Dain is also a freshman. He played like five minutes at Baylor.Gotta remember we played 4 freshmen huge minutes… VA only played one underclassman. (McKneely)

It’s not an overly harsh take? I thought Tony made better adjustments and they did our hustle us imo. I’m in no way saying we didn’t play hard but they played harder.
Yes the refs blew and TSJ was ice cold today but my point remains.
Cool. Hawkins was pretty good today.Coleman Hawkins had one more rebound than I did.
I didn’t think we ever shot all that well and missed shots we will make and still were in the game.View attachment 21581

Correct. We have a lot of new pieces who are still finding their way. We'll be a much different team come January/February/hopefully deep into March.Gotta remember we played 4 freshmen huge minutes… VA only played one underclassman. (McKneely)
Energy - yesHarris needs more minutes
Pretty sure his shoulder was fine the whole time. No issue with him trying to get that call - has worked against us many times. And might have even got the call if they reviewed it. No idea why they wouldn’t at least look.It's Mayer and it was definitely a hook-and-hold. It absolutely should have been reviewed. I'm more concerned about MM's shoulder, though.
I'm going with UCLA since we beat them...will hurt our ranking if they lost twice...I'd rather have a Baylor win than a UCLA win.....I think. Ask me again later tonight.
Big disparity and of course that had an impact. But given the different rate of makes I’m not sure the impact was as big as people are making it out to be.HUGE free throw disparity today.
Interesting that an ACC team gets more calls on ESPN.
I’m absolutely thrilled with how we look to start the seasonI didn’t think we ever shot all that well and missed shots we will make and still were in the game.
I was worried we would get crushed this weekend because of our youth. We didn’t. We already belong.
I’m so excited for this season now. This game will help these guys in March when it really matters.
I mean, he didn't come back into the game and his shoulder was getting worked on while he was on the bench. We'll see. I'd prefer not to have a Trent situation where he's wearing a sling all season.Pretty sure his shoulder was fine the whole time. No issue with him trying to get that call - has worked against us many times. And might have even got the call if they reviewed it. No idea why they wouldn’t at least look.
That aside, stripes were better than 98% of BIG games.
We don’t make free throws. It’s an Illinois thing. Shannon was like 85 percent at tech. He’s gonna shoot 60 for us. Because Illinois. LolBig disparity and of course that had an impact. But given the different rate of makes I’m not sure the impact was as big as people are making it out to be.
I was far more upset with the seemingly unorganized offense today. Was channeling BW and yelling at people to move.
