Postgame Thoughts… NC State

[Newhouser]

He does a lot of smart stuff. He's got great hands. He FINISHES...no panic underneath.

If he could develop a 12' jumper, he coud be another Wallace.

Um John Wallace?

Remember when we thought Jimmy was gonna play 9 or 10 guys?

He did up until like 5 games ago, rotation tightened up as the best players showed out

One of the things I have rarely seen here, but I have come to understand, is that other college coaches really like JAB. Not universally, of course (Nate Oats pushed back, as did the Bryant HC). But the vast, vast majority appreciate his coaching acumen and what he has done for coaching. He advanced his profession. He talks to young coaches in the summers. They approach him, maybe less so now than they did 10-15 years ago, but he’s showed genuine interest in others. Some of this happened through USA Basketball, which JAB was involved with besides being Coach K’s assistant. To say JAB is “revered” might be a bit too strong, but it is not far off.

I think Keatts likes JAB and feels comfortable enough in that moment to say something about the craptastic refs. And JAB essentially said, “yeah, get in line, it’s a long one, they’ve sucked a lot more than just tonight.”

This was my take too. “I get it - we’re an ugly step child here too.”

 

[Millhouse]

This is a pretty poor take considering we got 3s from a 19% shooter, and a senior who made his first one ever.

Pretty sure you're all alone on this strange comparison

Just finished game on dvr.

gritty, gutty performance.

Judah was fantastic. Getting better every day

Jesse started so shaky, then was just dominating at the end. Great boards throughout

Joe def had his moments but I almost broke my tv when he started complaining with the ball still on the ground. Jesse bailed him out.

Bell had his moments too, but still just dreadful on the glass. He has to start boxing out. still much better on rotations.

Brown was amazing on D. sometimes shaky on the d boards a little, but was very very good on o boards. Time for him to start looking for a shot when he has a short guy on him.

Worst Taylor mins maybe all year. Looks awful in all phases.
also maybe worst Sy mins.
benny, again, just doesn’t defend.

I normally am screaming for bench when guys were so exhausted (bell and brown specifically were like walking up the floor), but no one could give us mins...so I got it.

the refs? I honestly thought the only call we got lucky with was the last Judah call. The charge was a charge. The Joe flop was payback for the refs not stopping the game for getting slapped in the face. the result is what it should’ve been.

Girard's embarrassing flop and then quitting to complain looked terrible. Mintz has his own troubles at times at the end of games but at least he tries to win the right way

Embarrassing flop? No such thing, he got the call (unless I’m thinking of the wrong call). As for mintz he’s pretty consistently beat down the floor defensively when he doesn’t get a call. He did it twice last night. Criticism is fair, but should be consistent.

You should be embarrassed too

 

[All4SU]

Keats should have been T’d up in a previous TO. He was all over the ref and wouldn’t let up. The refs gave him too much latitude. On the court continuously, barking at the refs, following the ref around. Over the top. That’s why you T a coach.

 

[All4SU]

This. What was he thinking

Agreed. Except they were playing pretty well with 4-5 minuets to go.

I think we forget how good he was. That's a wild comparison.

 

[longtimefan]

This. What was he thinking

I thought the biggest mistake was leaving Burns out there after he got his third foul. Sit him down for a couple of minutes, and you have more fouls and time to play with.

M2M too!

NCSt is not known as a liberal arts school.

Burns was killing us in the middle of the zone and they sat him for way too long. Thanks to Judah for being so good at drawing fouls. That swipe Burns took when Judah blew by his defender was the difference-maker.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Did Girard not get elbowed in the face? They’re lucky they didn’t get a flagrant there.

Not on the second one. That was a flop

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I was surprised it wasn't called out of bounds for hitting the side of the backboard.
They would call it out if it hit the top of the backboard. Not sure why the side wouldn't be the same.

I don’t think this is true

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He also missed a gazillion layups. Mostly Against Burns.

Not really layups, as he was being defended on most of them.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I don’t think this is true

I think it may have to go over the backboard, but unsure.

 

[SWC75]

Reminded me of Hak years ago against ND when he threw the ball in the air to run time off the clock at the end of the game.

I always thought Hak must have seen this old clip, (watch to the end). As I recall, Hak mis-timed it and there were still a couple of seconds when the ball came down. JB said he's had a sudden attack of insanity.


Also: that's what cheerleaders used to look like. Actually, that's what girls used to look like.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Body type like Danya Abrams. Shooting touch reminiscent of Waymon Tisdale.

Tisdale, nice. Lefty, too. JB said Zach Randolph.

 

[Franz69]

Pretty sure JB is saying “wait a minute, I’ve been F..Ed by the refs before too, back off!”

Look at the guy in the light blue shirt in the background. He seems pretty amused, so can't imagine it was anything bad.

 

[Franz69]

Posters who live in glass houses, etc.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Lots of guys got chances. Some folks would rather play 10 and lose.

 

[SWC75]

Definitely not laughing at first. Keats was upset by something initially. He then realized how much of a whiny bitche he looked like and then did the ‘ol slap on the shoulder routine while smiling

Byron and Shelley weren't too happy about it, either.

Agreed. Except they were playing pretty well with 4-5 minuets to go.

Correct. While he probably should have been put in sooner, they were down 7 when he went out with his 4th foul and were only down 3 when he came back in.
