Oh it's definitely not easy, particularly on the road.
This is where not having reliable post players on the bench hurts. And High has played his tail off these two games, but he's overmatched.
But it's not just about those two guys. Our guards cannot create offense on their own. And the open...
We've botched enough of those lifetime Heel fan/recruits to know better that these are sure things. Jawad, Jackie and even ol Melvin Scott (in our UNC chat, one of our guys totally hates one guy per year...and at that time his guy was Melvin Scott) were squarely Doh recruits.
There's plenty...
Hubert was here for the Fire and Ice era at State (those were some tough teams), but he definitely doesn't have the burning disdain Roy had for those guys.
Overall
Conference
The other thing that jumps out immediately is the opposing FG% in conference play (and number 1 in blocks). Without looking at advanced stats would suggest our help defense may be too aggressive.
State whupped our ass. Beat us in all facets of the game. Shot better, more athletic and tougher. Missing Caleb and Vasaar obviously put us in a pickle, but this is where flaws in roster construction are exposed. We could not hit the side of a barn from the outside...many were quality looks too...
I was originally going to post this to the Random thread but I thought there's enough niche hoop junkies on here that y'all might be interested in reading this stuff.
I use to have a blog named Hoops in the Tropics that covered my basketball season in Costa Rica. Problem was that I knew some...
Haven't done the exhaustive search tbh. Would probably focus on the bule bloods and quasi blue bloods.
UCLA is an interesting case.
Don't know if Ben Howland averaged 25 wins. He had success early on (3 straight FFs), then had some rough years missing the tourney 2 of 4 years. Was fired after...
Some loose thoughts after catching up on the last few pages:
-Felton had a pretty long NBA career (10+ years), averaging 11.3 ppg over that career. Made tons of money and played a long time . Hardly a bust.
-I'm real happy that Caleb Love is doing well in Portland. I always thought his greatest...
Tubby's a pretty good answer. Never missed the tourney. Got the axe as soon as they dipped below 20 wins.
Uconn waited for the second bad season of Kevin Ollie before swinging the axe. BTW, that is more a similar run than I'd care to accept.
Not an anti Hubert...just my two cents.
The hiring/firing decision of HD should be on the merits of the case: I wouldn't bring the political leadership of the UNC system or race into the decision. That he's a beloved alum and the handpicked successor to the Carolina Way has given him some...
Even against a crappy Pitt team, that may have been one of the better games Hubert has coached.
Cuse and VT should be wins. Would be nice to pick up a quality win against one of the other squads. Could be Louisville or Clemson.
Haha...that's one thing I thought the conspiracy theorists in our ecosystem would bring up.
That's for a job with the U20 women's team which has a competition in July.
I coach on the men's side and aside from a brief stint as an assistant, I'm not too involved with the women's side (which is...
