Thanks for the clarification

MSU is still having their games postponed, fwiw. 2 of them now.

HoozGotNext · January 14, 2021, 9:27pm

Puts next week’s game in doubt. Supposed to play NC State on Wed

Foresthoo · January 14, 2021, 9:34pm

Grrrr. Wake and VT both have games that night so no make up w either of those.

Hoos9412 · January 14, 2021, 10:06pm

Maybe we play GT? That’s what they did with UNC and Syracuse when both of their Clemson games were postponed.

norfolk_hoo · January 14, 2021, 10:10pm

Maybe shift a game forward if another team has an open date

HoozGotNext · January 15, 2021, 10:36pm

Tough couple games for Ron Sanchez. They’re coming off a loss to D2 Belmont Abbey.

DFresh11 · January 15, 2021, 11:02pm

am I reading that score right?

HoozGotNext · January 15, 2021, 11:49pm

Yep. Scored 11 in the 1st half. Lost 61-37. Hopefully just a brief low point for Ron like some in TB’s early years.

Ouch

HoozGotNext · January 16, 2021, 10:55pm

Charlotte just beat that same UAB team 70-55. Hell of a one day turnaround for Ron’s bunch.

HooDat · January 16, 2021, 11:39pm

Will Clemson get to 11 in the first half?

HooDat · January 16, 2021, 11:44pm

Eh, sadly yes

HoozGotNext · January 17, 2021, 1:55am

Louisville down 12 to Miami at the half. Only other unbeaten in the league.

Kentucky fan base not approving of this response basically saying the egos of the 5 star busts is more important than winning games…

norfolk_hoo · January 17, 2021, 10:10pm

But then they get pissed when they don’t get the best recruits in the off-season. They’re impossible

Hooandtrue · January 17, 2021, 10:13pm

I think even that mentality is changing. Their board is now “We need 4 year players/in prioritizing 5 stars we are losing in state talent that produces at other power 5 schools” 24/7. I think the old heads there were always hesitant about the one and done culture. And their board lit up at the prospect of 3-4 year players like McKneely and the Podziemski.

Looking at schedules and current performance, starting to feel like FSU might be the favorite for the ACC regular season title. I hope we’ll nip them and snag it ourselves, but they are a talented squad. Will be interesting.

Wahoos · January 19, 2021, 2:46am

I’m surprised they aren’t ranked.

hoosfan35 · January 19, 2021, 2:56am

It will be interesting to see if FSU can continue to shoot the ball the way they have the last three games. They’ve been on fire.

But I’ve watched them a few times this year and they aren’t nearly as good defensively as they been in years past. Most notably, they’ve been surprisingly susceptible to getting beat off the dribble and that has resulted in a lot of straight line drives for layups and kick outs for wide open 3s.

I think if teams can avoid the temptation to run up and down with them (which is what they want) and take care of the ball that they can get really good looks. Of course, all of that’s easier said than done, but I do think we match up with them well this year.
