🏀 UVA at Duke, Sat, 2 Mar, 1800, ESPN

Rohde’s airball to end the game is the epitome of this team. What does he do so well in practice?!

I think when your argument is that many other bigs are bad…it’s not a great argument.

Aye Rohde got to the line. Needed to be guarded by a 5’9 walk on but it worked

Hard to believe. No pressure… down 25. There’s no way he will be a positive player for this program at any point. I’ve seen enough.

I mean yea- it shows what he’s capable of before his lack of size/strength/stamina caught up to him late into the season as a teenager.

Hold up.

it’s actually pretty funny. That one game amounts to 14% of his entire offensive contribution all year. but yea, hell of a flash.

Oh he is probably awesome in practice. Look who is playing against. He probably light Taine up!

Can’t wait til the offseason

Been saying it for weeks. Dante Taine and Rohde should be 7,8,9 bench guys for any ACC team if they aren’t that for us next year we’re in trouble.

I think 7-9 is high. Dante isn’t a P6 player. Taine is fine but he’s low usage and gets abused defensively by better athletes. Rohde should transfer to St Thomas.

You said he’s shown 0 offensive flashes or skill. I provide evidence - you downplay it. It’s cool man - I know you get off on negativity. Hopefully we do a lot more winning next year so we see you around here a lot less

I wasn’t able to watch much of the game, looks like that’s for the best. Providence and Seton Hall got blown out at Marquette and Creighton this week and didn’t get dinged at all by bracketologists, but we get blown out at Duke and slide down? Why?

Quick mental health check on everyone after my early turn the game off decision. Everybody ok?

Not you @haney i already know the answer

Yes sir. They are here because of recruiting misses and transfers out.

Not what I meant. Good, bad, or indifferent career-wise it is hard to come into this league and excel as an 17/18 year old down low.

Was Mamadi Diakite a bad hoops player?

He averaged 3.8ppg as a 1st year.

This suggests something about what this team’s ceiling really is, regardless of shit we try around the margins. When Taine’s line ups are killing it … I mean … what does that tell you?

imo small miracle we are a bubble team.

You’re right, he’s shown zero offensive skills, pretty much nothing to speak outside of 2 feet. I would hope the guy makes an occasional basket considering he’s in school to be a basketball player. What you are describing is a miraculous event, not evidence that he has any real offensive game. I hope he develops and works on it. I think we can agree on that.

I feel like we have very little talent coming back next year. iMac, maybe Blake, maybe Eli? Yikes…. Well, at least we’ll always have 2019. If we can sneak into the NCAAT and win one game, then I’ll consider this year successful. Next year we’re toast.
