ND MBB 2013-14 season

[anarin]

OH MY!!!

 

[anarin]

Down 1 with 22 seconds

 

[anarin]

Welp!! DJ way too hard at the rim. Looks dim now.

 

[Woneone]

And, of course, my watch ESPN crashed for the last 22 seconds.

 

[anarin]

You didnt miss much, miami hit 8 straight free throws. DJ missed a layup that sealed the game.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Okay, that's it. Every time I come on this board, it seems ND always sucks.

 

[irishfan]

This needs to be the DJ we see the rest of the year and next year. Finally attacking.

 

[irishfan]

Also we're screwed with big guys next year.

 

[anarin]

Okay, that's it. Every time I come on this board, it seems ND always sucks.

Oh HI Nancy!

Also we're screwed with big guys next year.

Maybe a starting lineup of Jackson, Grant, Vasturia, Beachem and Auguste?

Slightly undersized but really athletic

You forgetting Connaughton?

 

[anarin]

You forgetting Connaughton?

Ohh yeah, for some reason I thought he was leaving after this season. Well that just changes everything. Beachem you're on the bench!!

 

[Henges24]

Look for ND to bring in a big man transfer next year. Brey is going to need to do that and he has talked multiple times of doing so.

With out an effective big man We can't compete in the ACC.

 

[PerthDomer]

Auguste has showed steady improvement this year. Looks way better than Soph Cooley. Also, Connaughton can guard most 4's, plus we bring in a PF who plays for the junior lithuanian national team.

You win in CBB w/Guards.

 

[returnofthemack]

Couldn't watch the game, but what gives with Atkins' terrible stats tonight? Also, glad DJ finally stepped up.

"Slightly" undersized? Lol.

A lineup like that could work for a stretch in a game, but not the majority (depending on the matchup).

 

[irishfan]

Ya I like the smaller lineup, but Auguste (whose super inconsistent) is our most experienced big man next year with Burg and Beachem (who is more of a 3) as our next closest thing before Connaughton. We're gonna be really athletic next year but we need like a 5th year big man to transfer in ASAP haha

 

[Woneone]

Brey playing the young guys. Gonna be rough, but I like seeing it.

 

[Woneone]

Why does Garrick Sherman get a pass with Brey?

 

[irishfan]

30-30 at half at UVA whose 1st in the ACC. Game is going as well as we could hope for.

 

[Woneone]

QUIT PLAYING ZONE

 

[Crazy Balki]

Wow, this team is dead to me. Honestly, I've never seen a sh*ttier half of play in my life...

 

[Irish#1]

You just had to didn't you!

 

[irishfan]

You just had to didn't you!

Haha well I was right that the 1st half pretty much went perfectly. That was probably the worst basketball I've seen from ND since that 2008 or 2009 year (when we were pre-season Top 10 and bombed).

I feel bad for Atkins but at this point, I'd rather we just play the young guys. Pathetic that Sherman is honestly our best big man, our lack of big men going into next year is very, very alarming. Connaughton is our most physical player and best rebounder and he's 6'4". Burg and Auguste are both just athletic 4s, I really don't know what were going to do next year. I feel very good about our guards, but we need like two 5th year transfers who can play down low ASAP ha

 

[Woneone]

Good to see that in what amounts to throw-away games (I know you want to win, but still) Atkins, Pat, Sherman and Knight have probably played 75% of the minutes in the second half together.

Not sure if we're preparing for next year or doing a farewell tour.

 

[Woneone]

And this is after Burgett was the only aggressive player we had at the start of the game. PLayed well. Had a block, a few good drives (some bad passes, but still). He hasn't played at all in the second half (and probably since the 10 minute mark in the first).

I really don't get it.

Edit: Damn you quick reply.

 

[clashmore_mike]

win #300 for Brey at ND.

Brey seems to be throwing Burg some low minutes since his heart issue. We need him 100% for next year. Guy is super athletic.

 

[Henges24]

I am honestly not a Burgett fan. It seems every year Brey has this one guy he loves playing all the time for no reason. He honestly reminds me of Hillesland.

What I'd like to see more of is DJ going to the board with the basketball. The guy is a freak athlete and is going to be special. The last few games he's really been going at the hoop but he can't seem to finish which makes him lose confidence. I don't care if he isn't making all of them, they will start to fall.

 

[irishff1014]

Another game they blew in OT.

Let me rephrase it another game they blew. This time being in ot is what i meant.
