NIT- Virginia Game Discussion

2/15 from three, 34% FG = losing.

BTW, Virginia is not even in the bonus. Wasn't in the first half either.

When Dom is only one running back on fast break and UVA has two guys trailing that is a problem.

welp, the offseason is just the preseason boys. Time to get in the gym

All kidding aside, we are a very flawed team that also doesn't play smart. Hope this can be corrected in off season, but just don't see how. Officiating was poor, but let's own up to rooting for a team with major deficiencies.

Agree in some ways, but even adding one talented wing forward like Sanchez could really, really help at both ends.  He's long and can do a lot of things.  We might have been in ncaa's this year if we hadn't benched D'Lo which makes it sooo important he's back.  We add another big guy like Gift inside, another real good shooter in Hooper, maybe if we are lucky Rysheed.  Couple at hopefully with improvement from existing team and we could be a bit better. 

People forget that we are playing a very good UVA team today and that is without by FAR our best player in Harrison.  We have flaws and are still missing pieces for sure. 

Winning season though, Congrats!!!

Remember when people were talking about Branch being a one and done?

The kid has been awful since his injury

Agree... Doesn't seem the same since injury.   Can't elevate well for jumpers.  Hopefully he heals up well.

haha anyone else hear the fan in the background telling lavin he sucks and to go home?

When did anyone ever indicate he'd be one and done? I don't think there was any rumors or thoughts of that.

Refs are screwing us,   We can't make a shot, and were giving up easy buckets near the rim.

Paultz, I want to go into the summer with optimism.   But what you said before rings so true;  what's going to change that's going to make this team efficient offensively?

Its not the reason we lost BUT I wonder who is reffing these NIT games when all the big boys are reffing NCAA games.

Think your confusing him with jones, which still is just as perplexing.

Lavin's message to his players in the offseason:

"Everybody take 500 jump shots every single day. Find a court, pick up a ball, and shoot. And when you're tired of shooting, shoot some more."

I give Lavin a C - on the season.

Winning season though, Congrats!!!

Oh I can see the game notes next year

Agree on Sanchez, but college ball is a guards game and we need to put skilled ones on the floor next year or we won't be much better. Branch and Greene may improve, but to extent needed? Don't know. Critical also to Get D'Lo back or someone else with scoring ability.

I really hope Branch's shooting woes are due to injury. 

"Hope I'm wrong, but:

Virginia: 76
St. John's: 54"

Pretty damn close.
