best player on the floor VS best team on the floor along with their coach of the year blowing folks out every turn of the season… yeah I’m not as confident as you are.
We have a better chance of taking out Duke than taking out Clemson and then UVA.
Upon further review of the Yakety Sax vid, Grant did State a favor by trying to make a statement on the follow dunk. That was very makeable, then they are down 1 with 18 seconds to go. But I’ll take the banked 3 and the botched dunk followed by 5 wild threes. Credit to State for the good defense and not fouling on that sequence, credit to the refs for not “seeing” a foul.
Big ups to the Vandwagon, he played huge today. Only 1 block was credited but he altered more than that.
I’m cool with MG in a tourney setting. This is 3 ACCT semifinals in 3 tries, yes? Our guys’ body language is good. We have turned our maybe 2-3% chance of dancing into maybe 15-20%. That’s pretty good work.
Yes, a win over Duke gets us in. The difference between us and the MAXIMUM 7-10 (I think we are “last 4 out” personally) bubble denizens “in front” is paper thin. Beating Duke sets us apart (4th Top 50 win, 2nd Top 25), nobody else but Providence has even a shot at doing something comparable.
If we lose, we can argue about whether we are a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT.
So who gets to guard Parker? : )
Why is Duke always in our way? Its typically us trying to get in and them jockeying for seeding, with them having more rest. (By them I’m lumping UNC and Duke together : ) Its unfortunate this last one isn’t quite enough yet.So who gets to guard Parker?
^I’d honestly stick Des on him and immediately double any of his post-ups.
Limit their transition, limit their easy looks, rebound the ball, make them execute half court offense and hit contested jumpers that are not in flow of the offense. Easier said than done, for sure.
It’d be nice to be able to attack them in transition and get some foul calls, but who am I kidding with that? When’s the last time anyone won a ref battle with Duke? 🙂
We could also just have KH eat him during pregame warmups.
Vandy has had his two best games of 2014 back-to-back. Never would have believed it, just an astounding turn around. Like the switch Hipster Cat flips after halftime of late…
I think we have to put Le Nard on Parker, and play him heavy minutes.
This, too. My thinking with Des is to limit his perimeter looks and mitigate drives, then contain him in the post.
I feel like we need to find a way to rest Warren in the first half. This is where it can start catching up with him.
