Moe-bservations ACC Game 20 @ Miami

[Chairman Moe]

-- 42-20
-- Greg Elliott scoreless
-- need I say anything more?

The 42-20 rebounding differential is the big one. And why did we forget to or refuse to play defense the past few games?? Giving up close to 80 or more than 80 points to the opposing team isn't good defense.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

We haven’t particularly been great on defense all season. But we had often been able to really tighten up in the last 4-5 minutes in many games, enough to allow us to seal a win or outscore enough to overtake the opponent and win. The previous Miami game is a prime example. But depending on that is playing with fire. And now the team is finally getting burned with the defensive indifference in the first 85% of most games.

 

[Chairman Moe]

I could've added that Wooga Poplar goes 6-8 on his 3-point attempts which confirms a soft defense. He has gone for a pretty high percentage all year. Goes to show that Miami is more than just Wong, Pack, and their big guy. Two "senior night" road games, back to back, are also hard to win games. But if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas
