It's called an illegal screen...watch the replay. Elmore gets cleared out.

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:The combination of crappy defense and some bad shooting killed us. I'll tell you what, Maryland is a must-win. Lose to Maryand (and I'll chalk up losses at UNC and at VT), 8-8 in the ACC is going to require winning the ACCT.

bcnyceagle {l Wrote}:The pathetic defense definitely has something to do with Donahue. No way a team drops from 82 to 257 (Kenpom) with a whole bunch of seniors in the lineup for no reason.
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Sad part is that this game is still not over. They hit a couple of threes, and they have a shot to be rewarded for this shit show.
And I know it won't be popular here, but I agree that Trapani has a shot to play in the NBA. Needs someone to give him a summer league spot.

As I mentioned above, defense and offense go hand in hand. Part of the reason the defense has gotten worse was inescapable - this offense does not limit opponent possession like the flex does. That doesn't bother me, and it is not really the Don's fault. We knew it was going to happen.
The rest is attributable to the defense, and it has gotten worse. That's bad.

This is true. I think our defense has gotten a little worse than last year, but not nearly so much as the numbers would lead you to believe. Last year our inability to play defense was hidden some by the fact that we played a slow deliberate offense that limited the other teams possessions and scoring. We weren't a very good defensive team last year either.

while expectations for dunn were never high given the alleged recruiting debacle, he can't graduate soon enough. whether he's on the floor, sitting on the bench or standing on the perimeter of a huddle, he is about as engaged as i'd picture him in a two hour perspectives class.

I sit in the section that's behind the BC bench and I've never seen him pay attention during a timeout. He likes to scan the crowd, space out, or joke with one of the players. I can only imagine his interest level in the classroom, assuming he goes.

Maryland is indeed a 100% must-win. It's not so much a "make-or-break" game as it's just a potential "break" game.
And, btw, BC covered. I hope you spend the easy money you made wisely.

I've said all along that all we need to do is split this week, but know it's back-to-the-wall time. I thought we played pretty well for 30 minutes or so, but we played so bad for those other 10 minutes (i.e. beginning of the second half) that we lost the game.
We still have Miami, MD, Wake and @ UVA to get to 9 wins and then win 1 in the ACCT. @ VT is extremely unlikely. I'll call @ UNC impossible.
