NCSU and BC game thread

It is BC. They have been pretty bad but were able to beat VT and Clemson. I hope we play more like we did against Wake than GT.

    In spurts we’re blowing them out. Then in alternate spurts we’re letting them right back in.

    Leslie is the best player on the floor. He gets so far under the basket and still reaches up and puts the ball in. He’s like Gumby, dammit.

    Really, really physical down low.

    Helps BC a lot if fouls aren’t being called.

    ummmm Alex Johnson needs to shoot less.

  4. coach13 01/19/2012 at 9:08 PM #

    did leslie deny Johnson the ball after that hard off the back 3 ptr?

    Alex Johnson may take the worst shots on the team. Brown is having a weird game. I think sometimes its coming too easy for him.

    AJ is not an ACC caliber player. I like his leadership but he is not good enough.

    Now we need to crush their spirit.

    We should have someone’s wife come in and explain how to crush a spirit

    This crew is letting them play. I like that. Good for our style of play, too.

    Bc is smaller and thinner than us.

  9. Rick 01/19/2012 at 9:12 PM #

    I am sure they will call it just like this against Duke and UNC

    Amen to that, Rick (about the wife thing)

    hustle….can’t coach it….gotta want it

  12. Rick 01/19/2012 at 9:13 PM #

    Nice hustle on defense but Howell has to stop that. The reaching will work against BC but not against any other team.

  13. TheCOWDOG 01/19/2012 at 9:13 PM #

    Nice, Tenuta influenced that. Go to the ball.

  14. Rochester 01/19/2012 at 9:14 PM #

    Richard Howell is all hustle. He and Leslie are picking BC clean out on the wings and up top. Most teams would probably make us pay for pulling our big guys out so far, but it’s there every time BC has the ball.

    Man, I wish we hadn’t pooped the bed against GT…

    It’s a long season, I know.

  16. BJD95 01/19/2012 at 9:14 PM #

    I would love to see this kind of officiating when we play the blues. Roy and K will both drop dead in the first half.

    / don’t really truly want them dead. I guess.

    Perhaps Phil Ford’s wife is available. Nah, she’s probably busy.

  18. coach13 01/19/2012 at 9:15 PM #

    Agree Rick…if that’s either blue team, they call a hand check b4 it gets that far

  19. wufpup76 01/19/2012 at 9:15 PM #

    “This crew is letting them play. I like that. Good for our style of play, too.”

    ^Agree. But I don’t like the idea of players with little or no skill being allowed to play hockey against guys with some actual skill. Can be a fine line.

    I used to play against a guy that you’d swear you’d just been used for a karate-chopping class after you got through the game.

  20. BJD95 01/19/2012 at 9:17 PM #

    The bed pooping helps our focus going forward. Can’t have our guys getting swelled heads.

    Oh, you can coach hustle. See Leslie, Calvin this year vs last.

  21. Rick 01/19/2012 at 9:19 PM #

    Whoever said you cannot coach hustle is plain wrong. It absolutely is coached.

    See last year compared to this year

  22. wufpup76 01/19/2012 at 9:19 PM #

    That’s some great ’80’s hair, Coach Mark.

  23. Rochester 01/19/2012 at 9:20 PM #

    Since we let them tie it at 21-21 we have outscored them 24-7.

  24. Rick 01/19/2012 at 9:20 PM #

    Pretty good first half.
    BC is about as bad a basketball team as I have ever seen in the ACC.
    What was Skinner thinking?

  25. wufpup76 01/19/2012 at 9:21 PM #

    Nice first half, overall.

    Intensity, passion and focus. It takes that for us to win. Glad we’re learning.
