I only come here for your intellectual intelligence. You are the true genius. I miss your private messages.

Well, if you only come here for me, I can certainly see why you’d miss private messages.

If we shot 13/19 from the line instead of 8/19 we win this game, no question about it. That win would look pretty good right now.

Things you didn't think you'd tweet: Georgia Tech has beaten both Duke and North Carolina in Year One under Damon Stoudamire.

Have to give credit when it is earned. Gapare had 6 points, 8 boards and 3 blocks.

Of course. Would we have beaten Hawai'i and then Nevada to take it all? Would we have lost to Hawai'i and then lost to TCU? Beat Hawai'i and then lost to Nevada? Possibilities are endless from that different outcome. I'm just glad they bounced back and took care of business after that. I excuse this one, and even the Harvard one, even though that pill is getting tougher to swallow considering how bad they are now. It's thinking you're over the hump and then having the Loyola game creep back that bothers me the most. If we hit FT's against Loyola or grab a defensive rebound and again grab a defensive rebound against St. Joe's we are 15-5 and 6-2. That's a glaring difference right now.

You're most likely right, but honestly I think the kid is playing out of position. The games I watched of him at GTech, and even at UMass, he was out on the wing. With his height, length, and jumping ability he should be playing more on the interior. Bulk him up a little, play a little high/low post and develop a mid range jumper and he could be super effective. It's a waste of his physical talents on the perimeter as he's not a great deep threat. Get him stronger and use his quickness on the inside.

Whether or not he can pickup on offensive & defensive schemes is another thing

It's funny.. after I wrote that I was like "well we are going to the MAC" lol.. I think he gets lost on the wing because he gets pushed around down low... he doesn't battle
