...to Cusefan0307 :
how you like those apples?

 

[SUfanNC]

I wish i could put Cuse fans number on the paper

 

[shu 49]

He has 1 weakness and thats not being aggressive enough. Kid can flat out play. Gotta get him attacking. Shoot a few short jumpers, make em and he is off.

I think he really likes JJ, but just has high expectations for him.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Dare I say that was a bit of a Tyus Battle like performance.

 

[cjmurray34]

respect cusefan for owning up to it! jj was incredible last night.

I will say this, SU looks pretty darn good when he and Bell are stroking the ball. Taylor contributed a bit also which was nice to see, and Benny played very well. Goes to show on any given night...

These guys have these performances in them (especially Starling and Bell), now they need to find some consistency.

Can we play some more Q1 teams like Pitt?

It’s hard to find consistency in college basketball as a three-point specialist. I’m happy he had a hot night.

It is strange that Judah played 39 minutes while Starling played 36, Quadir played 27 and Cuffe played 11. I’d have thought Mintz sat more with those numbers.

Taylor made the same number of 3's as Bell and had 5 boards. Not a shot at you but this entire board just runs that kid down - he is no more or no less inconsistent than anyone on this team and in 18 minutes last night he contributed more than a bit.

Agree. I really don’t see the need for Judah to play iron man minutes JJ or Q can handle the point for 5-7 minutes a game.

Taylor is mostly pretty solid defensively and on the glass while not being a black hole. If he can/could make shots consistently he will get more
minutes than Bell.

34 minutes
6-9 FG
4-5 3Pt
5 Reb
1 Ass
1 Blk
2 PF
0 TO
16 Pts

That's pretty good for your starting SF . . . . . . . . . . . actually that is Bell and Taylor Combined. Still it shows that both were productive and helped us win. They did it in 34 minutes or one allotment of starter minutes.

*Q2 win as of now

 

[kingtidge]

*Q2 win as of now

Are you on the selection committee?

 

[MGraves5]

Are you on the selection committee?

? That's an odd response... Pittsburgh's net ranking is 80, which makes that a Q2 win.

Judah overall played a poor game yesterday - hit his free throws otherwise way too many turnovers and just kind of out of it

He forces it against Pitt. IMO he's done that in each of his 4 games against them. He'll be better in the next one.

Honestly feel like our best chance to get more quality wins will be on the road since A) most ACC venues are morgues and B) crappy teams all of a sudden become Q1 scalps.

He had a career-high 9 rebounds. Considering his previous high was 5 I'd say that's a pretty good night on the road.

 

[cjmurray34]

Judah is breaking the flow of the offense but you can't clip his wings, elite scorers are rare, and you have to allow them the opportunity to deviate in the set to get something. There will be games when he has to take over. Just have to trust the process as he works through the funk he is in.

Taylor finally hit some shots, but has really struggled, especially against ACC competition. Hopefully, this game gives him some confidence. Would love to see more mid-range from JJ-He is money there.

that is why I gave him a nice mention. I never take shots at any of our guys even if they have a bad night/month or season. I support our players and our coaches because they deserve that. I am not a rich man able to contribute huge sums of money. I give a little when I can but I support the teams and I wanted to mention Bell, Taylor, Starling and Williams in the post because they all contributed , maybe not as much as JJ, but they did a real good job and I wanted to post positively about the team.

 

[djcon57]

Taylor... in 18 minutes last night he contributed more than a bit.

3rd best BPM on the team at 10.4 behind Bell at 20.6 and Benny at 12.0

Best Offensive Rating behind Bell as well. 18-24 mins is his sweet spot IMO.
