Fire Red and JJ *&%$

[Dcuse]

Not an Autry or JJ fan, but great win and credit where credit is due. Still need to win more games going forward.

Not an Autry or JJ fan. Awesome post.

JJ is a 6 or 7 out of 10.

 

[Scooch]

Autry has implemented a vision and he has done a good job to date in putting out a much better product.

Played 4 top 15 teams in a row and had one bad uncompetitive half. Two prior years it’s 4 20 plus pt losses.

There’s been obvious positive progress.

We’ve been wayyyy more competitive than we have been.

Now we need to stack wins OOC and in conference.

We’ve reached that point where I can’t tell what is sarcasm and what isn’t.

JJ is a 6 or 7 out of 10.

He made a couple of great buckets down the stretch when we desperately needed them. I wouldn't go crazy.

This fails to mention his hustle plays on defense. He was going all out on that end and hustled for some key loose balls down the stretch. And those were seriously clutch baskets. He has earned his minutes this year.

I will admit I'm an Autry fan. I think he's a great guy and this is the first season with NIL support in my opinion. I would prefer a coach connected to Syracuse coach the team. If our best option for success is outside that's fine but I it's not my first choice. I think I'm in the minority and that's fine.

Need more in the halfcourt. We built the lead when we got out in transition.

The half court offense just has to be better and that’s my biggest concern with the coaching.

 

[Strathless]

Great athleticism, defense, and intensity from this group so far (minus the second half against ISU). Tough Ls in Vegas without Donnie, especially against Houston when FTs really bit us in the butt. Not a Red hater or defender at this point, but the team has been fun to watch this year and I believe all the pieces are there to make some noise in the ACC.

 

[23Zone]

Thought of something last night about Starling. He is just like the famous quote in top gun.

"Don't think just do".

When he doesn't think he can play pretty darn well. Which is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Yesterday it was a blessing lol

 

[hoopsupstate]

I’m not sure how fans can’t like this team. No ego and they play their butts off. We’re finally seeing the style of play that Red wants. He wants two way players who are tough minded.

Fire Red and JJ sucks,​

did you watch last night’s game vs #13 Tennessee?
Yes, that win does not make a season, but cut them some slack to see how the rest of the season goes!

The defensive turnaround has been impressive. Night and day

 

[PhatOrange]

Was wondering if someone would catch that. Lol

You need to get your sarcasm meter fixed

He's always hustled (as he should), his effort is never in question. I don't really care about a full scale analysis we've been watching him a long time, we just have to take the bad with the good.

 

[baggerbob]

Actually I am not a JJ fan but if he can play like that every night this team can be a tournament team.
He doesn't have to be a star, just a good part of the team.

 

[AZOrange]

This is a very good basketball team. We lost to 2 top ten teams it’s not the end of the world

Been saying this a few weeks now. We could run the acc if we play like this…

 

[Ozone!]

You need to get your sarcasm meter fixed

and be out of step with so many on this site?

 

[Millhouse]

Did I get that right?

Yes

 

[CuseFaninVT]

We’ve reached that point where I can’t tell what is sarcasm and what isn’t.

If people would just use the proper font….

 

[Sbucketball]

Remember after the Tennessee win when some people acted like anyone who ever questioned Red is an idiot?

 

[JonB]

Second game lost because Fts. A team that shoots that bad will lose many more. Every close game.

No, but maybe if you hummed a few bars….

Shouldn’t have been close though. We were 11 point favorites. They played harder, we were clueless against the zone and our guards were terrible.

Along those lines, I hope Autry gets a multi-year extension. Pay the man!
