Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4943945, member: 27"] Gonna be kind of short today. Just a few observations…. Thought this was one of Judah’s nest games. He really tried to run the offense and get everyone involved. Made a lot of good passes. Even worked the pick and roll with Maliq. Very few turnovers. Rarely had the ball too much working ISO on multiple defenders. His defense was really good. One of his best defensive games in college. Great to see him getting involved in getting rebounds again as well. Bell was not good most of the game. His defense was terrible all game long, he again didn’t rebound and he wasn’t hitting his jumpers either. But again, he hit a couple of huge shots down the stretch. Might be our best pressure shooter. The kid has a lot of courage and bravado. Q struggled on offense most of the game. Miami has to be thrilled to see him take a 3 at the buzzer. He hasn’t shot well from the outside this year, but his form always looks good. You need confidence to hit that shot and that is one thing Q has a lot of. A turning point in the game was when Pack was going off and we put Q on him. He is, IMHO, our best defender. Brown is fun to watch play. So smart, plays so hard, always seems to be in the right place. Also had a couple big plays down the stretch. He remains in first on the team in rebounds and is slowly pulling away there. And he is still tied with Judah for the team lead in steals, which is pretty amazing. Justin would be leading in rebounding if only defensive rebounds were counted but he only has 6 offensive rebounds all season. Which is crazy low compared to his defensive rebounding numbers. That said, Bell has only 3 offensive rebounds past the halfway point in the season. Unbelievable the team is doing pretty well given the starting forwards have 9 offensive rebounds for the entire season. It is going to be an uphill fight to get an NCAA bid in a weakened ACC this year. They might only get 5 bids. For us to get in, we have to win just about all of these games against fellow ACC programs we are competing with for those few bids. This was a good win. We were fortunate their big was out today. The outcome probably would have been different had he been 100%. But you have to take advantage of breaks and the team did today. Let’s keep winning and make it hard for the committee to ignore us.
