ACC Conference play is almost like a new season beginning. Mack has a chance to right the ship or go down with it.

We are by far the worse loose ball team in the country. We constantly deflect the ball only seeing it lead to dunks and open 3's, for the other team.

Like the ball movement with this starting 5 so far. Not rushing anything Jaylen will come in and jackit up watch and see.

It's pbvious Mack has gotten a point across about selfish play they are moving the ball around and not taking quick bad shots for the most part.

This game is so physical and no calls and then they call a touch foul. I hate it when they do that.

We’ve had scoring droughts for a while. Ever since Rick really. When you have a defensive minded Head coach. Sometimes the effort on offense lacks so they don’t get benched for poor defensive effort lol

I can't believe this team still can't find a rhythm. They make basketball look so hard to play.

The only guy trying to take his man down low is Davis and WF is to big for him down low.

My Lord we are just a very bad team right now. I think we would probably be better if we had only 8 scholarship players. I have never seen a team so deep of players all playing so poorly.

I would love for Withers to make me come back and eat this post. But, I just wouldn't play him anymore. I know Cross is obviously out which makes it tougher to sit the guy, but he's just a train wreck. And I know this team has a ton of issues, not just Withers.

He just doesn't do enough to warrant the playing time he's getting. His bad plays are really bad and he's not atoning for the bad plays at all. This isn't a slump, it's his season to date. I'd go small. I hate calling out players, I'd say that Mack needs to grow a pair and yank the kid's minutes.

Exactly. Would love to see Withers actually do some work down low in the paint. But I'm becoming convinced he is too soft for it. Either that or he is being told specifically not to post up anyone which would be hard for me to believe.

Maybe in the 2nd half. I am begging him to get down low and do what he does best. Last year I felt like he ran the baseline REALLY well. I don't know what's going on with him. He's just too good to play this bad?

Agree, IHOP, Withers size and skill set is completely wasted floating around on the perimeter like a guy 8 inches shorter than he is.

He did run the baseline well last year. He did do plenty of damage in the paint too. If Davis is able and allowed to post ppl up down in the paint when playing PF, then Withers should be able to as well.

Withers nailed that 3 off of a extra pass. If we would just move the ball quickly and stop the backing down defenders in the paint. Drive and kick and kick again. We just dribble around out front playing the two man offense and it's very easy to defend.
