Post Game Notre Dame

[cusefan88]

Happy for the boys. The team is not very good but if they could manage the proper effort for 40 mins they could be just ok.

 

[McCuse]

He was moving and he stuck his leg out. Obvious call.

Definitely

 

[JustPherU]

When was the last ejection of an opposing coach in the Dome?

 

[capeorange]

Great come back!

Cuffe 10 for 10 from the line! The rest of the team needs to put in more time working on their free throws.

 

[phil77]

Biggest adjustment Red made was not being worried about JJs ego on the defensive end and took him off Burton in the second half and put Cuffe on him.

Beside one late game hiccup that I hope Red reflects on that was a great second half by him with outstanding halftime adjustments.

Cuffe needs to start.

 

[SwagSocks]

Nice win. I almost turned it off down 17.

I did turn it off to watch the NFL game. Saw the last 6ish mins. I'm a bad fan

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Bottle up that second half effort. Happy for the team.

 

[McCuse]

Maybe have Kyle Cuffe give free throw lessons at practice? I mean come on now.

 

[Cuse4455]

I think we should give Red a 10yr extension

 

[Scott11]

So happy for the team, staff and fans. The crowd was excellent. We showed some serious heart in the second half.
Speaking of which not sure how anyone here can’t be a Cuffe fan. He has had a great attitude all year, worked his arse off and can make free throws.
i’ve been very critical all year of Carlos, but he did a great job in the second half taking care of the ball and playing better defense.
JJ showed up nicely in the second half but it would be nice if he added driving and dishing to his game. And better d.
Happy for red. I have no idea why he didn’t call a time out on that late possession when JJ had to fire up a turnaround prayer, but he certainly did a nice job making defensive adjustments in the second half.

 

[florange44]

Great comeback! We’ll take any win we can get!

I do not understand the ”play” we ran late when JJ heaved up the terrible shot. That is not well coached. Cmon Red, run something instead of saying “JJ makes play”.

 

[llandz]

Nice win. I almost turned it off down 17.

I actually took a nap at that point. Just sort of dozed off while watching.

 

[rrlbees]

I think he was mad at the call on illegal screen bc that ref called it

Could be but I think he may have been mad that a call wasn’t made on Cuffe who seemed to undercut the shooter and didn’t give him room to come down. It’s one of those two.

 

[tptcuse]

I’m at our friends’ place and watched the last four minutes on my phone. Glad I didn’t see before that. Great to see just the fun part of the game! LGO.

 

[capeorange]

Cuffe needs to start.

Exactly! The guy has the most hustle of anyone on the team and for the most part stays in front of his man on defense.

 

[emjkay]

Seriously, dude is a mess.

Too bad he didn't have a blazer to throw at ref

 

[Eric15]

I know Eddie isn’t Shaq like we paid him to be, but he had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 1 foul and 0 turnovers.

 

[obliterata]

ND lost to Duke and SU by 8.

I think this means the Duke/SU game is going OT.

 

[capeorange]

I know Eddie isn’t Shaq like we paid him to be, but he had 13 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 1 foul and 0 turnovers.

His free throw percentage is similar to Shaq's

 

[orangefog]

Nice win. I almost turned it off down 17.

I was with you, lately that's the way it has gone. But, something felt different this game. It's Notre Dame, they suck. A tiny part of me thought we could come back.

 

[HtownOrange]

Nice win. I almost turned it off down 17.

I was thinking the same. Red's MO seems to be to start slow so he can play catch-up, I was ticked and about to demand a new coach mid-season. I don't like being that guy.

I stayed loyal and watched the Orange close to 9 at the half, mildly pleased since they were down 17. Watched the second half and couldn't stop watching as they inched closer. I was fretting the "we finally catch-up and then melt away", also characteristic of Red's style of coaching, but the guys simply didn't let up. Very pleased when JJ got the lead and slowly built. Loved Cuffe's glue-like defense on Sutton. Loved Carlos' rebound/take away from a 6'10" defender, that series with no score cost ND about a minute of time.
Not sure why the ND coach had a meltdown with a second left to play but it made the score look better. I'll take the W. Still not sure Red is the man for the job, but I'll give him credit for keeping the team focused, today, and keeping the pressure up.

Happy for the boys. The team is not very good but if they could manage the proper effort for 40 mins they could be just ok.

Rosters not bad it's middle of the pack for the ACC. Coaching has lost us 4-5 games.

 

[Eric15]

Next up is a very difficult game at Clemson, where our only ever ACC win is that walk-off buzzer beater by Battle.

 

[hungrychuck]

Gritty comeback win!

Well done. It was nice to see the boys show some fight.
