That may change when we play dookOne thing I noticed this week. Fewer charges are being called and fewer players trying to draw them. The new charge rule May have an effect. You have to be established before the offensive player starts his move. Our players can’t use that as an excuse because at times we’re not even in the same zip code area.
The play where JJ gave him a bad alley oop pass and he gathered it and dished to Maliq for a layup was very impressive."MAGIC" Copeland with 8 assists
SU does have the strongest SOS of all ACC teams so far. It shows in the record, but it’s true.Chaminade sucks. But you could make a very strong case we won’t see another team all year as good as Gonzaga/Tennessee with the possible exception of Duke.
The LSU/GTown games really show us where we are. I don’t think we can beat UVA at this point.
I would have thought Purdue or Marquette being that they played each other and didn’t face Chaminade.SU does have the strongest SOS of all ACC teams so far. It shows in the record, but it’s true.
They’re not ACC teams. As of today, SU has a cbbref SOS of 7.7, Clemson has a 6.7 and Duke at 3rd has a 4.4. Other than that tho, SU is in the bottom half or quarter in most conference metrics. The Chaminade game certainly boosted their ppg differential.I would have thought Purdue or Marquette being that they played each other and didn’t face Chaminade.
Misread your post including only ACC teams.They’re not ACC teams. As of today, SU has a cbbref SOS of 7.7, Clemson has a 6.7 and Duke at 3rd has a 4.4. Other than that tho, SU is in the bottom half or quarter in most conference metrics. The Chaminade game certainly boosted their ppg differential.
wasnt impressed with TennesseeIt’s ironic that SU and Tennessee finished the tournament 1-2. Next week is big for this team.
I was more impressed with them vs Kansas (except for when Kansas pulled away) than I was when they played us.wasnt impressed with Tennessee
Hopefully that had something to do with us.I was more impressed with them vs Kansas (except for when Kansas pulled away) than I was when they played us.
He was spot on with his post game press conference last night. We need to share the ball more and assist on our baskets. Have to score more inside and look more to McCloud. He thought our defense was better and the final score in the first two games didn’t indicate how we battled late into the games. Red is seeing the exact same things that we see and said we will continue to get bettter in all areas. They watched a lot of film and recognize all the areas they can improve. Those two losses may be the best thing that happened to this team. I love the fact that we are going to get a lot of tough early games. Sometimes winning masks your deficiencies.It will be interesting moving forward to see what changes the coaches implement moving forward.
What I would like to see:
- Either more Mintz off the ball or more Mintz on the bench if he continues to go 1 on 5
- More movement off the ball and in general and more screen action create passing lanes off of penetration. That has to be our game or we are going to average low 70s ppg
- Action set up for Taylor to get some set shots. While he is a good shooter he seems to need help against teams with similar athleticism
- some semblance of a man to man D strategy beyond guard your man. ACC coaches are going to carve up our D with screening action and motion if we continue to play like we do now
- a plan for how to use Benny and Copeland. Both are talented players, but we need to figure out how to use them. I don’t know why we insist on getting Copeland the ball in the corners when he can’t shoot. Can we post him up and let him run the offense from the post? They need to get Benny on the move so he can actually use his athleticism… he’s not a good enough shooter or dribbler to just stand on the 3 point line.
- something to light a fire under these dudes to get a freaking rebound
Red is doing okay in his first season. But I’m disappointed at the lack of a holistic strategy on both offense of defense. It’s like both are only half way installed which might be the case for all I know. Did he just tell the guys to play man and thats it? Where are the adjustments to what the other team is doing? Isn’t the dude from the DMV meant to be an “oc”? What is the plan on offense besides go drive past your man?
We don’t have the talent to use the “roll the ball out strategy”:
I think if we beat LSU, the team will have enough confidence to be very competitive vs UVA.He was spot on with his post game press conference last night.

UVA lost to Wisconsin by 25 at home and barely beat West Virginia. They aren’t very good.

The other reason to play these tough games is a loss doesn’t hurt you that much and you learn more than by grinding it out against some random cupcake.He was spot on with his post game press conference last night.

Post of the day!YES!
Or a PBR!!!
Benny’s old enough to bring home a Natty Light, although I wouldn’t recommend it.Could this team bring home a natty?
