- We got out-rebounded again, only 32-35 but last year we were a pretty good rebounding team and with all five starters back, you’d think we could do better than we have been doing.
- We missed 5 of 18 foul shots. The last three games we have missed 22 of 60, (making 63%) and for the ACC season we are at 66%. This season it has made it hard for us to complete comebacks. But is can also make it hard to hold on to leads. It didn’t matter today but it’s an ongoing concern.
- Oshae Brissett played somewhat better but still has a way to go. He was 3 for 9 from the field and scored 9 points with 4 rebounds. He had 13 double-doubles last year and has had only 7 this year and none in the last five games, during which he has scored 44 points and grabbed 26 rebounds, average of 9 and 5 respectively.
- A hungry Jalen Carey finally got a chance to play after three straight DNPs. He eventually got a rebound and a steal but missed both field goals and a free throw and committed a foul and turnover. He was just trying too hard to make things happen and he made more bad things happen than good. He just can’t make the defense come out and guard him the way Buddy Boeheim can. But got off to a similar start but JB let him play his way through it and he wound up scoring 7 points with a couple of steals.
