Preseason Practice...

Agreed. But I just can't help but wonder what would have happened in last year's ACC tourney if Buddy had not lost his composure and got suspended for the Duke game.

JB's teams generally come on strong late in the season, when teams don't have time to prepare for the zone. Last year was no exception. We blew out a decent FSU team, and almost won the Duke game even without Buddy. If we had won the ACC tourney, and got the NCAA invite, there's no telling what may have happened.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

My hot take is that we would have lost worse if Buddy played. And I'm not a Buddy hater - he was very important and I liked him. He saved us a number of times and he made a lot of tough shots. But against Duke we needed better athleticism, especially on defense. That's what it takes against a team like Duke - see for example Benny in the regular season. Symir provided that athleticism upgrade. And Joe, Jimmy etc. picked up the slack on offense that game - they played ferocious in part for Buddy's sake. I guess we'll never know.

Football won’t be around forever. If it could last until January that would be wonderful.

I think this hoops season has to be the swan song. Too much is at stake.

You’ll be disappointed.

His shot looks 100 times better. It actually looks soft, with some arch.

I think that Ben needs to hang with the mob for a couple of weekends

Not sure what that 3-15 was about...
