Pre-season 2022

That was one of worst possessions of basketball I’ve seen from all three of the offense, defense, and officiating

Leaky’s getting a little handsy up top on the second one, but Jayden just gets beat by a bigger dude on the first one.

Ha. Either could be called but think you are right. Love Leaky

Haha most of the other chatter is that defense has a lot of work to do + Bennett saying BVP needs to use his mind while playing defense (or something along those lines). Not going to give his take on the defense quote too much weight until we see it in action.

That reads like the effort and willingness is there but not the know how ha. TB has some low key hilarious quotes

Said differently “how does someone so smart keep making so many dumb defensive mistakes”

My third year, I had a redshirt 5th year lacrosse player in one of my PLCP seminars. It was his only class so he came to class for 2.5 hours once a week and that was it. Living the dream

My unironic / totally earnest read of the “Ben will have to use his mind” quote (I try to be earnest only when I have to be) is that Ben’s strength in hoops, especially at the ACC level, is his experience and hoops IQ, and he’s going to need it to thrive in our defense.

What about “Ben is going to be so bored in the classes he’s auditing because he’s practically finished a Ph.D., so playing the pack line is going to be the most intellectually stimulating activity he will have all week”?

Ben will have to use his mind to imagine playing defense from the bench because Traudt and Dunn are taking all of the minutes at the 4
