šŸ€ ACC Men's Basketball - Week 13: 26 January - 1 February 2026

Yeah… while it is still a business decision for them… obviously… they still seem to have bought into the team.

Now TDR can get a little selfish with the ball, but I think that is justs his personality. He WANTS to be the Alpha & ballhandler despite not having the handles to accomplish it.

Who has the best ballhandling on the team? Probably Chance… but he has issues himself.

I think TDR’s selfishness with the ball is sometimes more a deficiency than a choice. He gets tunnel vision pretty bad sometimes, but I don’t think it’s because he’s selfish, I think he just has a little trouble with his court vision once he sees the basket.

Both leaps and bounds above Neo in their desire for team outcomes though.

I think it’s also because the staff has told him to be aggressive and to be the man instead of the role player he was in Europe. It’s still unnatural for him.

TDR can definitely get into head-down driving mode, but his assist rate has ticked up in conference play (18% in conf v. 11% for the season), and also when you consider he is shooting 67% at the rim, drawing loads of FTs and getting his own miss a bunch, head-down TDR is still one of our better components of our offense.

I’m fine with head down driving mode as long as it starts at the 3P line and not halfcourt!

What do you mean higher hit rate you literally build the entire roster last off season

(Matthew Able to portal please but I know he’s one of like 2-3 Wade wants to keep)

They got like 5 seniors in their in 10-man rotation, so it’s not quite as dramatic is the quote sounds (typical). But yeah, sorry Colt Langdon, nice of you to come here for a season and sit on the bench, go to the A-10.

I think he is saying higher hit rate as in he’ll have more time to assess the guys he’s trying to go after so that his Hope or his statement is they will be actual high-level contributors at a higher percentage of who he adds

For clarity… If a coach thinks that he has to add more people and then doesn’t add them, he might try to add more after the fact of when he doesn’t add them and then after he realizes they’re not very good he might try to add more people like Alabama did in the middle of the year because there are no rules, but maybe there will be rules then but I don’t know what rules will be in effect then versus the ones that are now

Duke vs. Virginia Tech

Tough to miss when everything is an alley oop dunk.

I do think Avdalas is shooting himself out of the first round if he hasn’t already.

He also just always looks like he’s going through the motions and couldn’t care less about the final score.

Crazy to think how awful VT would be if Chester Frazier didn’t come back and get them Hansberry. Guessing they’d have some random scrub instead and be about 12-10 right now
