The Poojer Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) I've always liked mike giminski...and I will NEVER disparage bojangles! **side note - Bill'Bojangles' Robinson was a Richmond native. There's a statue of him at the intersection of Adams & West Leigh Sts. Wow. What a weird game. The refs were bad because they were so inconsistent. They called each half totally differently. I can't believe we were able to generate 2 TOs off the trap on the last two possessions. All nc state had to do was hold the ball. Play of the game was christmas' steal at the end, plus a great outlet pass. The whole team shot like garbage. Nc state struck me as pretty terrible. We just missed 20 wide open shots. Edit: how about those bojangles announcers? Talk about annoying... Edited February 16, 2014 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ya the refs definitely helped us in this one. Got some touch fouls on a lot of high leverage possessions. I don't know what to say about a game where CJ is airballing his $ 15foot baseline shot, wtf. Rak carrying 'em was definitely a look like the Cooney/ND game - the other home "letdown game". That might not bode well for the game @Maryland. Although if we're coming off a win, that'll be a nice problem to have. It's gonna be real fashionable for talking heads to call us semi-frauds in the next week, so get used to it. But this was one bad game - going down to the wire @Pitt is nothing to be ashamed of. Now if we can't run BC off the floor, that'll be some serious cause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'll take later... Like sometime next season later! If Keita and Coleman were healthy...and Roberson was providing/given the opportunity to add offense off the bench, I'd say they could go undefeated but as it stands right now, if Fair and Cooney go cold, the team struggles for offense. It only takes one player on one team to go off. Pitt would have beat them if Patterson was 100%. They nearly did in the dome when he was healthy. Parker might be that guy.

Teams just don't go undefeated anymore and that's why I want Cuse to just get it out of the way. You rarely even see 1 loss teams anymore. Lose at Cameron next week and to Pitt in the ACC Semifinals or something like that, and I will STILL take it. Make them go I to the NCAAs hungry to avenge their recent losses.

But I think you're going to see some losses coming up-- it would be insane if we won at duke, at md, and at Virginia. If I had my druthers, I just want that win against Virginia.

boyst Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sellout.....gonna have to tar and feather you baby blue. I still root for Duke, Wake and tOSU. I will cheer for Duke in the Cuse/Duke game. But happy either way. The underdog is always fun to root for and I feel many Duke fans, even with a Duke win, will say that Cause is probably the better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Having Keita back will make a huge difference...especially on defense and on the boards. This team still has to hit their shots though. I'll just chalk this one up to a bad game. Still 25-0...could be worse. Amazing how many Cuse fans (not referring to this thread) were about to step off the ledge after the game last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Keita being out is really displaying how much Rak's game is coming together. We lose last night if not for him. Going strong to the rim, rebounding, baseline jumpers, knocking down free throws and unbelievable rim protection. He did it all. FTR. I'll be happy when Keita is back, but Rak is just earning more minutes while he's out and I personally love that he's finally starting to play with confidence and up to his potential.

What's exciting is that what we saw last night could be Rak every game next season. There is no reason he shouldn't be getting 7-10 shots next year, especially without CJ and Grant around.

There is no reason he shouldn't be getting 7-10 shots next year, especially without CJ and Grant around. This makes me really hope that Ennis' dad convinces him to stick around a year to get stronger and work on his jump shot as has been mentioned during a couple broadcasts. Ennis and Rak seem to have a really good rapport already and it would be great to see them play with a full season of getting used to each other's games under their belts. Edit: I don't know why I do this to myself. Hoping he stays when it just seems so likely that he'll leave. It must be the Bills fan mentality I have ingrained in me that constantly forces me to build up hope and then watch it all come crashing down.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 How painful is that. I remember after he declared, the rumors were that poor academics were forcing him out.
