They are switching everything. We get a big on their little, feed him and end up with our big shooting a pathetic effort that barely grazes rim. Twice.

We can't stay in front of them on defense. Just driving right to the hole.

Our bench has 2 of 25 points. GMU bench has 19 of 26.

We're shooting 32% and 30.8%. Ugly.

GMU 40.7 and 44.4%

Apex is only halfway point if release point is 10' off floor.

yes,

I also suspect that air resistance should also make a drag (likely imperceptible) which moves the apex slightly closer to basket.

Lazy pass, lazy on the catch, steal by GM. Reid lazy back on defense and his man races past him to dunk the miss.

This. can. not. happen. Gotta give effort.

Grant and Reid with a duo brain fart gives up an easy layup vs set offense. Gotta talk. Watching Reid early highlights during break. Love how he is setting himself off the 3 line in order to catch and step up on his three. Makes it so much easier to shoot. Didn't look like goal tending. Coach is wro...

Spadone in great defensive position. Initially good, but doesn't keep knees bent and bumps dribbler for a bailout foul when he was in trouble. Knee bend. Need more knee bend. And then beat for jumper. His poor defense is due to legs nearly straight. Bend em. == Grant with a late clock short jumper. ...

We hit a cutter!!!! Late, but hey. Relish it for the rarity.

And then we passed out for the open 3! Wow. Attacking the rim opens up the three. Who knew?!

Nothing says Outer Banks like the mountains? Come to the mountains for the oysters, stay for the basketball? They could have some great slogans. Speaking of oysters and mountains, have I related the story Danny Ford told me at a cocktail party one evening the week of the Fla Citrus Bowl before they...

I recently learned that Western Carolina has a Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines. I'm seriously concerned about climate change, but I had no idea Asheville & Cullowhee would be thinking this far ahead. follow the money. A grant to study groundhog mating is tough to get. But a grant to s...

European leagues have a limit on number of Americans on teams. Dual citizens don’t count toward that. Several Wildcats have benefited from that opportunity. Besides Jake there were also Sophia and Nik (Canadians being also in that same limit. In March of 1990 I had dinner with Bob McAdoo and Mike D...

That refreshes my recollection. The reason given for the firearm was Hairston was in a "Paper Class" entitled "Exercising Constitutional Rights". PJ was researching his 2nd Amendment Rights. Despite the negative publicity surrounding the arrest, PJ was able to submit an acceptable term paper on the...

I got a heads up on a point guard (6-2 or 6-3) who can catch lobs and dunk them with two hands. Has a quality shooting stroke from 3 and scored 5 on the AP tests in English and American History.

The stupid has been strong in the last minute of the Duke-UNC game. whoa.

Interesting discussion. I can remember when it was modestly offensive to state that women couldn't compete with men in basketball. Now I understand that stating the opposite is offensive. Perhaps Jay didn't get the new memo. He clearly didn't. I think most observers are starting to realize that whe...
