Postgame Thoughts… ND

Final four baby!

 

[Col. Bleep]

This game may mark the first time the Orange ever came out of a late timeout with an effective play. (Although Seth Greenberg -in talking about that play - called Boeheim "one of the best game coaches in college basketball."

And good, strong D on the final possession.

 

[OrangeDW]

Well done on many fronts. Benny and bell need to battle it out for the the other starting spot, the 3 should be Taylor

Brown

We’re just going to spend all season knocking ACC teams off the bubble lmao

Fully expected to blow that. Thrilled we didn’t. Always great to beat the Irish.

Fully expect to get to 10-5 or so, with “Boeheim’s got this team turning a corner” narratives. Then we’ll probably go like 3-13 the rest of the way.

Funny you being that up. Our next 7 games…Great chance we are 11-4.

Oakland-W
Georgetown-W
Monmouth-W
Cornell-W
Pitt-W
BC-W
Louisville-W

Pitt looked pretty good last night.

Yep, a great win because honestly every win is a great win this year.

Going forward, I think Taylor over Bell is pretty obvious at this point. Hopefully Mintz gains some confidence from that last shot.

I know Bell is a board whipping boy, and he's got a lot of room to grow, but I think we need to keep seeing what we can get from him. The dude can make a shot and on a team with guys with various limitations, that has some value too.

The best case scenario is that Bell and Taylor keep getting better as the year goes on. We need multiple options at F.

Rename it the JBA Wireless Dome immediately.

Said that JB is a master of drawing up plays out of times out.

Exactly. Softest schedule you could possibly get.

Would be thrilled if we could both win them all AND grow and gain confidence from that winning and build on it for the second half of the season.

The 2012 team didn't even win at Notre Dame. This group is special. I kid I kid. A win is a win though. If we can get some scoring from JG3 we can be competitive

never said don’t play him. if he’s playing well he can play some mins, but he refuses to rebound. thats a problem.

I sure didn't have Jesse Edwards plays 40 minutes with 0 fouls on my SU-ND bingo card.

I don't think it's close. I think JT >>> Bell. I mean, he's shooting 40% from the floor and 31% from three or something and barely doing anything else.

Give me JT all day. Bell can still play, coming off the bench.

Keep rotating them both about 20 minutes a game. Don’t sacrifice one for the other. We need them both. Keep developing both of them.

I heard Georgetown was good.

Good win! Jesse has really developed into a great player for us...would love to have seen him on one of our better teams that were lacking a legitimate center. JJ Starling got the L.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

he refuses to rebound

Pretty bold statement considering he just set a career high in rebounds, boss.

No less than a dead guy though
