Also just noticed that Wake Forest is the highest ranked team in KP w/ a losing record (#86). Wisconsin is 9-10 and ranked just a few spots below us (#89).
They had more talent last year but a shittier coach. The inverse will win more games.
what time does this thread get locked in favor a new game thread?
Doral already has 2 fouls.
No matter how bad the season has gone, winning tonight would make me feel a lot better.
In the annals of ACC basketball, with our history of stars, the current NC State point guard (that transfer kid, Beverly) comparatively, is not good at basketball. In any other era, he is riding the pine or transferring to UNC-Asheville.
I'd put him just ahead of Richard Joyce.
So, I expect him to hit 2-3 from deep and score 13-14 or so, with about 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 turnover. I mean a guy like Jeff Teague would, very likely, completely abuse that guy. And Sid Lowe, Phil Ford, Marbury...hell even Tony Rutland pre-injury...completely ridiculous mis-matches.
But tonight, would not surprise me if we make him look good. I'm thinking lots of open looks off pick and roll with Moore nowhere to be found.
Why in the world do you think this about Beverly? He's starting in the ACC as a freshman, has a pretty good assist rate, limits turnovers, shoots 35% from behind the arc and is a pretty good floor general. He will continue to get better.
I certainly don't think he will ever be an All-ACC type player, but to say that he is "just ahead of Richard Joyce" is a pretty odd statement at this point in time.
Glad you said it.
I think Beverly is far from a star of the future but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he turns into Matt Farrell as a Junior and Senior. He's pretty decent.
Should be a fun offensive game tonight.
