Because hands are easier to move than feet?

Just keep your hands out is all.

Why wasn’t Ron out on the court screaming at the refs. Imac was fouled consistently in the 2ndv half. I didn’t pay as much intention in the 1st but the whole 2nd half was hacking and holding. The coach should have been raising hell about it. I don’t know if Ron ever gets mad.. At least Tony would try half heartedly to work the refs and occasionally lost his cool.

Yeah, his feet are there many times but he just sticks out the arms and starts windmilling.

Is Saunders one of those dudes who plays college basketball then gets drafted in the NFL to play TE? Asking for Belichick…

Can we lend Saunders to the football team for the Pinstripe Bowl and take some RB or CB or S from the football team who can dribble and touch paint? Seems like a fair trade.

We are playing in some low tier bowl, right? Right?

Have you guys ever seen the Key and Peele skit with the anger translator for Obama? Ron needs one of those.

Ok, so now we have the Women’s basketball transformational gift. The football transformational gift. When is the men’s basketball transformational gift being announced?

Lol Im sure the men’s team has the money it needs if and when it wants it. Just a matter of the next coach whoever it is actually embracing it openly rather than hesitantly

UAs? Kevin Plank? I know him a little. He sank a ton into UMd and into his HS St. Johns.

He was an early partner in Dragon Rugby Academy.

Is this year’s team a top 30 team with 5th year Reece as pg?

  • Yes
  • No
0 voters

(and just imagine in general going from no pg to 5th year G League POY Reece Beekman as our pg mannnnnnn broke ass UVA)

No to Top 30, but with Reece and Tony Bennett we’d be a bubble team.

I voted yes. I think we underestimate how much of an impact a good pg has. Cleaner passing, more wide open 3s, cleaner looks at the rim, more opportunities for reece to score and drive on our stagnant posessions., less turnovers = less scoring for the other team

I’d say more like bubble team or so. Top 50ish. PG is the major issue but there are others

Id argue though that the other issues would be alleviated as the season developed and players gelled better to both eachother as new faces and the new scheme. A veteran all acc pg would help that too and lockerroom presence would help with demoralization
