I know. I compared it to the teams that I mention in all the rest of my points.
In other words, those 49er teams were more talented and more clutch vs a MORE talented Wake team (3 NBA players).
So I got you. You didnât get me.
I def understand. One game anyone can win. Plus that was only vs. the worst ACC team. What about Pitt, Clemson and the rest over multiple games?
I donât think C-USA teams would do that well.
Nah, itâs because itâs not worth going back and forth anymore. I still canât get my head around you thinking Wildnerness (Jr.) is better than Butler (Grad).

No problem. You have your beliefs. I have mine. Iâm ok with that.
But can you agree that team was more talented than this team?
I never said they were. I just canât believe there is that big of a difference in wins and rank. The big guys and depth of the earlier team was by far better.
I would take this years starting lineup and the â09-â10 bench. Looking back Phil Jones came off the bench and only started 4 games.
The school site must have erased Shamari Spears and Shamar Bowden, they arenât even listed as being on the â09-â10.
You were talking in the present tense both in the part of your post I quoted and subsequent follow up.
You were saying any ACC team would wipe the floor with any CUSA team. I donât agree. Itâs a hypothetical argument since no ACC or CUSA teams play home and home, so anybody can have any opinion they want. Carry on.

Oh so it wasnât about my original post. Yeah youâre right we almost won. But we didnât thought did we? Be honest how many times in a 7 game series would we win vs. them?
We played GREAT the 2nd half vs them showed a lot of heart (one of the few times weâve done that) but it is in no way indicative of how weâd perform vs the ACC as a whole.
We canât be rigid in our hatred for ANYTHING that we canât be objective when analyzing success/failure. We lose perspective, which only leads us to bigger failures.
Freshman braswell was 9.65/8.6 average. Thatâs pretty solid.

Again, your were talking about the dregs of the ACC vs the top of CUSA, not the entire ACC. Please stop moving the goalposts and allow me to have my opinion. Just silently disagree.

Oh so Iâm the one that shouldnât post haha.
Exactly so why are you bringing up a top three ACC team if youâre explicitly pointing out that I referred to bottom of the ACC???
Anyone understand that logic?
Trapp played the 2nd most minutes on a clemson team that danced. Braswell was the first guy off tge nench at the end of tge season for cuse. Both would start at those programs this season. Musa started 28 fames over his career at osu. Butler was near the top of the patriot league in 7 or 8 statistical categories. Playing in the ACC doesnt make you good. Look at BCâs roster, pitt, cuse, ga tech.

I would take this yearâs team if Lutz was coaching them and Sanchez was coaching the other team.
We cannot compare rankings across the teams as 2 different systems were used.
Thatâs my point. Is it talent or coaching?

I thought the shipped sailed on that post but Iâll be glad to go over it again.
They transferred bc they couldnât get anymore PT. Why else would they transfer here? Jallow gets hurt too much. Do I even have to mention that considering his unfortunate injury last game.
Serious the Patriot league? Wow, ok. Yes heâs in the top of a lot of their records. That just proves my point. He stepped up in leagues and isnât producing nearly the same.
Hahahah so hold on. Let me get this straight. Braswell in top all-time rebounds and blocks. Phil Jones one of the best shot-blockers weâve ever had. Goldwire, one of the best shooters and top scorers in our history. Dijuan Harris also in the annuls for top assists in a season.
No yeah itâs all coaching they had little talent before they got here
Please hahahahah?!?!
We are talking about a season in which the ACC has lost games to the following non power conference teams:
The Citadel
Miami U
Navy
Furman
UCF
Rhode Island
St. Bonaventure
Saint Maryâs
VCU
UMBC
Dayton
Monmouth
Albany
Richmond
WKU
JMU
Wright State
Saint Louis
Memphis
The one power conference loss I will mention was to Georgetown - the same team that is winless in BE play.

I agreed that they are down. But what about the ACC does everyone hate that we canât admit they are an overall better basketball conference? Is our ego that damn big??
Guys, canât we love the Niners and be objective when assessing our team and be realistic when comparing them to other teams??
What I am saying is if Lutz was the coach this year and coached them for 4 years and vice versa for Sanchez, you will look at the players talent differently.
Lutz uses the strengths of each player.
Sanchez puts you into a system without caring about your strengths.
It is 2 different styles of coaching,

Actually, I donât hate the ACC. And they are one of the best basketball conferences. Itâs just that they arenât - to quote one of our 2022 recruits - âarguably the best conference in the countryâ!

Honestly, Iâm glad you said that. I thought I was alone in how I felt about the ACC.
