Losing both Duke games might put Davis on the hot seat. The boosters will not be happy with that

His incoming recruits are the only thing keeping him off the hot seat. If next year is the same story he won't survive it.

If we hadn't had that miraculous tourney run last year he probably wouldn't see a third year.

Yeah. As we've said before, it's never a good thing to be the guy after the guy.

I honestly just want us to go one and done with the ACC tourney and get this season over with. Hubert isn't gonna get it figured out with this crew. Let's just let him get his guys in here and see what he can do with them. If it's the same story next year it's time to admit Hubert's Final Four run was a total fluke and move on. Final Four run included, Hubert will nearly match Doherty's loss total through two seasons.

I'm gonna add that the modern basketball offense is bullshit. There is a lot of ugly basketball being played. Everyone is trying to copy Golden State but it doesn't work unless you have Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. When you have two of the greatest shooters ever you can build your entire offense around just trying to setup threes. But when you don't you just get ugly basketball. There's no movement. Just ball screens without even any pick and roll. Taking turns playing one on one isolation ball. And jacking up threes. That's everyone's offense. I bitch about Hubert and UNC but then I watch other top teams and it's the same bullshit.

Very true. The thing Curry has done that is one of the worst things I've seen in the game is those way behind the line 3s. Since he showed he can do it whenever he wants, all the young guards have been trying to copy him and none of them are the shooter he is.

He's a phenomenal shooter. Best ever.

It feels like 20 years ago when Kevin Garnett burst on the scene and every young big man wanted to try to play on the perimeter. Like bro... you ain't KG. Get your ass down there in the paint.

They probably win their first game and if they do you are looking at Virginia and then either Clemson or NC State in the semis.  They have beaten both so not impossible but the way they are playing right now I am not super confident

It's been the same story for two years. This team can beat anyone in the country on any given night. They can also lose to anyone in the country on any given night. Do the bad shots this "offense" creates fall or not? Nothing changes except the shots falling or not.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
