Another good defensive possession, and it doesn’t matter because we give up another offensive rebound.

BB ball watching AGAIN

AdventiveQuasar · January 9, 2025, 4:52am

Not just on Blake there. Look where Saunders was on the shot (out of frame). And the guards don’t dig down hard enough.

UVApride7 · January 9, 2025, 4:52am

Holy fuck man. Just can’t get out of our own way.

BDragon · January 9, 2025, 4:52am

Yea Saunders and or imac let him through

JBHoo · January 9, 2025, 4:53am

Maybe we should try going back to how we had Jack Salt do it… just tip all rebounds backwards. Because what we’re doing currently ain’t working.

Saunders trying for the 2-for-1

AdventiveQuasar · January 9, 2025, 4:55am

Is the court really slippery? There’s a lot of dudes just randomly falling down or slipping.

TheVanillaGorilla · January 9, 2025, 4:55am

I don’t enjoy watching this team play basketball.

BDragon · January 9, 2025, 4:55am

Same note too

dave92 · January 9, 2025, 4:56am

Cal shooting a very high % when the shot clock is about to expire

Jwhelan33 · January 9, 2025, 4:57am

Held out as long as I could. Night everyone lmao.

UVApride7 · January 9, 2025, 4:57am

Yeah this isn’t good basketball. Cal is trash, one of the worst P4 teams defensively this year and we’re still shooting below 40% from the floor. Just feels like we have no juice.

MaineWahoo · January 9, 2025, 4:58am

Seriously, this just isn’t fun basketball to watch. It’s a slog.

Also fun that we’re having another “Where’s McKneely?” game. He’s doing nothing on the offensive end and on the defensive end he’s just sadly running around on late close outs. Bleh.

Richan34 · January 9, 2025, 5:00am

Not giving him bail but he’s being played quite physically aka held.

htraylor · January 9, 2025, 5:01am

We are bad - the sum of the parts is much worse than the individual talent we have. That being said, I’d make keeping Rohde as our PG for next year a priority. Him, Cofie, Saunders, and Sharma make a nice core. Add Elijah, and it’s a potentially excellent team.I know I’ll get sh*t for this, but I really think BB makes a huge jump next year - we’ll see how that ages.

dave92 · January 9, 2025, 5:04am

to which team?

htraylor · January 9, 2025, 5:09am

Ha ha That’s the problem.

MaineWahoo · January 9, 2025, 5:10am

I’m enjoying Rohde being among the better players on the team - it’s fun. But that says more about the team and where we’re at than anything. Looking at actually good teams in college basketball, they aren’t starting Andrew Rohdes in one of their guard slots.

We’ve stared at these dudes for forever and so we’re convinced there’s some hidden gems here, but really this roster isn’t that good and the guard play is straight up mediocre. I’m fine with all the guards leaving besides Sharma and maybe Elijah just because I personally like them and want to see if there’s anything there, but I’m losing zero sleep over anybody else departing. Even McKneely (I don’t care about basketball reasons, I just want him to graduate from UVA so hope he does before he leaves).

UVApride7 · January 9, 2025, 5:11am

Nice first possession on defense, smh.
