Postgame Thoughts… Georgetown

Jimmy is real crafty in the paint, but the extreme emphasis on iso ball with him… it’s too much. Way way too much.
I mean….it’s laughable. That CANNOT be our bread and butter.

We used to do that for Billy Owens and Hakim Warrick. Now….Jimmy Boeheim is the bread and butter when the game is on the line.

Make it stop.
 
Any open shot or missed rebound Benny gives up I can show multiple examples of Jimmy and Cole doing the same thing. If Benny looks "lost" in the zone in his 5 minutes what does Jimmy and Cole and Buddy for that matter look like all game?

Benny can't get on the floor because of his missed assignments and open 3s but GT rained threes on Buddy and Jimmy's side all day long.

Such a double standard the coach and board has. It would be different if the two forwards ahead of him actually played defense and rebounded but they don't either.

I do think we've made nice progress in having players look to get the ball into the post. We struggled with that for years now - we made a lot of progress on emphasizing it this season.
 
Should I go with bacon on my sub or not?
Yes. And I just picked up some of this for mine

That 3 they nailed when we were up 1 late… a no doubter
 
the Swider hate is overboard IMO.

He’s probably our best rebounder, he hustles, he had about 6 assists today. He’s literally the only one who’s contributing across the stat sheet. Sure he has some flaws, but without him the lineup we are worse

He plays and shoots too much. Get him in the right role.
 
A real PG who plays defense, penetrates and gets people the ball and frees up our shooters would go a long way.

But for the second season in a row, Coach goes out of his way to not use it. Absurd.

We played horrific basketball all second half by choice.
I don't think Symir is that guy unfortunately. I'm not really sure he's much better at any of that stuff than Joe, and obviously Joe brings a level of shot making Symir can't dream of. But Symir played well today and with Buddy's struggles, certainly deserved playing time in the 2nd half.

The scary thing is I'm not confident we have anyone coming in next season that can give us that either.

I don't think it's coaching.

We just don't have enough athletic talent to compete at a high level on a consistent basis.

We're just not that good. .

It's that simple.

But, there will be some fun games and some solid wins down the road.

I'll be watching it all.

Let's Go Orange!

that all might be true...but we can’t win with a lineup of Jimmy and Cole at forward. So one of them needs to come out and it ain’t gonna be Jimmy.
 
And despite all that we were up 1 late before a lucky Gtown 3
 
We all know why. JB only plays guys he trusts in the second half, and trust isn’t earned in the first half. Usually we have at least a couple guys on the bench that he trusts, but this year there isn’t anyone.
Collectively the best basketball we've gotten from our bench in the first half, and it absolutely did not matter.
