Team played excellent this weekend, everyone deserves credit including the staff, much better performance against Duke and another win against a ND team who has had our # a half decade +.

That said there was still some questionable decisions by the staff late in both games though certainly more for Duke. Certainly McCarthy clearing up the sideline right into a double trap is on him but the staff also has to let him know hey the double is coming, stay away from the sideline as much as possible. They actually had a great play on where Hiltz came over and was wide open for the pass. That's not on the staff per se but it has happened to many times the last few years to be noted as a one off either.

The more egregious one was the final possession for SU. First we took the second timeout when Hiltz wasn't in trouble, why burn it there when he's essentially running free? We also called it when he was below GLE so on the re-start he could't shoot at the next, that's 100% on the staff. I love Hiltz but there's no universe where he should be the guy on the re-start, he's not the most fleet of foot and you could see that turnover coming a mile away. The re-start has to be either with English or Anderson, maybe Hottle if you hoping his size can squeeze through the double and just run around with that speed.  It's those little things that are frustrating because we nearly went to OT ona a game we had zero business losing. Still the team/staff got the job done, hopefully it continues.
