Diabate starting over Johns tonight

Somewhere the ghost of Wally Pip sheds a single tear.

There´s no diabate about that.

I'm with it, much deserved. Hope Johns can find himself coming off the bench

Is anyone else finding it odd we can't seem to get any kind of update on Zeb Jackson? I know he was out with an 'illness' but it's been over 6 weeks now. Something seems a little off. Anybody have any info?

Maybe this MSU game can last another 10 minutes when up by 11

Good! 

5 turnovers in 4.5 minutes. Sigh…

Man, they aren’t even trying to get Dickinson the ball down low right now

Now if we can bury Jones on the bench we can make some progress 

Our offense is just a mess.

Sloppy slop slop so far 

This team is lost on offense. It is embarrassingly bad. 

1 basket in 4 minutes

I would legitimately struggle thinking of one thing this team does well. 

Literally one thing. 

It seems like this team lacks simple fundamentals. Houston didn’t block out leading to that easy put back

You could see Dickinson turning over one of those handoffs from a mile away.  They cannot keep playing Jones at point.

Lack of whistles had us pretty exhausted there.

Diabate is the best player on this squad. Don’t know what is in Hunter’s head tonight

Jones isn’t a natural point guard by any measure. We look lethargic with our screens and ball movement up top. 

Turnovers, omg!

I mean, Dickinson isn’t some kind of Jokic facilitator where he can run the offense from the high post.  If they can’t trust Jones to run simple actions, then they need to play Collins and hope he learns quickly.

39% turnover rate.  Rebounding over half of our misses when we get shots up though!  :/

Vitale is fucking annoying! Game now on mute!

Houstan clicking a bit now.  Smart of Howard to keep him in.

Jones finally on the bench! Team looks better already. 

No turnovers after removing Jones.  Mostly good looks too.

Not sure why Bufkin isn’t playing any. 

Collins isn’t quite sure what to do in the lane when he gets there, but he’s at least getting there.  He’ll figure out how to finish or create as he adjusts to the length in college.

So it looks like Howard isn’t playing Jones as a point guard anymore— he’s got Eli as the starter and Collins as the second team pg.  Maybe taking some of that responsibility away will help him.

NC hitting the step back one foot 30 footers 

Not great that our points per possession with the nominal starting point guard on the floor is like... .6?  Just guessing, but it feels like it.

Lack of shooters and no one to drive the basket. 

Turnovers, hesitating to shoot the three, not getting the ball inside, wish we had a point guard

Now we just need to have Frankie for Jones and then we will have the 5 best players starting. 

I wish we had 2 Diabates about now

Start Collins. Sit Jones.
