Alpha.. you GOTT this right…
In Anthony’s — and OTHERS JUST LIKE HIM — defense…. however… I would suggest… they know what they need to do and wants to do those things ( you listed ) consistently well at the highest level.
The problem is that since 7th grade … most of the kids playing bball today… have not ‘had to’, have not learned how, and have not practiced those things until they GOTT it right.
Learning ‘mechanics’ and improving ‘BB-IQ’ is one thing….
Practice Time should fix that…Doing it right at Cameron, the Dean Dome or the Carrier Dome… or even the RBC for that matter…. is quite another thing.
And the jury remains out on that question….

Did I leave anyone out ??
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… not that it matters to anyone else… but…
during those two and half days with no power ’cause of last week’s ice storm…I GOTT lucky … twice….
Go figure.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… OK …. some of ya’ll will understand how this ‘fits’ this thread…
and some of ya’ll may not….A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
“Dear wife, You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant. I’ll be home before midnight. – Your Husband”
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:
“Dear Husband. You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Hotel with the 18-year-old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don’t wait up.”
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!…. I do not disagree with anything written above…
We came out flat at the opening and took most of half to get going..
Coach Gott gets us back in the game single-handedly with some quick thinking and junk defenses…
We have a one point lead at halftime…. 33-32.So much for the ‘Cuse effect…
We all are thinking we have this game won..We come out flat again…. we go 3:21 before scoring any second half points…
Once the ice is broken… we start trading baskets at the rate of 3 for 2 so after
five minutes we’re down six… 43 – 37…Then the next 1:21… CUZ gets a def. rebound, makes a foul, a turnover, missing another jumper and Turner makes a turnover and the Tiggers score a three pointer and a dunk to go up 48-37 with 13:47 left and Coach GOTT calls a Timeout to discuss something he sees on the floor.
We don’t see any perceivable adjustments from the bench…
We come back and basically trade baskets (8-5) for the next four minutes … the score’s 56-42 tiggers with 10:28 left and CUZ goes on a run and scores seven points in the next 1:10 to cut the lead to 56-49… and Clempson calls a timeout…with 9:10 left..
Coach Gott in the huddle still talking about something he’s seeing on the floor…
From there the bottom falls out, the wheels come off, the tiggers never look backWe’re stuck on 49 for the next 6:51 until CUZ gets a jumper at 2:31 left in the game and the score is 68-51. CUZ adds a three pointer with 26 seconds left to score 5 of the Pack’s last 7.
Any body wonder what Coach was talking about during those timeouts??
______________I am really surprised nobody here has played the — “So goes CUZ — So goes the PACK” — card, yet.
Perhaps, therein lies the key to this meltdown.
We’ve been talking about it all season…
the split personalities…
the ying an yang…
taking the ball/game and letting the ball/game find you…CUZ GOTT his Twenty tonight (21st time this season)…
to go with his 6 turnovers and 4 fouls and tremendous defensive play….Radio guys said …. “tonight was the hardest CUZ ever worked in his life to get Twenty…”
That’s BS… cause he got 7 of them on that one minute spurt at the 10 minute mark and 5 more during garbage time… hat means he got 8 points in the other 36-37 minutes of play.There’s a reason… CUZ ain’t made ACC player of the week yet this season….
And it might have something to do with what Coach was talking about in those huddles….If our remaining opponents think shutting down CUZ is the key to victory… they couldn’t be more wrong…. Forget that… just play CUZ straight up… he can’t beat you by himself — most nights — and take the rest of the team out of the game… that’s what you do.
And the easiest way to do that is to encourage the CUZ on five plays…
_________________I have noticed this one thing about GOTT & Company…
if you play for them and they think that you are getting hardheaded…
they will let you stay on the court until you embarrass yourself…
and damn the scoreboard and the outcome in the process….Before you disagree with that, check with ANTHONY about what really happened in Chapel Hill a couple of Saturdays ago…. or call Lo or CALVIN/CJ somewhere over in Europe and pop that question…
Anybody else wonder what Coach was talking about during those timeouts??
And anybody else wonder why after a very creative first half… GOTT & Company mostly watched the second half ??selah
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!.. shooting this half.. tiggers 53%… pack 37%… go figure that out…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… which one of ya’ll said.. “First team to sixty wins… ” ???
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!there is no momentum in this game…
back and forth.. go to the line… turnover… shot.. go to table review something.. 2 free throws… back and forth..
blah, blah,blah…this is stupid… GOTT to put together three baskets in a row…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!7 pts with 9 minutes left don’t mean squat for either team…
we just need to roll off seven more…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!.. so much for playing TEAM ball this half…
the one man show has us down nine…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!We need a pickup… a spark… something to get the juices flowing…
we’re playing flatfooted..
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… I’m watching this… but can’t figure it out….
Why is Clempson getting so many blocked shots ???
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!just two goofy sevenfooters… bumping into each other…
nothing more , nothing less…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^ hey Wuf… you left out … ZERO turnovers last eight minutes of the half…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!^Mr. Stick probably can answer that questions better than anyone else….
I’m betting they got more than enough good bballers on campus to win twenty a year…
but Dabo won’t let ’em play … scared they might get hurt….or something silly…———-
at the half.. Tweeeps 30 Deacs 25 in college park…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!CUZ takes the ball length of the floor in five dribbles and makes the runner.. bumped four times and no foul…
Halftime…
Smoke if you GOTT ’em, cause we do….Pack 19-6 over last 7:36…. 12-3 for this season when leading at the half….
Besides…. what the hell is Clempson gonna do different or better than what they have already done ???
We just need to rock and roll coming out of the locker room, for about 15 minutes… and then cruise on home…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!CUZ can’t get a break tonight… getting hammered everytime he touches the ball under the basket…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Can somebody get Coach GOTT to put on a blue shirt during halftime ??
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Pack shooting up to 50% now…
but Turnovers are limiting our opportunities…#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Coach Gott junking up the defenses …
box and one
triangle and two
zone
man to manall in the three minutes…
Tiggers getting confused….
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!7-0 run by the Pack forces BB to use a Timeout….
now we need to do that same thing… one more time before the half…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!47% PF
… and there’s the zone… Mr. Dog / Carnac saw earlier…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!… this game is just like one a couple of weeks ago…
can’t remember who…on offense.. we are doing what we what to do… when we not turning the ball over…. just not hitting the shots
that should average out…defensive… we’re doing ok but as expected Tiggers are shooting above average… from the outside…
that should average out too…What would be nice would be a nice run to get some energy in the game… and to put the Tiggers back on their heels….
