Offensive foul on Daniels lol. The other UL player climbed Daniels back to block the shot. But ok. 2/1/2020 2:39:56 PM |

Markell was fouled on the drive, misses the shot. Bryce tried to board it but was smacked out his hand out of bounds and it’s off us? Idk about that. But maybe it was obvious up close 2/1/2020 2:42:46 PM |

Well I thought Nwora was going to put up 30+ on us, at least that would've been more reasonable than Ryan fucking McMahon torching us.

I can go to an empty gym shoot like that if nobody guards me. He missed the only shot he was being guarded. No one was even in the picture on his first 4.

Chris Mack doing that annoying Roy Williams shit where you make a basket and then immediately call a timeout. What a stupid rule that you can even do that when you no longer have possession of the ball. 2/1/2020 3:32:00 PM |

FWIW, Beverly, Johnson, CJ, Andree didn't just forget how to shoot btw. It's a product of our piss-poor offense.

So I have a question. Keatts didn’t recruit Markell. And Markell is quite talented and I don’t mean to take anything away from him. But do we think our offense changes at all with a PG that KK actually recruited?
[Edited on February 1, 2020 at 3:44 PM. Reason : Markell looks for his own shot a lot and sometimes that’s good. But is that Kell or KK?] 2/1/2020 3:43:39 PM |
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27836 Posts user info edit post |
Idk. Who starts at PG next year? A freshman? Beverly despite being the worst defender on the team? Daniels??? 2/1/2020 3:45:47 PM |

disagree. I think people think about those guys and conflate early season games against shit teams with ACC play and against other decent teams. They don't get many open looks against good teams because we can't penetrate effectively which is our only real go-to.

I like Markell a lot, but I wonder if his non-caring attitude doesn't rub off on the team. A lot of times he just looks like he's coasting out there.

^^Unless a miracle happens, next year's team is gonna be dogshit, may as well take our lumps with a freshman IMO.
Can anyone answer why we don't occasionally space the floor with DJ outside? It would certainly open up driving lanes and the guy can shoot 3s, but we never utilize him like that anymore? 2/1/2020 3:48:49 PM |

Cam Hayes is my guess. But yeah. A freshman. So a learning curve, I’m sure.2/1/2020 3:50:06 PM |
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27836 Posts user info edit post |
He's shooting like 20% from 3 on the year
My hope is some combination of Hayes/Seabron/Daniels run point next year and Beverly gets like 10 minutes a game. I know that will never happen but I can dream.] 2/1/2020 3:50:23 PM |

shoutout to the handful of fans who keep doing the "air ball" chant every time the guy with a career high in 3 pointers made touches the ball 2/1/2020 3:59:47 PM |
dmspack oh we back 25532 Posts user info edit post |
Man something just feels off about this team. I’m not trying to be the guy that claims to know how to read body language and know what the team chemistry is like. But this recent stretch just seems really off. Keatts’ teams have lost plenty of games in the past but it seems like it always felt like effort was there. And the players were generally engaged. Seems like that’s been missing lately.
Maybe they just aren’t good. That’s definitely part of it. This team has pieces but isn’t a complete team. I don’t really like doing the thing where fans over analyze team chemistry or player psychology from afar. Because it seems dumb. But something just looks and feels off about this team. 2/1/2020 4:15:22 PM |
justinh524 Sprots Talk Mod 27836 Posts user info edit post |
i don't disagree. I am hopeful that next year Daniels and Hellems will step up as upperclassmen leaders to provide that kind of leadership/promote team chemistry because they are clearly the heart and soul of this team. That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be the best players on the team, but they can definitely set an example for the freshman with the intensity they play with (especially on defense.) 2/1/2020 4:27:24 PM |

I agree. Can’t put my finger on it but we just don’t play with much intensity. I was 10 rows back from court side for this one and got the tickets for $11. They just seem to quit on plays, especially down low 2/1/2020 5:54:49 PM |

I know our typical thing is to suck when we're supposed to be good and be decent when we're supposed to suck but I just don't see how we can do anything next season. The roster is going to be trash with the exception of Funderburke. So you're looking at Year 5 before we can do anything and realistically Year 6 when this incoming class is going to be juniors...rough 2/1/2020 9:14:10 PM |

These guys just arent top level ACC guys. You hope they can become Bryce but, we've watched all three of those guys and I don't see them even getting there. And a team where the 2nd or 3rd best guy is CJ Bryce apparently isnt a tournament team as we've found out these last 2 years2/1/2020 9:16:02 PM |
