Can Westry shoot?

It’s not his forte, more of a playmaker on both ends, but certainly better that our current starting 2G

 

[longtimefan]

Enjoy the snow, Tigers.

Siberian?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Was Cuffe hurt? I don’t think he played the 2nd half.

Oh geez, I hope not.

I think they were trying to get other guys in rhythm and the team pulled away so Red let it roll.

 

[721Comstock]

Was Cuffe hurt? I don’t think he played the 2nd half.

Maybe Red was trying to let JJ work thru some things?

That said - I think Cuffe shoulda gotten some of JJ’s minutes -
He was on the struggle-bus all night.

100%. Need to do everything we can to negate the impact Bennett can have on the game. We have the athletes and talent to press and run every chance we get to do that.

Very interested to see what Red's plan is.

Very interested to see what Bennett’s plan is for Mintz!

 

[IthacaMatt]

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but UVa only has one guy who can get rebounds, and they don't seem to have a lot of offense, even by usual UVa standards.

 

[djcon57]

On that team: no one

Shot 37 percent from 3 before this game.
7-16 vs Dayton
7-18 vs Wake

Shooting hasn’t been their issue. Would be nice to give our guys credit once in awhile

 

[721Comstock]

Rewatching the highlights -
LOVE the double ROARS from the crowd for Q’s behind the back dime to Maliq.
First roar on the pass, then again on the bucket.

That 2nd half was our best ball movement of the season (to date).
So many guys willing to make the extra pass, and it led to a lot of makes.

 

[bballbeadle]

Nice job tonight. Still many things to work on, but that was a quality win!!

You are quite chuffed tonight, aren’t you? (I watch too many British shows.)

 

[UpstateSM]

Justin Taylor needs to keep shooting. They'll start to go in.

He's starting to think about it and once you start doing that things can snowball fast.

Sounds like a Copeland type. Need more shooting.

 

[IthacaMatt]

When they play at their very best, it's like art, or dance, or painting.
We're not there, but we showed many good tendencies tonight.

Acorn or BritBox?

 

[GoSU96]

That was a fun watch

Thinking is highly discouraged! It leads to ruination.

Acorn or BritBox?

Used to be Acorn but now PBS.

nice 2nd half

but my god do we need to improve on the defensive glass

and we are going to need two of Starling/Copeland/Taylor/Cuffe to provide actual offensive production against good teams. Tonight it was basically .5 in Copeland having a decent 2nd half

Starling's offensive game is troublesome to me

Other guys like Cuffe and Copeland are going to take more of Starling's minutes if he doesn't play better. The others offer things JJ does not, at least right now.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

JJ is still a problem. I’m not sure how long we can allow our 2 guard to go 1 for the season from 3. He had zero fg’s tonight

I don’t care if he scores a point. Stop
Making the first pass on the opponents fast breaks

Our forwards are bell and Taylor. That is why we can’t board. Ideally both those guys are 2’s.

 

[Ragman2000]

My biggest regret is that Judah is playing himself into the draft next year and is unlikely to return for a third year thus removing any possibility of a Mr. Excitement announcement for "Junior Mintz."

However, Taylor turns out to be a good (our best) rebounder

That's fine, though. If he's the only guy to leave, we will be crazy loaded the following year; certainly have the makings of a Sweet 16 type of team.

 

[CLMintz]

Teams on track and we should be able to have a marquee Quad 1 in our pocket if we take down UVA Saturday.

Overall we were very good on both ends just clean up the rebounding and keep up the intensity. I think guys like Cope and Starling will start hitting more shots.

Why do you think that? lol

 

[IthacaMatt]

That's fine, though. If he's the only guy to leave, we will be crazy loaded the following year; certainly have the makings of a Sweet 16 type of team.

If only Judah (and maybe Benny ...) leave next year, this is our roster:

C: MacLeod, Hima, Carey, Patterson
: Donnie Freeman, Chris Bell, Maliq Brown, Justin Taylor, Benny
G: Chance Westry, Kyle Cuffe, JJ Starling, Copeland, Elijah Moore

Even if a guy or two leaves, that's a talented team.
Maybe one more shooter, if someone leaves,
