Considering how many turnovers we committed, our half-court defense was pretty damn good. Really had no business being in that game at all with the offense essentially breaking down. There was a point in the 2nd half where Massoud was just jacking up horrible contested 3's, then Jalen and Wilkins followed suit and threw up some garbage.
I feel bad for Forbes, he really has zero players who can dependably produce against a middle-tier ACC defender. Every game is like a crazy round of speed-chess where you only know how far each piece can move after you try to move it. Massoud hits his first two 3's and Daivien hits his last 4 of 5. In the pesky 85% of the game between those two shooting runs, everyone not named Jahcobi Neath shot 0% from deep. Neath's 2 made it a red-hot 12%. How the hell do you plan for that kind of night?
We're staying in these games because even when we do give up on the offensive end out of frustration, these guys keep playing defense. Nice to see.
