Ma...Yeah, like I said above I agree to some extent. Maryland and Clemson both played poorly last night, but I would argue that a portion of that came from good defense, at least more than one would be inclined to grant on the surface given the sloppy play. Clemson was disruptive and rattled the younger Maryland players. I would disagree about Booker, he had a few blown opportunities (which I hope had something to do with the "flu") but I thought Maryland did a good job defending him, even when he managed to get in close. I don't think I've seen him get blocked that often since the FSU games last year. A lot of Grant's success primarily came on the offensive glass, an area of the game that Maryland has never controlled well.<br /><br />And again, both Clemson and Maryland played poorly last night, so I don't think we can just say "if Maryland played better they would have routed Clemson". Its more like, "if Clemson and Maryland had both played better it still would have been a close game". The problem for Clemson is they haven't really played well since the GT game.<br /><br />Not to move the blame off the players, but I also wondered after I posted how much of an effect the referees had on the sloppiness of the game. Seemed like the game was called pretty inconsistently and it left the players a little tentative, as if they weren't sure where to draw the line in how aggressive they could be. Just thinking out loud here but it would be interesting see if decreases in expected team scoring effeciency in a game is consistent across games called by specific groups of referees.TigerMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404282513715334252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593971749720492685.post-28623303108565202012010-02-01T12:05:59.915-08:002010-02-01T12:05:59.915-08:00I think people need to appreciate how appalingly b...I think people need to appreciate how appalingly bad Maryland was last night. So many of the turnovers were just a result of sloppy play, not great defending, and they did a terrible job of controlling the paint against Booker and Grant. Despite his line, Booker had numerous opportunities inside, he just didn't finish. Maryland let him and Grant get the ball far too easily, something other teams have used very well to beat us this year.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593971749720492685.post-82759949481674002882010-01-19T14:43:57.701-08:002010-01-19T14:43:57.701-08:00Oh yeah, those Lexus rumors have been floating aro...Oh yeah, those Lexus rumors have been floating around for quite some time.

They didn'...Good points about recent UNC games. They didn't feature a particularly suffocating defense, but still managed to blow us out. Luckily, not many teams in the country push the tempo as much as UNC--this year they are at #8 in <a href="http://kenpom.com/conf.php?c=ACC" rel="nofollow">adjusted tempo</a>. There's even a pretty large gulf between UNC and the second fastest team in the league, Maryland. If we don't mix things up with the press against UNC they'll hang 90 points on us no matter how much less talented they are relative to last year.<br /><br />I'm also baffled by the lack of pull-up jumpers, not just this year but the past several years. My sense is that Purnell just doesn't like them--he either wants to see a 3-point shot or something close to the rim. Generally I would agree this is a reasonable strategy (particularly in the past when we didn't have much in the way of skilled pure shooters). But with guys like Jennings, Young, and even Smith we should be able to make those shots now. It's particularly strange in a game like the Duke game when they are taking away everthing behind the arc and every time we drive the lane we're getting called for charges. It seems the natural coaching adjustment is to get your better shooters to pull up and take jumpers off the screen. <br /><br />I've seen Jennings do this some early in the season, but it seemed like every time he took a jump shot, he was pulled at the next whistle. It's possible the coaching staff still sees it as too much of a low-percentage shot with the skill levels they have. But this takes me back to an earlier post, I'm worried that Purnell might be trying too much to conform the talents he recruited into his system, instead of opening up the system up a little to accomodate the talents he recruited.TigerMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404282513715334252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593971749720492685.post-1460322160313708852010-01-05T11:58:40.589-08:002010-01-05T11:58:40.589-08:00Really glad to see someone finally focusing on sta...Really glad to see someone finally focusing on statistics to look for answers to what has been going on this season. The thing I've been most impressed with this year is OP's willingness to give different defensive looks. I think this is a key component to increased defensive success, especially against teams that like to run/have good guard play. You're spot on about the Wake, Maryland, and VT games last year, but the UNC games were telling as well. They ran all over Clemson, and OP was continually unwilling to call off the press until it was far too late. The more nuanced looks he's giving this year will give us better chances on defense.<br /><br />I tend to think, from watching the team play, that a lot of the problems this team has on offense could be solved by being more aggressive. Specifically, a willingness to drive the lane more and to pull up and shoot when the opportunity is there. We passed up a lot of "half-open" looks in the Duke game, especially coming off picks, instead settling for completely not open looks 15 seconds later in the shot clock. These half-open shots were the ones that Duke was killing us with all night, and while we don't have the shooting quality we've had in the past, we need to be taking decent looks when we get them instead of looking for the perfect shot each possession. As far as driving the lane, this falls on Stitt, Young, and Smith. Unfortunatley, Smith doesn't really have the quickness and Young doesn't have size like Stitt to be really effective while doing this, but at least we could give it a shot. <br /><br />After watching the Duke game, I think we're just going to have to wait on these freshmen. I've always maintained that this is a team for the future, but right now, getting a bye in the first round of the ACC tournament would be a big achievement.Williamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593971749720492685.post-44813610106154039532009-12-16T19:22:01.824-08:002009-12-16T19:22:01.824-08:00Just lost Gibson to VT, Farmer increasingly looks ...Just lost Gibson to VT, Farmer increasingly looks like a sign & place for either of us but we can hope.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828427134435684591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593971749720492685.post-60353241922421998732009-12-12T10:04:15.840-08:002009-12-12T10:04:15.840-08:00We had hostesses.
