"Our inside guys are thin." Thought that didn't matter, JB?

 

[albanycuse]

Our offensive is mediocre and the team totally collapsed today. But our defense was mostly good lol.

what's incorrect or lol-worthy about that statement?

Answer: Recruit more players who aren’t thin.

 

[AZOrange]

Rebounding was a myth...hehe

Why did u even reply??

huh?
probably because you posted something (on a discussion board) and I wanted you to clarify what you posted?

My bad I thought it was clear. Our defense was mostly good except game winning shot. My apologies.

Was our defense good? Or was their offense just bad? A combo?

They looked pretty bad without Colson and Farrell.

game winning shot was on a put back off a fast break. That isn't on the defense. The defense was nothing special. They played without their two top scorers for God's sake

Remember Brey going to the Elite 8 just using stall ball? The dude is an elite coach. That doesn't dismiss our offensive ineptitude, but a lot of other teams would have folded without their 2 best players - Brey is really, really good.

 

[Kowbelkat]

Good D, they had 5 dunks in the last 5 minutes

I thought the D was good for the most part, lotta contested and blocked shots with some steals mixed in.

they scored 90+ last game w/o those two

 

[tbonezone]

I've said he was really good before and had people comment that he can't coach d only o

JB speaks out of both ends of his mouth sometimes. Earlier in the year he stated in a presser, and rather emphatically at that, that thinness of our guys is not an issue. Went on a rant on how Warrick was a whopping 180 lbs. his freshman year in relation to Marek, etc. Tonight, he says our guys are basically too thin to rebound and how our rebounding prowess up to the Wake game was just a myth. You know what's a myth too JB, that ND is a good team without Colson and Ferrell as you allude. No, they are not and the proof are the stats you quoted along with the fact that they only had to score 51 points (without their two best guys) to come out of the Dome with a W. This was a gift wrapped game for you and your team and they just stunk up the joint so bad that someone had to win in the end.

Against NC State right? Are they any good?

not really - kind of hard to tell with them - but point is your offense is humming if you score 90 on anyone

Love JB, but talks out both sides of his face. Said we were a good rebounding team and today says it was a myth.

Hard to disagree. 90 is solid

I said that above. He also actually mumbled tonight that we had a 180 pound guy in there (Marek).

And JB needs to take ownership for these horrendous performances.
