Looked like somebody left Charlie Villanueva in the dryer too long.The alopecia guy on Cornell is a baller.

Had this thought as well but admittedly didn't want to be the first to say it, like watching a different sportMan, UNC and UConn are significantly better than us at every position.
I love listening to him talk about hoopsHe looks relaxed and seems to be having fun. This is a great role for him.
So true. I was particularly struck when the UConn center finished a pretty savvy move to the rim & had to reflect on our loss of Jesse & replacing him with Naheem. But, yeah, the entire roster, it's a different ball game.Had this thought as well but admittedly didn't want to be the first to say it, like watching a different sport
25 assists so far for UConn. That’s a great stat. Wonder if we will have that this year, even once.So true.

Seriously. You do realize the only reason that we beat Colgate and Cornell was because of man D.We are an awful defensive team.
It’s pretty obvious why JB stayed away from MOMz
I understand how you feel a bit. Nothing tragic though.View attachment 234520I root for starling the hardest. And the fact he isn’t good makes me so depressed. I’ll never talk down on this kid because it’s really mental with him. He’s so gifted. It’s really a tragedy tbh. I hope he figures it out eventually because I’ll be one of the guys cheering him on the hardest. It just hits me harder cuz I’m 24, he’s 20. We went to same high school. Just a sheety situation he’s in.
It was less than 2 minutes I think.There was a period of maybe 5 minutes in the second half when I swear to God we collected 6 fouls. I sit too far away to see what happened but they seemed very ticky tacky. I am not sure whether all those fouls and disruptions of play contributed to our lead becoming razor thin.
It’s tragic for him. He has the potential to make a living off basketball & it’s not working out these first 2 years. It sucksI understand how you feel a bit. Nothing tragic though.
Seriously, I think they were whistled for four fouls on a single possession, culminating with Mintz picking up his fourth foul. Looked pretty random, too. If the refs called an entire game like that, they'd finish it with walk-ons.There was a period of maybe 5 minutes in the second half when I swear to God we collected 6 fouls.

It was 1 possession.It was less than 2 minutes I think.
Worse than I thought!It was less than 2 minutes I think.
Even worser!It was 1 possession.
Man, UNC and UConn are significantly better than us at every position.
Solid win Cornell looked pretty good and not a team you can just paste by 30 Red did well to keep us attacking.
No funky stuff and suckage against Georgetown and I’ll be pretty content with this start.
They missed SOOOOOO many open shots, that’s not good defense.For what it’s worth, coming into this game Cornell had the 56th best offense in the country (according to kenpom), and was > 1.05 points per possession in every game this year. Their strength has been in their shooting - #14 in eFG% and #2 in the nation shooting from inside the arc (63.7% from 2-pt range coming into the game!)
But tonight, we held them to 0.95 ppp (70 pts in 74 possessions) and just 40% overall from the floor (27% from 3-pt range and 53% from 2-pt range). Our defense was actually decent tonight.
Confidence doesn’t make you dribble, play smart, pass, rebound or play better defense.basketball is a confidence sport
the team has taken some hits early on and the confidence is not as high as it could be...very clear to see
if they can get some more wins under their belt, it can snowball in a good way, imo
they need that one big win, imo ...LSU kinda was that but not really...
or if they get a few more losses, it can snowball, too
still hard to tell how the rest of the season will go but I understand the pessimism at this point
