Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 1686156, member: 906"] Our defense hasn't been good this year sliding in the backline dajuan, roberson and malachi have a ways to go in that reguard. That is 3 of our 4 backline players. On top of that we go a tall 6'9 as our tallest man in the backline. On the offensive end we are missing a 2nd true sf to go with the tall lineup, Howard came on late in the year, and many times we were lacking 2nd 3rd and 4th options, a couple other times we not only had a 1st 2nd 3rd option but also three fourth options. Inconsistany has been our achilles heel. Pitt three times, 4.wisconsin 5.Gtown, 6.st Johns 7-8. North Carolina 9 clemson were more on the defense. 9-10 of our 13 losses on the defense, miami was on the offense, virginia we weren't going to win, North carolina the second time was also aruguably more on the defense as well but anyones game, and I missed the second fla state.. The press is a great thing , its like playing a entirely different team when you can run it, imo that being said we should run it for more minutes to be effective as multidimentionality and making others adjust gives teams obvious advantages and ends grinding basketball. However that could kill the presses effectiveness late in games doing so. This team was actually a very strong pressing team imo, it nearly won the gtwon st johns pitt game, and probably stole one or two wins. If we had a deepeer bench to press more(BJ,Ron), had diagne, or jb all year we probably win another 1-2 games and are easily in. The ncaa totally snubbed us on those three, meanwhile I wish them luck but a team named kansas has a one seed because a player got released to play. Anyone else find it funny how all these sanctions happened the minute we left the big east, as if they want the tide to change from syracuse ville to the virginia and ncstates. UNC is just a smokescreen. Kinda wish we would jump on the big 10 and ville would head out to the big 12 and say forget you acc, then they could enjoy the mediocrity of nc state, wake, gt, and virginia all they want. [/QUOTE]
