Tip off dinner announced
(07-09-2021 11:41 PM)billthebighawksfan Wrote:  Good read here and I agree with most here. The Carolina guys didn't understand what it took to win at a mid major level. You can attribute that to a number of things but it comes down to recruiting enough good players to a system that will work in today's game and the level of intensity that it took to win. I never felt that either was going to go to the top of the conference after 1 year or so it became obvious to me, especially McGrath (still liked him as a person just not a motivator of young men).

At first, I thought Miller was going to be gone but they stuck by him. He went 94 feet and has done it for a long while and started that about when Kevin arrived or slightly before. He was really good at getting the right fit and was smart. Good for him. We were light years ahead of them until he arrived.

The jury is still out on Siddle but I have a completely different feeling now even after last year. He gets players, guys that can flat out shoot, handle and have athleticism and he has a system. That system is the modern game and you see it played out in the NBA right now. I really like that he has 2 great PG and now has guys that are lights out marksmen plus defenders with skill to go with Sims who can beat you at all 3 levels. You HAVE to have that. I'm not thrilled about not having another true big down low besides Kelly but that goes along with the modern theory of having 5 guys that can deck it and are mobile enough to guard and play pick and roll well. He did augment well getting a good experienced 4 man with size in Baker and White (who can really get caroms} so you can go sort of big at times and not give up much offensively there. With Sims at 6'6" as a true wing, you do have size but Sims play some 4 defensively at times in this system when the situation dictates.

This upcoming team has talent...get your popcorn ready!


You see it played out in the NBA? Wth are you watching, they don’t play defense in the NBA.

He didn't mention NBA defense, he was talking about offense, and I agree.

I agree with some of this and college basketball is following the NBA lead offensively for sure. Siddle has his guys now and it's time to win-no excuses. The CAA is a terrible conference right now as well.
