  1. I get the Hargrove comparison from a pure athleticism perspective, but I see Thames as more technical, more refined. More of a Nesbitt type - but much more unselfish and without the anger issues. Too unselfish at times for certain… I do know the staff widely regarded him as the player with the most upside..even more than Parker.
  2. That was fun to watch! Have to love the announcer calling Martinez a “cheat code off the bench”
  3. Ha! I’m going to guess you’re one of the few fellows on this board who knows where Djibouti it, let alone been there….and it is amazing how one finds Heineken everywhere - in the most remote corners of the globe. Amazing Dutch entrepreneurship!
  4. Any insight as to how we looked against City Next and Indiana? Is Moore playing?
  5. He’s officially “Director of Scouting”, which means he’s on the road watching UVA’s next opponent most of the year. You won’t see him on the bench at many games and doesn’t have much to do with recruiting. Helps Bennett devise game plans and identify strengths/holes in the upcoming opponent.
  6. Based on games at which I was physically present, this is #2. Number 1 was Goodwin’s driving layup at the buzzer to take the 1/17/20 Dayton game into overtime. Don’t think I’ve ever seen Chaifetz go as crazy as it did at that precise moment…place was packed….insane!
  7. Tech was brutal, but if I’m going to pick only one reason for why we lost, it was our 3 point shooting. Sincere a solid 4-6, our other three big guns: 2-6, 1-5, 0-5….and many of them wide open. VCU did not miss their open shots. We’re not going to win any shootouts with those kind of percentages.
  8. I’m just saying these are our five best players. Play them at the same time. Fun to watch. Let the chips fall where they may….
  9. Players on the floor for the vast majority of the time need to be Parker, Hughes, Thames, TJ and Gibson…..no big man, but I don’t care. This is far and away our most effective set. Parker and Hughes share the point duties.
  10. Next two games will tell us if this was an anomaly or a corner turn. I know I’ll be at the VCU game…shouting my head off and converting another date into a Bills fan. FIND THE OPEN MAN!
  11. I hear you. I’m a half full guy. Saw a path out of the darkness in the last game. Now let’s give it full gas!
  12. They score 84, we score 85. Simple…and we have the shooters/athletes to do it. I have complete faith that an open GJ, Parker or LHII will make the vast majority of their shots. And possibly add Thames to the mix…have not seen him put up enough 3’s to gauge. I don’t think the defense is going to improve, not going happen. So only option is to get it done on offense. Again, simple….
  13. This! Our guys finally start looking for the open man rather than forcing shots when well guarded…we’ll be tough to beat in the A10. It’s really this simple.
  14. I can definitely use your tickets. Will message you.
  15. We truly are operating at a Power 5 level in Women’s soccer. Nice to see - at least for the insignificant minority of those of us on this board who enjoy a good soccer game…;)
  16. All good points, IU outplayed Washington the week prior. Should have won. SLU would have hosted the next game. One can only imagine the insane scenario……10,000 fans?? Moore is exactly what this team is missing, a technical, quick, striker. Not certain Komodi was a major piece last season; but Buendia definitely was.
  17. Definitely more Thames. No one else on the team brings what he brings.
  18. Larson was second team A10….tell me one player, let alone 11, who are better than she is in the A10. She was the best player on the field today…including the PSU players. And not taking anything away from PSU. They are the best team the Bills have played since the Rutgers team who scorched us in the second round a couple of years ago.
  19. Yeap, I get the same vibe with Thames…it’s like he’s on the verge of taking it to another level of which we’ve only seen glimpses…
  20. Curious as to whether or not recruiting class rankings include foreign (non-transfer) players. I have a feeling they do not….
  21. I did watch the 2nd half of the Hoyas-ODU game. Izzy and Eva are going to need to bring their A+ game. Hoya right wing #6 is a speed merchant with serious skills. Destroyed the ODU left side…
  22. Old Dominion is not a walkover for Hoyas. They are a solid team. Destroyed their A10 competition and played Hokies straight up. But, yeah,….let’s get by IU first…
  23. Rhetorical….but how is Larson not first team?? She is, in my opinion, our most technical player.
  24. Yep, I heard Travis a week ago state (I’m paraphrasing a bit) “we are going to press, press and press some more. Press and trap. Almost every time the opponent has the ball. And TJ will play a large amount of time at the 5. Will be an heck of a match up problem for opponents bigs. Our strengths are the 1, 2 and 3…Meadows is an amazing player, will be the primary 1.” Travis had a UMass team that played this way. Beat a bunch of blue bloods. Made the semi-finals of the NIT I believe.
  25. Missouri State is good, really good. They moved the ball around as well as any college team I’ve seen this year. If they find a way to correct their unfortunate finishing…..look out…. Also, our GK’s are not receiving enough Kudos. They’ve both been fantastic in the several games I’ve watched. I understand completely why Kalish plays both of them. Finally, did Moore receive a red shirt, or are we holding out hope he recovers and plays this year?
