NC State v. Maryland

Recommended Posts

Basketball is a game of adjustments and Lowe is overmatched.

Like Md they have some flaws but boy are they poorly prepared offensively.

Against a 2-3 zone you want to move the ball with quick passes and they are just standing there like they aren't prepared for it at all. Of course GW knows this and will exploit it.

That block on Milborne was serious.

He just got completely maned up.

I feel bad for Landon cause he's having to play out of position at the 4 spot. He's facing a huge height disadvantage and still has been playing very, very well. But sometimes he tries to go up for those huge dunks against bigger players and ends up looking completely silly.

You guys think these announcers are right in that we need to get to the finals to get to the NCAA's?

Sorry but if we're 20-13, 9-10 in the ACC, (win 2 games in the ACC tourney) and we don't get in, there is no way we are being judged and compared fairly against other teams that are in, unless there are 2-3 more big upsets in conference tourneys.

Especially since our competition is trickling out day-by-day.

I still think it's two wins, especially with a decent showing in the semifinals even if we lose.

Na, we need to hang on here and then beat Wake. That's the way.

    • The last column is IRS, which means “inherited runners scored”  Inherited runners would be IR and I am surprised that I didn’t see it anywhere in that column. This particular site has a different set of initials, IRS means inherited runners scored. I don’t think that can possibly be correct, because that would be a huge number.
    • LOL. 1.  I never said Basallo was an elite athlete. 2. I’ve said I’d like to see Basallo improve his plate discipline similar to what he showed 2nd half last year. 3. Basallo also needs to keep improving defensively. 4. I hope Basallo can improve over the 2nd half of the season. 5. I’d like to see Holliday cut down the strikeouts and get his average over .300 6.  I think he has a flaw in his mechanics which causes him to pull off the ball.  I hope he corrects it.   Where’s the problem?
    • Trust me, you missed nothing by missing the Coliseum.   Why “should” we have swept Seattle?   They’re leading their division, playing in their park.  I’m really happy to have taken 2 of 3.  Losing the 2-0 lead was disappointing but the offense just didn’t do much in that game and obviously the pen had a bad day.   More generally, I never “expect” a sweep of any opponent.   Sure, I hope for some sweeps, and we’ve had some.  But even a team like Oakland wins more than 1/3 of its games, and the odds basically never favor a sweep even when a really good team faces a really bad one.   Just win the game in front of us, that’s my plan.   
    • I'm going to somebody other than Akin.  Perez wasn't available since he pitched in back to back games. Same goes for Kimbrel.  I generally like Cano when he hasn't had a ton of rest which hurts sinkerballers, so he'd be a decent option.  In order of preference there: Webb Cano Let Baker finish it out Akin  Tate I reckon Hyde had that Showalter in him and was hoping to use Webb in the 9th. But I'm really opposed to just slotting guys into innings and more about putting them in based on effectiveness and situation. High leverage is really going against guys like Akin. 
    • BBref game logs, you can click and highlight by month or whatever stretch of starts that you want.
    • That works, though I'd really prefer it if we didn't trade within the division, if possible.  I'd rather our prospects helped other teams rather than rivals.
