Yea for all the talk about Isaac struggling all of those struggles were from deep. He had the best game of his college career inside the arc

I love that he found a way. Really showing growth. Still need to up his defense but progress on offense.

I know the end was messy, but don’t underrate the difficulty of road games against tournament-quality teams. Wins-Above-Bubble is a convenient way to quantify how difficult a particular game is, and the T-Rank version of it has the Clemson game as tied with the Wisconsin game for our most difficult game we’ve played; a win was worth 0.68 wins-above-bubble (I.e. a bubble-quality team would be expected to win this game 32% of the time). The only more difficult game on our schedule as of now is the Duke road game.

One of my favorite things is Groves pump faking in the corner, then driving baseline, then using his arm to push his defender off, then drilling the 8 footer pull up.

Refs somehow never call it and he’s money. I guess he’s banking on bigs not being able to sell that kind of foul.

Can someone make me a youtube video showing all of Jacob Groves buckets from the last two games? Just for research purposes of course…

Tony struggling with saying Ian Schieffeilein’s name looking at the box score. Sell your “Ian in the portal” stock now.

Edit: Oh shit halfway point (jk the last question: 5:15 minute mark) Tony starts talking about him. You can tell internally when he asked “What year is he?” he’s thinking "soooo the portal?

Shieffeilein 1 year left, TJ Power 3 years left, Cofie redshirt. And then the following season Jr Power and freshman Cofie.

what? this is our best lineup

Whay’s funny is that no one seems to be able to spell Schieffelin’s name. I guess you don’t need to know the garbage man’s name as long as he does the work!

After the game my wife got worried because she touched my hand and it was freezing. I explained it was a very close game so naturally I went into physical shutdown mode. She understands.

To KenPom, all we did was outperform expectations by 6 points (KenPom predicted we’d lose by 5). 6 points in one game won’t move the needle much. But from a resume perspective, this was huge. I wouldn’t worry too much about KenPom’s indifference, for the NCAAT this was a huge leap.

Inserting Minor at the 5 and moving Groves to his natural stretch 4 position has been the difference maker for this team. Don’t look now but we are 8-3 and tied for 2nd.

We’re outright in 2nd right now at 8-3. Duke behind us at 7-3
