Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 883572, member: 289"] - We still aren’t a really good offensive team. Trevor Cooney has an off game and we score 57 points. We’ve got two real scorers in Fair and Cooney. Ennis and Grant can score some but not enough to carry the team Christmas and Keita were 1 for 5 and scored 2 points. Gbinije did manage a trey in 10 minutes. We aren’t bad on offense and it helps to give up 50 or less points but our firepower isn’t exactly scary. - CJ Fair continues to be shaky with the ball. He had 4 turnovers, two in the first two minutes on a pass to nobody in particular and a dribble off the foot. He now has 48 turnovers in 16 games after having 63 in 40 games last year. It’s more than just extra defensive attention: he got plenty of that last year. And it’s not always because he was trying to show the NBA some moves we haven’t seen before. What is it? Frankly, I don’t know. CJ’s always been the smooth guy who doesn’t make mistakes. He’s still a very productive player but his game is more chunky than smooth. - Tyler Ennis had an uncharacteristic 4 turnovers, all in the first half. He seemed, for the first time all season to be going for the flashy play, including a behind the back drive and a backwards pass to the other team. Maybe he was trying to impress Dick Vitale. He needs to concentrate on impressing Jim Boeheim. - The uniforms looked like North Carolina. The players sure didn’t. Jimmy Salatin kept saying that the Tar Heels had a run in them the end. No they didn’t. They scored on their last three possessions when it no longer mattered and we had stopped defending them. Before that they had a stretch of 9 possessions that produced two made baskets, one free throw and three turnovers. Once they fell behind, they had no semblance of an offense. The game just seemed to go out of focus for them. [/QUOTE]
