I'm glad someone else thinks that too. JG isn't much better either. Also what was up in the second half with basically JG3 shooting on about 4 or 5 straight possessions and few of these were like WTH, especially the 35 footer. If that had been anyone else JB yanks him. Buddy didn't do squat and thought we played better without him in the 1st half. Why in the hell didn't HW get any kind of run in the second half in the begging or at least half way through. He's better than what we got at PG. Agree that Sidibe is useless. Marek played well but that 2nd and 3rd foul were total garbage. Should have been a charge not a block on the 2nd one, then he barely moved and Hughes knocks down a 3. Game changers. Qunicy is totally lost right now. Why not give Bras his minutes just like they did with HW over Goodine. Jesse is going to be good but he's still learning and not strong enough right now. If Hughes don't come back next year, next year will be worse than this year. There isn't anyone close to his skillset/game on this years team or what we have coming in. This crap is all on JB. I haven’t wanted to write that about Buddy, but my God it’s true. Buddy would be a great player with his brother at Cornell. He has a beautiful stroke, and he’s a cerebral player. Smarts only get you so far without athleticism. He is not an ACC caliber player. I tried to sugarcoat it a few weeks ago, but he’s got zero foot speed, no hops, and little handle. In fact, I think the time for sugarcoating is up. Against any physical team we’re toast. Sidibe is garbage. I’m simply waiting for them to concoct some new injury to justify his putrid play. Heaven forbid Jazz be right about Sidibe. I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong. I took a hard stance against Hughes when he joined from ECU. He’s a nice player. He’s got a beautiful shot. He most definitely is worthy of his scholarship. But, he is limited offensively in that he still struggles to blow by anyone. Most of his points are 3 point field goals, free throws and points on the break. He's a nice college player, and worthy of his starting position. But that’s I guess my point... our best player is a one dimensional shooter and transfer from ECU. Let that sink in. And you’re absolutely right Deano, about Washington. He deserved a run. Buddy’s stats don’t reflect how terrible he was because most of his points came late. I’m also dumbfounded that JB never even tried to speed the game up. We should have run every possession, and played everyone. Pressed for 40 minutes and exhausted them. Oh wait, our guys don’t have a strength and conditioning program. Marek would be winded after two minutes and probably need a smoke! In all seriousness though, JB is as stale and rigid as it gets. There is no salvaging this team. I don’t think we pass the eye test for the NIT. And, as we’ve alluded to, the pieces coming in next season won’t rectify the issues. As nice as Kadary and Woody may be, they’re incapable of guarding the interior. Jesse Edwards is no 210 pounds either. I’d be shocked if he was much over 180 which is what he was listed at until magically he gained twenty pounds the day he signed with us. I see right through the shit show folks. Two years ago I saw what was coming down the pike. Sadly we’ve decompensated faster than I thought we would. I knew we were on a downhill trajectory, but I didn’t think it would be this bad. But you know what? JB deserves this mess today. He was warned by countless people that the program was in trouble, and that recruiting would suffer as he aged and if Hopkins left. JB put his ego ahead of the welfare of the program and for that he no longer gets a free pass. This needs to be the last hoorah. If he hadn’t been such a jerk he could’ve gone out after our Final Four in 2016 with his middle finger in the air. Instead he’s going to go out with a whimper and leave the program in shambles for his successor. How convenient that will be, right? He’s going to trash the program on his way out so he can say no one could achieve the success and glory he did. Sorry JB, if that’s how you play this hand, you don’t deserve shit. There I said it. JB, retire, for the love of God, retire. Wow, me thinks you’re just a little pissed Jazz... but you know what? You’re right. If JB won’t retire, he needs to be forced out.

I’ve been saying! Run Buddy and Girard 35 mpg in the Patriot or Ivy Leagues. Can’t do that now and in the ACC. Things will get worse. Alvarado out for GT COMPLETELY changed the complexion of that game. It is not going to get better. We had like two career halves from two of our players and still lost to a depleted Hoya squad. I think Chukwu is better than Sidibe and that is a problem. Guerrier and Goodine are not very good.

First game I actually got to see on tv other than the web. Hughes is the real deal, why they stopped going to him all the time is insane. Ride your horse. Jackson sucked first half but was a machine second. The kid has a high give a shit meter but is limited athletically. My fellow Canadian brings nothing to the table. He has great energy but can not hit a shot of any kind and every rebound slips out of his hand. No inside presence is the major factor, if not why did they bring Jesse in?
My wife watched me drink beer and swear at the tv for over 2 hours, I do not want to do that anymore.
I think JB's ideas work, with the right guys.
Elijah is the only guy who has the skill to play it. As much as I like Buddy his lack of foot speed kills him. At the top of the zone he gets smoked. Would be interesting to see how Mark Few would use him (his only other big name offer) on the defensive side.
JJ3's decision making has to be smarter. Speaking of that, if Carey actually did what they said he did, see you later; pull his scholarship.
As a hockey coach, if someone did that they would be gone from the program.

Hughes is very good but he isn’t Kobe Bryant. He’s having to exert so much energy. GTown knew he was pretty much the main option and they paid him closer attention beginning to mid-2H. Hughes can’t be a Batman. He’s good but he’s perfect as a Robin on a talented team.

Shit we don’t even have two Robins. We have one Robin and a bunch of Ivy/Patriot League caliber players and no strength. That’s a huge problem. Any team with a decent coach will dare us to win inside, ball hawk like crazy, and deny the three point shot. Game over. We don’t have any inside talent. Zip, nada, none.

They zoomed in on the play and it looked like Carey tried to trip/kick the GTown dude’s feet. I mean the team is getting owned and you do that?!

Holy Cowz, how did the boyz lose to the Hoyas with a bunch of their dudes not even suited up. Man, I'z been on the bandwagon and supporting these guys but I'm starting to think like the rest of you now to say wez not that good. Depth issuez is hurting right now. Hopefully Jimmy can turn the ship around but itz not looking good right now. I wonder whatz going to happen if it's dud season the rest of the way.

Larry glad you are starting to see the light like most of us. It's a shame what's happening to the University and JB's legacy but hopefully the AD will have a talk with him to make the right decision and soon. We will be at the bottom or near bottom of the ACC this year without a doubt. I posted some links where staff is checking out 2021 kids but why are any of those kids going to want to come here. We are just wasting our time until JB is removed.

Worry about YOUR bad PG recruiting! He actually said (he’s right of course) that the team isn’t very athletic and doesn’t have a lot of team speed when asked about pressing last week on his show. These are YOUR recruits!

Certain folks on the other board are still blaming sanctions. LMAO
