Well we can’t shoot worse and we’re only down 5 so that’s good. Feels like we saved De Ridder for 2nd half, he should be able to score a lot

If we just go 5/16 from 3 we are up 4 points

Aren’t we supposed to blow out teams like this?

Yuck. This loss would be 2 seed lines so just find a way to win and fix everything later.

I mean other than more Xhnave and less Tillis it’s on the players. Malik has disappeared for two games now. The 5s barely give us anything. Jamari’s still working back and Lewis is hot and cold. Oh and hall has become a black hole. Guys need to figure it out.

2-16 from 3 and down 5. If we come back toward the mean even a little we win comfortably

They called Hall for not letting the jumpshooter land early in the game. They let it go when it was Thomas’ turn. Should have been three shots. Malik can’t catch a break.

Odom needs to start taking more techs.

This is standard mid-conference play stuff. Gutting through wins. It’s not a cakewalk to 25+ wins.

I think Odom has been pretty good around getting a pulse as to who is on/off game to game. I think the mins will reflect that in the 2nd half.

It’s late January in the ACC on the road. As long as we can escape these games with wins nobody will care come March. Plenty of great teams go through this

I’m just pissed. We’re 10-17 from 2. We need to pound the ball inside when 3s aren’t falling yet we continuing just jacking 3s and this isn’t the first game where this has happened.

Welp, we have GrĂźnloh, Hall, Thomas, and Tillis in a slump. 13% on wide open 3s. Defense has been half-ass intensity at best. Only down 5.

2-16 (12.5%) on threes. Damn, you almost have to try to shoot that badly.

Even if we made those half time 3’s they wouldn’t count

Duke went to the buzzer at home with GT and at FSU that are also sub-100. Sky isn’t falling (as long as we end up winning)

Disappointing half… but with a team that relies on the 3 so much… you’ll get halves like that.

Problem is if you keep playing games like this a team is just gonna shoot hot enough to beat you and all a sudden you’ve got a Q3 loss

Feed it inside to Ugonna, GrĂźnloh, and Deridder. More mins for Jacari. Less min for Tillis. Tell Malik to keep driving.
