We’re looking really great on offense but something is missing on defense. Duke is also doing a really good job of preventing giving us looks from three. So far we’re missing shots and they’re making them. I think we just need to keep it close at half and hope for some tired legs in the second half, their big three basically haven’t subbed.
Second chance points the difference obviously and that was a Duke weakness in their recent games - happy with how the Hoos have played otherwise but think they’ll need to lean on the 3 to win (if they can start hitting them)
We can usually let the opposing team’s best player go off and control the rest of the game. Doesn’t work when there are two of those guys.
Guy Junter Jerome won’t go 2/12 from 3 in Cville - but Duke was missing Jones. These are the two best teams in basketball from what I’ve seen
I was actually pretty encouraged that we got taken out of offensive game entirely and still hung with them, that hasn’t happened in the past. This team is defensively not as great as some of the past teams, but it’s not like there were defensive breakdowns. They just hit some shots only NBA players can hit

It is pretty cool but it always bugs me when people monkey with the benchmarks. Like 42% and 84% are obviously cherrypicked for a reason.
so, i removed the teams from my fan of section last week. ours didn't work, fuck the redskins, and clemson fans tag gamecock fans in threads all the time.
Fuck. Today had been one of the greatest days in American history. I’m going to do my best to not allow the sabres to disrupt my mood.
Anyway, here is an article about a basketball player https://accsports.com/acc-analytics/everyday-dre-day-deandre-hunter-continues-growth/
All six of our league wins have been by more than 20 points if you discount the FSU stat padding against our backups.
like I say after every such one: any league road win is awesome... but jesus fucking christ that was so not awesome
I’m not smart enough to know why this doesn’t work but I don’t see why more teams don’t just pressure us at the 3 point line. It fucks us up every time.
He's headed to UNC. JO had a pretty insightful comment about how January is now overrated recruit season. Not saying he's a bad player, just that the limited supply makes certain guys seem more important than they are. Wonder how many kids will hold out until after the early signing period in future years to see how their interest spikes.
He’s definitely a project. Saw where he said we only have 13 scholarships for the 2020 class. Throw a walk-on on scholarship for the spring semester and use it next year.
after seeing the situation at USC with Kliff, I wouldn't want to even consider signing until February.
