Notre Dame post game

[rrlbees]

He offense flowed so much better, players moving around, Buddy taking shots in stride, the team is different with him on the court.

why didn’t that happen in the first half?

why didn’t that happen in the first half?

the ball doesn’t move with Girard and griffin. Tell much dribble, dribble, pass back to the guard at the other end of the 3 point line. Both guys are ball stoppers. Hurts our offense.

 

[djcon57]

Boeheim - clarifying JJ situation.

I thought he did that well and should hopefully go away

 

[tptcuse]

why didn’t that happen in the first half?

Exactly. This was a team effort. Kadary was excellent on D in the second half, but he was not the only one.

 

[Finwad32]

Agreed - crazy he even had to, but such is life right now.

 

[SWC75]

It drives me crazy when the opposing team rolls the ball in past half-court. Kadary finally put some pressure on and forced ND to pick up the ball.

That was a question on the Boeheim show a couple of years ago. JB doesn't think it's worth it to compromise the defense to make them pick it up a couple of seconds early.

you want to do +/- for guards in the first half?

 

[Eric15]

I am so pumped.

Thinking out loud here...would griffin leaving be addition by subtraction?

AG is our leading scorer, second leading rebounder, leading shot blocker, and shoots at a considerably higher percentage than Buddy or Joe.

 

[SWC75]

why didn’t that happen in the first half?

That will be Pat's take: we get off to so many bad starts. Why not have you best players out there to begin with?

 

[Eric15]

I'm no longer worried about the 18 point Pitt collapse. I figure it's a wash now.

We are +1 now. Add in the Buffalo game.

I’m pretty sure Richmond wasn’t in the minus the first half.
I will say it does seem like it takes him a few times down the court to get in into the game. Putting him in when a fifth of the game over with is incredibly dumb.

Who are getting spanked by the mighty Toledo.

One underplayed stat: ND only took 4 free throws in the game.
(The Orange were 11 for 11).

And Durham disappeared after his early inside dominance.

that wasn’t the question

They were on pace to set the dunk record after 5 minutes, it felt.

Yeah, it felt like he ripped off 17 dunks in the first 10 minutes... ghost afterwards.

 

[rrlbees]

that didn’t answer the question either. But Kadary was -6. I’m sure Joe was worse and I don’t remember when buddy went out and came back in.

 

[upperdeck]

rolling the ball up half the game is just stupid if you are just gonna spend the first 15 seconds of the shot clock not doing anything to attack the D.. it only really makes sense if you want to stretch the game when the game clock is not running if you think 2-3 more secs is gonna help you get into an offense

No

he was -6 in the first half. My question to you was about the offense playing so well in the second half because K was in the game. He played the same 14 straight minutes in both half’s. If it’s as simple as having K on the court, why didn’t that happen in the first half?

 

[Col. Bleep]

We've also forgotten to mention that this game clinches a winning season.
That's one thing Jim Boeheim has always delivered.

 

[Newhouser]

Kadary is The Disruptor.
Took ND out of their game and handled with confidence.

Braswell was big on D and playing smart.

And Buddy had a personal scoring best.

Kadary also had some big buckets off aggressive drives. Marek too.

 

[realorange]

Brasswell's smarter on d and more consistent focus at both ends.

Braswell lets the game come to him. Griffin, not so much.

 

[djcon57]

The answer is easy. The lineup with Buddy and Kadary didnt get enough time to produce what they did in in the 2nd half

They barely played together
