I saw a complete lack of effort from everyone not named "Trapani" for the whole game. It stood out like a sore thumb because Trapani was actually trying.

I just said rah rah! I didn't call you one. I was jumping on your rosy glasses bandwagon.
There is no way whatsoever that anyone could have watched that game last night and concluded that anyone other than Trapani was making a legitimate effort. First time since 1996 that BC has given up 100 points in a regulation game. All is well! There's not enough talent! Reggie's not giving up, he just stinks! Cupboard was bare!

Raji and Trapani put in a good effort. Everyone else was an embarrassment. Someone is also going to have to explain what Donahue was thinking bringing Gabe Moton under scholarship. He can't play at this level. I just refuse to believe that we went from being a good basketball team to a bad basketball team in three games.

Have you ever considered the possibility that they they were not a very good team before? This team can compete with the mid to bottom of the conference, but its no coincidence that we have been spanked by the top three teams in the league. We rely heavily on threes and play no defense which will lead to inconsistent play (see Yale).
The effort last night was embarassing but let's face it, with our best effort we lose to UNC. Maybe we keep it under 10 if we try but that's about it.

Again this team didn't just turn into a bad team all of the sudden. We made Carolina look like their '08 National Championship team last night. I absolutely think that we can beat UNC, just not with the effort and execution last night.

and that's before you even get to the question of what the hell is wrong with reggie. can some of you nerds students kick some bushes to find out if he's having school trouble, girl trouble, pharmacutical trouble, etc?

How can you have watched that game last night and say we have any shot of beating that team? We did not turn bad all of a sudden. We are an inconsistent mediocre team and always have been. Some nights will be good and others will be bad but against really good competition we have no shot and we have been proving that lately.

We can beat them the same way we beat Maryland on the road. Shoot in well from 3 and play some semblance of defense. We just need to get the ship righted on Saturday because otherwise this could be on the way to 5-11 or something like that. VT, Clemson and Maryland aren't elite teams by any means.

They won't be dancing, but I figure they can grab 16-17 wins, 6-7 conference wins, an NIT bid and build for the future. I think the addition of shooters with size at every position can do nothing but help them. Basketball is one sport where freshmen can come in and have a huge impact, and I am predicting that Anderson and L. Jackson (off of the bench) will do just that. It will take a while for Caudil and Clifford to develop, but at least they can help with interior defense and rebounding in the interim.
Wish they were bringing in a PG, however. Moton ain't it.

TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:eepstein0 {l Wrote}:TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:how about 8-8 +2 in the acct?
It depends what the wins are. Unless one of those 3 wins in the regular season is @ UNC and one in the ACCT is against Duke or UNC then no, we will make the NIT.
Otherwise wins over Miami, Wake, @ UVA, a first round ACCT win over NCST (or Wake) and a second round win over FSU (or whoever finishes 4th in the ACC if we got the 5 seed) isn't going to cut it. I think that leaves you one of the 1st 4 teams out. All comes back to how important this Maryland game is. Sweeping VT would do wonders also. Sweeps over MD and VT (fellow bubble teams) would look awfully good come March.
why does it matter who if the 10-6 doesn't.
in other words, do we still make it at 10-6 if our losses are to wake and virginia?

This team is more fun to watch than in past years, but I really do hate them just the same. Gaining any sort of consistency would really be appreciated.
i tried to tell you WEEKS ago to write off thoughts of the tournament and simply enjoy the wins and expect the losses. you needed WEEKS of yo-yo action until you came around to agreeing with me.
