Yeah, Lunardi thinks the loser of this game is effectively out of the field barring some other major upsets
Yeah⌠all the announcers talk about is how everyone is a tournament team.
Right. According to Bilas the âeye testâ is what matterâŚnumbers are secondary.
They also usually say the tourney should never be expanded, quite the paradox
So an âeye testâ of a good rec team playing at Slaughter⌠they should be in the tournament?
Is Cory calling our game? Wonder if heâll endorse us as a tournament team? Guessing not
Downhill driving guards are what weâve been missing since Malcolm Brogdon. Reece is much better but I canât name anyone else that weâve recruited that can handle well enough to drive downhill, create contact, score etc.
Those are the types of guards and play that earn calls during the ACC and NCAA tournament that good teams have.
Before anyone mentions it- our Natty team had Ty, Kyle, and Dreâ, BUT those guys werenât downhill drivers however at times did an okay job of it. They were just VERY efficient shooters.
To summarize- an equalizer to BAD offense/shooters are those Ishmael Leggett guards that can drive, finish or get fouled.
Never at D1 or D 2 level ⌠a ton in high school though⌠I even did triple headers in high school and during Christmas tournament season I did 12 High school games in 2 days one time - of course I was 23.
Anyone see Teddy V yetâŚâŚ
I think I got an extra ticket to the night games. my pal has to bail. Upper corner, Row J. Probably free but need to confirm. DM if interested.
Bonus: you get to hang with me.
âI actually know _____ on the committeeâ
Agreed. Weâve tried a lot though over the years to get that kind of guy. Itâs the white whale.
Honestly, it is my hope that Eli will be that for us.
We literally have one on our roster right now who doesnât play much or at least only against North Carolina
I feel like, 10 years from now, Iâll say I wish we just had Reece & EG as our starting backcourt for 1 year.
Just wish Reece had 2 sidekicks as good as Kyle & Dre. Wouldâve been the GOAT PG.
Man I love the ACC Tournament. It is 70 degrees in Jersey City Nj right now and Fresh is pregaming
Go Hoos!
One thing Iâll say about Jersey city: itâs not in Ohio.
When you have a guard who can get downhill and score at the rim, thatâs not something you waste! Cmon now! You save him for when youâre down double digits to the best team on your schedule. Yâknow - âbreak glass in case of emergency.â
Just donât think about it and it all makes sense
