The three Tocacco Roads teams can't get any closer to the bottom of the ACC than they are this morning. Carolina is last at 0-3 and Duke and State are 1-2. They all have one thing in common. They don't have a quarterback. All three are blind as to what to do in half court offense.
Carolina to me has the hardest road to hoe because I don't think they are very good. If you look at Roy Williams what I see in him reading between the lines I don't think he thinks the team he has
right now which is not the team he thought he would have is not very good either.
The lone year Duke had Austin Rivers they had a hard time building a team around a player who knew that was going to be one and done. They never played team ball the way Coach K wants team defense. It looks to me they have the same problem this year as they have a player who has no idea there are four other players on the court wearing the same color uniform as he does.
State has a guard in Cat Barber who is a run up and down guard that has no idea when they are in a half court offense how to get the ball inside the 3 point line. Lewis who thought he was going to be the starter isn't playing well at all when he is in there. If I was State knowing his team plays better running I would press all the time just to get my team moving.
The good news is the season is still early but if all three continue to play the way they are playing now nobody will go 500 in conference play. I don't think it has ever happened that all three looked this bad all at the same time.
Today we will look at TaShaun Mabry the former Gryphon who is playing at Tarleton State in Texas. Tarleton is undefeated at 13-0. Mabry is the first player off the bench and the 3rd leading scorer on the team at 10.8 points per game. He has been red hot shooting 45 per cent of his threes.
