I think this team blew their wad on the UNC game. I hope I'm wrong but we have looked just awful since.

Teams adjusted and we have struggled ever since. I think it was Clemson who hedged our pick n roll, took away Larkin and since then every team has tried to do the same. Coach L has to adjust and make something happen.

This. Larkin needs to grow the ability to cut inside the hedge and cut to the hole, leaving a big man outside the 3 point line while he is at the free throw line or driving.

Agreed. But I think it's hard for him, because he's small of stature and can get tracked down by dudes, even from behind. It's definitely something he will need to work on over the coming off-season.

LMAO@ Rion Brown passing the ball out with 6s on the shot clock. He needs to visit the Wizard to find his heart, because he doesn't have one right now.

Erick Green has been shut down, and I think that hip injury is really going to be bothering him. Glad we made a few of those threes to end the half.

For every analyst complaining about refs not fouling players out, this is the poster game for calling it tightly but fairly.

Nice finish by TMJ to the half with the slick putback. In 21, Kadji just had his score dropped to 0.

Good way to end the half! Defense has looked fantastic and the FTs are dropping. Started slow, but overall a very solid 1st half!
 
Everybody take a deep breath, the guys played that great defense we've seen all season and fought through poor shooting in other ways. We'll need this composure against the Fightin' K's.

Great last 6-7 minutes of the half, turned it around with free throw shooting especially. Defense has been lights out. I dont think anyone liked that 10 minute stretch without a field goal, but wow, what a turnaround.
 
good way we ended the half. we looked like we did back against unc in that stretch. we need to look that from here on out going into march madness

We didn't look as good as we did against UNC. We crushed UNC. Shot lights out beyond belief to run away with that game. This is becoming a really good performance and is far more indicative of what we got used to over that 6 game stretch including 4 home 22+ point wins. This is way, way better.

We don't even have to play this well heading to the tourney, if we do we'll lock down a 1 seed without a doubt. So long as we find that drive and desire in the tourney, we could make big, big noise.
