I love how you made no mention of him hitting a 3 to put them ahead by 2. But then again if you're gonna hate why would you do that?

Guy hit one of the 30 3s he's being jacking up. He used to try this nonsense last season too, but Calhoun had him on a tighter leash and Kemba would put him in his place. He needs to be the PG, not a gunner.
 
I'll take the win. I think we'll fall to the bottom of the top 10 though, which is more accurate at this point.
 
terrible shot by bazz there. i realize you're trying to run the clock, but at least get into the lane or draw another defender and dish.
 
Phew. Lots to work on, but I was hugely impressed with Boatright and Drummond today. I'd still like to know what the deal is with Oriakhi.
 
And there's Shabazz hanging all over Boat Show at the end. Can we put to rest the ridiculous notion that Shabazz is jealous and doesn't want him to do well?

I don't disagree that he should use better judgement in his shot selection, but there were times last year when kemba would throw up bad shots. All I'm saying is I have faith that as the year goes on, he'll get better at running the offense.

All I'm saying is hes 6 games into being the starting PG. Boatright will make mistakes as well. Will you then call for Brandon Allen? Or start the countdown for Omar?

Matt , that is the kind of fairweather crap you get from some fans on this board. Bazz had 23 pts BTW.

6-13, a shade under 50%, try again. Lol @ you bums creating log-ins just to hate on Shabazz, garbage ass posters.

there's more than enough room for the both of them on this team. i'm sure we'll be running a lot of 3 guard sets.
 
I forgot that his board is all rah-rah crap and you can't call people out for the things they need to work on. Obviously, Shabazz's decision making and shot selection has been a problem against the better teams.

That's the other thing people here do. When they're not playing the victim or accusing anyone who points out flaws as being a "hater" they're reading way too much every single quote they read.

R u serious? We gave them an uncontested 3 to win the game. Fortunate to escape with the W.

AD is learning to play like a beast on the defensive end without fouling.

And Boat is a mini version of D-rose, who he models his game after.

DD's minutes suffered with Boat's return. Hope it doesnt affect his confidence.

couldn't agree more. the two of them were terrific. Bazz had a terrific shooting game - he seems to be able to score all over the place, but i'd rather see him run more offense. then again, with the ball in his hands 70% of the time on offense, there's going to be a lot more to nit pick about. take the W and move on. saw some very good things in this tourney, and some things that really need some work.

as one person said, FSU's defense is terrific. they are tremendously athletic all over the place. i don't know how their defense stacks up against the res t of the nation, but i noticed we were always pushed out way past the 3 point line when we ran our offense. something i think only a really athletic defensive team can do.

You clearly didn't see my last reply. I agree that he needs to use better judgement on shot selection. And I don't see anyone on this board really acting like this team in invincible, so idk what rah-rah crap you're referring to.
 
Great win, we were shaky down the stretch again but FSU can make you look bad they are a very good team. Huge ft's by Boat, big 3 by Bazz in ot. Only negatives are we still don't get Drummond the ball nearly enough and Oriakhi really seems to be in the doghouse. We look out of sorts at times but we are so freaking young, we start all freshman and sophomores.

It looked very good. I'm a bit worried about this team playing against a zone, but right now I'm just going to enjoy the win.

He shot 6/13 from 3, which is good for 46%.
Expand ...
It just seems like he puts up alot of 3's and misses because he does at it at the end of the shot clock when he is covered tightly. I like to see a little bit more penetration or passing from BAZZ in that situation. RB like I had said earlier would be huge. Never thought that huge that soon. What is up with our frontline besides AD. They completely suck. Maybe Bradley can actually get some time and improve it when he gets here in December. He can shoot and has to be better than TO doing that. Still a great win. GO UCONN!

Bazz is a good shooter and when he gets going a great shooter. The one aspect of his game that is most questionable is his decision making...he is trying to hard to emulate kemba. Whether he feels that pressure is on him because he is one of the captains or whatever other reason I dont know
 
People act as if it's no big deal to take over a team in one's second year, at a time when most players are just lucky to bust through their sophomore slump. If Bazz, who I assume will only get better as the year goes on, is doing this at his low point then we'll be okay. This is a young team that has almost limitless potential.

I don't disagree, I would've liked to have seen him drive. We were having a hard time against the zone, so I don't necessarily hate that decision, since we couldn't seem to get the ball inside.
 
KAE is the only Sophomore point guard that I can think of that has been better than Bazz at this point. He is pretty damn good and he will only get better as the season goes on. Count me as not worried about him at all.
 
Well hopefully he will end up playing more off the ball as he is a great shooter and I think RB is a better penetrator. I like to see RB drive and kick out to SN for the open 3 instead of BAZZ just running the shot clock to the end and shooting up a prayer.

Without AO in there, it seems AD has more room to work around the hoop
Expand ...

Agreed strongly. Two bigs clogs things up. The way AO has been playing (and given his weak attitude), he should be strictly Drummond's backup at this point.
 
i thought that JC should have sat the freshman in the last 2 mins of the game.. Drummond could have cause uconn the game with that turnover
