ECU Game Thread
- Thread starter TU_BLA
- Start date
First three shots all three pointers. We made two of them but it doesn’t seem a good strategy.
Is it 13-4 or 12-4 TU?
After TU forced a trap and ECU took a timeout the score on ESPN changed one of the 1st 3s to a 2 pointer but it was never mentioned so I’m a bit confused.

They can’t hit a shot and our whole team has the Wheelers. This trapping is killing ECU. Is Woj coaching their offense?
I think the sub pattern has been over criticized, but today it’s the most random thing I’ve ever seen.
They should make both teams re-paint the rims.
I don’t think we’re being patient enough. We’re taking some poor shots with lots of time on the clock.
Yep. Haith talked on pre game about getting touches in paint and yelled at team for not doing that. We need to get the ball inside and pass out.
Seems like the game plan was to play very uptempo and aggressive defense. The latter is working well, shot adjustment likely will come at half time.
Gold*, I agree sub pattern tonight has been random. And head scratching.

Scott has been in and out for weird reasons. Henderson makes a bad play and we pull Scott. Wheeler can’t get any banjo rhythm going he’s been pulled so many times.
He should sit the rest of the half after his attempt at a hook shot over a PF after an offensive rebound.
I think he did. That wasn’t his shot. Very weird half offensively. No patience.
Taplin’s play was niiiiice.
Even though Etou’s shot has been off he still has 10 points and 8 boards at half. TU shooting only 31% in that half. We need some adjustments to get guys open near the basket.
Ugly first half, fortunate to lead while shooting 31%. Agree that sub patterns & minutes are odd. It seems players fall in & out of favor with coach. I think it affects players confidence & shooting.
This is BAD basketball. It hurts my eyes.
These teams both suck.
Haith should be fired tomorrow. Won't happen, but he deserves to be fired.
This ship is just going to keep sinking; our recruiting stinks and the rest of the conference has raised their game in that area over past 5 years.

No. ECU is the worst team easily. We are far from it. When shots don’t fall you can look really bad. ECU is trying to take the air out of the ball as well. Every possession for them starts with 12 seconds on the shot clock. They’ve even passed up a couple fast break chances to run 20 seconds of clock. #55 is about the only player we need to watch closely as he has some serious range. Their two big guys are not very good trying to create their own shots but have worked hard at getting offensive rebounds. #32 is brutal with the ball in his hands outside of 6 feet (he’s also missed a bunch of chippies too). I remember Barkley and Tyson from previous years but they don’t really do much.
Our trap really disrupted them...need to go back to it.
If #35 touches the ball and ECU is in the bonus...hack the crap out of him. It’ll be just like a turnover. He shoots FTs worse than Shaquille O’Neal and Andre Roberson.
Korita’s breakout game? He’s playing like we thought he would two years ago.
Korita should remain in the starting lineup every game. He and Taplin together make for a nice tandem defensively. Will only get better with Jeffries returning too.
