They’re still going to live up to that #3 preseason rank. Lots of good free throw shooters it’ll be cleaned up. Got to learn to bring the effort right away and they’ve got a lot of guys who will and did bring that intensity. First hostile road game for these young folks. Time to learn and beat Duke who did not look good today

Telling myself we had a lot of maddening losses last year before we made the F4

We played 5 freshmen vs. a veteran-ladden team, got down big, and made it a close game

…but the FT shooting, turnovers, and Big Z all gotta be better

Btw, how is 7’2 Zvonimir getting bullied by 6’8 Stillwell?

Inexcusable but unsurprising incompetence by the Peacock production crew to fail to capture the DGL/Underwood post-game handshake.

The positives...The freshman had their grow-up game. We played our asses off after down 20.

We'll be a completely different team at the end of the season. If we had Mirk + Jake though, we'd be a different team right now.

Lol the TT fans chanting "overrated" at the end there as if we didn't come back from down 20 to scare the 💩 out of them. Proud of the fight we showed, especially considering we're not at full strength.

Now, free throws until they puke, Brad!!

Tech absolutely collapsed in a heap when we made radical changes at the half. Took them a good 30+ possessions and an hour of real time to get their bearings back.

Is that just a symptom of us no longer doing what they had seen on film and prepared for? Or are we much better when we throw substantial amounts of our new philosophy overboard? Which is worse?
