Anderson had a few open jumpers from the FT line extended, which is a good sign, despite the fact that he missed them. If we start scoring from there, it will open up the even higher percentage dish under the hoop (much as the guard penetration did several times).<br /><br />Good progress.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-37940059202461861542013-01-11T02:33:31.487-05:002013-01-11T02:33:31.487-05:00CT, BC basically had only 7 scholarship players av...CT, BC basically had only 7 scholarship players available -- Anderson, Jackson, Hanlan, Rahon, Clifford, Odio, Van Nest.<br /><br />it is funny how sometimes we don't allow any excuses (like we only have freshman and sophs) but make excuses for teams we beat routinely. VA Tech is an ACC team and we beat em on their floor, enough said.<br /><br />it is just nice to see the improvement in handling of the ball, digging in on D and hitting the glass with effort. they play a nice team game.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-11648261524273434902013-01-10T19:02:48.233-05:002013-01-10T19:02:48.233-05:00I think there were great signs of progress last ni...I think there were great signs of progress last night, they moved the ball really well and made that extra pass all night. Heckmann is a disaster, I am sorry. He is a nightmare defensively and he took some really bad shots. If Rahon and Hanlan continue to attack the basket we will be tough to defend.nceaglefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160053748954092862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-13495492855920865132013-01-10T15:58:00.819-05:002013-01-10T15:58:00.819-05:00VT had 5 scholarship players available?

If so, and he regains a modicum of mobility and puts on a few pounds of muscle, he will be a force inside. <br /><br />I like how hard Anderson works inside and am eager to see a slightly stronger version of him playing alongside a healthy Clifford next year.<br /><br />This game would've been a laugher if BC had merely matched its average at the free throw line.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-71410026781446555702013-01-10T12:39:13.909-05:002013-01-10T12:39:13.909-05:00agree with Knucklehead about our size -- and we re...agree with Knucklehead about our size -- and we really have nothing coming in the way of help. we have the ND transfer who is a 6'7 SF who will be eligible next year, and our only recruit is a 6'5 SG. the Harvard stiff is gone after this year, so our depth will be even more lacking down there. what is the plan?<br /><br />that said, i love our guard play -- rahon, hanlan, and jackson all bring different skills to the table and they get better as a group and individually every game. Anderson will continue to get better, which is pretty awesome since he's a 17/10 guy as a sophomore. once he gets stronger and more assertive in the paint, he's going to be an even bigger handful for defenses.<br /><br />@WAKE on saturday is another winnable game, really hope we can get our 2nd conference win (and conf. road win) and get some momentum.<br /><br />currently we are 9-6. after 15 games last year we were 5-10.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-16975403889101419402013-01-10T12:32:33.757-05:002013-01-10T12:32:33.757-05:00The 1,2 and 3 positions are as good as anyone in t...The 1,2 and 3 positions are as good as anyone in the Conference.<br /><br />Hanlon <br />Rahon<br />L.Jackson<br />R. Anderson<br />Henckman - serviceable.<br /><br />The 4 and 5 are need more depth and dependability.<br /><br />Clifford is average and alters shots when he is on the floor. His health is a major issue this year and long term. After him there is nothing really but some guys who can give up fouls: Odio, Claudill, Harvard stiff transfer.<br /><br />If Donahue wants to win games against healthy teams he will have to rotate his big people defensively and ask them to give max effort rebounding for 10 minutes a game. That is our weakness along with experience but that will fix itself.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-18912775141026701922013-01-10T11:46:39.105-05:002013-01-10T11:46:39.105-05:00Virginia Tech has a history good basketball squads...Virginia Tech has a history good basketball squads.

I hope these are just growing pains he needs to go through to take his game to that next level.JoeyMethodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104708425348287092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-45305250957372309772013-01-10T09:31:38.302-05:002013-01-10T09:31:38.302-05:00Likes:

BC hasnt been great at turning teams over, the more aggressive D is resulting in a nice turnover margin, considering our young backcourt isnt giving the ball up to the other team at a high rate.<br /><br />Dislikes: <br />Anderson's mid-range to long game and inability to finish And1 opportunities. Its tough to knock the kid, because he has been playing great (in part because he benefits from our two frosh), but he still has some work to do to be a next level player, he needs to get stronger, and he needs to get his shot ironed out...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543176361189867641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-70297781269071071632013-01-10T09:22:58.541-05:002013-01-10T09:22:58.541-05:00My biggest like: only 5 turnovers.
