BB coach should be able to prioritize his shortcomings and improve...

...good for you, longer fuse than me. I can stay away for 24 hours but then I need a "fix". The season is winding down as the long summer will soon be coming around the corner.

....not sure when they must be in the top 200? When you play them or at the end of the year? Obviously the top 200 stabilizes as the teams hit mid season heading towards completion of their schedule

...and they deserve the outcome

I was hesitating about posting to this thread until your post popped up. I had posted several years back on my experiences with court storming and I am going to repeat my story at this time. My wife and I after we retired worked about 10 years as ushers at what is now the PNC arena in Raleigh...

Excellent point Red should make to Q. Too much of a focus on winning a battle when we need to be focusing on winning the war! Keep your ammunition dry!!!

Hear what you are saying and you are absolutely correct that the damn margins matter but I am getting a bit fed up listening to all the metrics talk etc. All I care for at this point is the wins. I get more excited over a 2 or 3 point win than I do a 12 point win. Next they will be measuring...

...YES, right out of the Soprano's ! s

I must want to add one more thing......Damn glad the "luck of the Irish" did not dictate the outcome of this game!!

Not sure about the JJ shot you said did not get counted? I recall a shot he took and I thought he made but the announcers were saying he hit the bottom side of the net without going through the basket. I just was not sure but nothing more was ever said. In my opinion I feel as Bell is trying...

We played defense in the second half??? I must have missed it!

...about the only words we can use to sugar coat this near disaster

...apologies, my comment was not directed at the players, rather the teams! The teams with the NIL money will get the pick of the litter year in and year out! As we all suspect the NIL game has been going on for years, it is just now above the table.

Sadly I agree with you. I concur this will be more and more the case as we get deeper into the dark world of NIL!! The rich will just get richer. I had a similar situation back in the 1990s and I cold turkey dropped MLB when the teams with all the money ruined the game. Exactly where we are...

No idea whether Q's put backs from Judah air balls were credited as assists but I recall Q putting back at least 2!

Many of the posters here talk about winning 3, 4, 5 games in a row! But as I look back over the past several weeks, we tend to win one then lose one, then repeat. For nearly the entire season we are never sure what team will show up. If we are going to surprise some people, we need to quickly...

....sounds like a plan but the refrigerator coukld only take so many trips up and down the floor b4 he had to sit

Quick turn around SWC! As always, thank you for your recap! Tough game and made tougher since south of the Mason Dixon!

...agree but the frustration that week after week we are missing "warm bodies". No idea what the hell is going on but concussions in practice? Just frustration!! I am absolutely in favor of the higher degree of concussion testing. Maybe we need some tougher players?

Agree with absolutely everything but Bell was not hitting threes BECAUSE he did not have the ball????

...good balanced post! I can agree and disagree with few points. Big disagree was Judah and Cope being only O in 2nd half. This is the result of ALL Judah. He did not pass and several of his misses were gathered in by Cope for a put back. Jusah has to recognize there are other players on...

Agree BUT it sounds like a coaching problem to me...

...starting to sound like Yogi Berra now?????????

...ok, so it is like a chess game. They neutralize one of our pieces then we should be able to counter with another strong piece! What happened? Was it the coaches or the players? I have an opinion but what is yours?????

.....I need to defer to the basketball experts but it really neuters any offense that benefits us!!!!

...total respect to the medical profession but we need some hard nosed bb players!!!

...up lifting post!! Q does things with the basketball that just leave me scratching my head. Of course when he misses one of these out of your mind shots I am disappointed! A couple of the shots today were amazing... or as you say a "banger"!!! He is the fire and leader of this team...

Q is like Devo in the old days.....he can dish it out and back up his talk. Definitely has an edge, but fortunately the edge has an Orange jersey!! LGO!!!! Take no prisoners Q!!!!

...more truth has ever been spoken!!!!!

....again and again!!!!!

I could not become a NC ST fan with a gun held to my head!!! BTW I live 6 miles from NC ST campus!

...my only disagreement with you is "He will be the leader"...He is the only leader we have now. He wants to win and he walks his talk!

...I am agreeing with you Eric! Seems like Carey has been out for more nickle dime reasons than any other player this year? Why can't we get players that you put band-aides on and put back in the game. We need more Dolezaj's!!!!

Usually what happens is we beat a team and they move up and we slide down?

You know I seen that a few times in this game. Seems like our passers and our receivers were on different pages? I never played basketball (makes me an expert, jusst ask me!) but we have these miss-communications in every game. It just looks weird. We end up tossing the ball out of bounds????

Some good suggestions!!!!
