We were excellent in that regard last time. Martin and Aberdeen completely took away his ability to get to the rim or get off his lobs. We’ll see...
Especially the roster construction and the intentionally the staff brings to everything. From high usage rate guard to get higher shot volume and...
What stands out is how much the league won in out of conference play. We’ll have our fair share of early flameouts in March (especially from teams...
Yes, it was an unbelievable win against a very solid team and obviously not an example of padding data against such a team. Solid read of my post.
I find our position fascinating wrt the analytics. I can see how some might think the metrics overrate us. We have basically padded the data by...
For the staff, it’s a no-brainer. Chinyelu and Condon are first-year starters, and Alexis is playing at this level for the first time. All of them...
And all 3 were today! Martin to start, Richard to build up the big lead, then Clayton to close it out.
He has been cleared for a while, iirc. Plan was always to redshirt, but maybe Alexis’s struggles in league play and the need for a little more...
Not many coaches like to press. There are some who live by it, but very few. Gives up too many easy looks on the back end. Teams usually figure it...
So we lose to a 6-7 seed (or 10-11), despite the fact that we have only lost two games all year, both to teams seeded higher than that? Okie dokie.
If we are in a zoom action, then that PG (who doesn’t want to be a PG, apparently) is off the ball coming off a screen for a dribble hand off. Or...
I hear ya, but the reality is that probably happens regardless. We are likely a 1-3 seed, which means odds are good that we get bounced the second...
Still 5th offensively in KenPom and Miya, 7th in Torvik. I’m not panicking. Offensive rebounding + transition/early offense makes up for a lot, as...
Some of the picking up the dribble he coming of the DHO/Zoom action, at least from the bigs. With the guards, it’s usually that they want to hit...
They are all pretty young and raw. Alexis is the only junior, and he is actually the youngest of the group. They play hard and they are physical,...
Undoubtedly. Those hard hedges and blitzes really keep Clayton, Martin, and Aberdeen from turning the corner and getting downhill, where they...
I’ve never quite thought of him in that vein, but his intensity has shot up massively this year.
Exactly. One thing I thought about this team all along is that they weren’t going to be upset proof, but they may be blowout proof. Experienced...
That press could only really work against such a bad ballhandling team as SC. One of the worst teams in this the country in steals allowed, very...
I love the fans who take shots at Clayton. Between FSU and UNC, the kid had 21 assists and 8 turnovers over 6 games while averaging 19 points and...
