Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 4120226, member: 6797"] Honestly as a Fanbase I don’t know what we did to deserve this year and specifically the last two games. As for today a few thoughts. -Buddy’s regression is mystifying. It wouldn’t be so bad if he were not playing selfish basketball and actually looking for open guys. Also he is a horrific defender who does not bother to go for loose balls. I mean he already has 5 to 10 air balls this year. How is that even possible? -every game is the same with jg3. 2 to 4 Incomprehensible turnovers. He is a deadly shooter when open but it’s also plays selfish hero ball in inopportune times. The turnover that led to Jesse fouling out was totally inexcusable because it was borne out of an insipid, selfish play. Why is this not coached out of him? Why is he allowed to play like he is Steph Curry? Four unforced turnovers today. -We all want Benny to get better and we are all rooting for him. But he just stands around on offense and does not look for the ball or cut to the basket. As a result it is like we are playing four on five on offense. -I don’t care how many points Jimmy had today, he gave them all back on the defensive end. And that is his father‘s fault not his. He simply is not able to play the five at the ACC level. This guy should be a complementary player giving us 15 to 20 minutes off the bench. Instead he is playing more minutes then he did at Cornell. That is all we need to know. I think we win the game if Frank had been at the five after Jesse fouled out. -I understand that people are angry about the non-foul call at the end of regulation. But the simple truth is the coaching was horrific. We could not get the ball inbounds. We had no plan and had four guys bunched together. And that has been a problem all year and nothing has changed and no adjustments have been made. Putting Jesse back in, the most foul prone guy on the team, with 9 minutes left was coaching malpractice. -It sucks being a diehard fan for this team. It is almost irrational to route so hard for a program that doesn’t seem willing to help itself. But we will keep rooting for this team as we should but I can’t help already to start thinking about the roster for next year. but guess what? Two things will not change next season. First you need athletic players to win. Second you can’t play zone on every possession in the year 2022. The game has changed and every team has shooters who will make open shots which every zone will give up. I don’t understand why JB can’t accept that and adjust. [/QUOTE]
