He's always been limited and the reasons Pitino always recruited over him are obvious.

He is our guy, and warrants support. That wasn't a hero ball move. It was just a play where he wanted to be sure the Cards got the last shot. The rest of the team stood around and watched. It's about what should be expected given what we're working with here.

Reality check. He's an average at best PG at this level - he's not anywhere close to being a top tier PG.

That situation would’ve been perfect for a fully engaged Adel to take it at the top. He could’ve driven or dished to the wing. However he currently isn’t playing to his potential.
 
Snider waited too long to go. I know he wanted to make sure they had the last shot. Hate to beat up on him. He’s all we have.

Screen from someone maybe?

That would have been a good play.

Coach Hopgood would have put the ball in Ray's hands on the low block with about 7 or 8 seconds left and given him the option of shooting it or kicking it to a wide open shooter from 3.

Also, I would’ve called a timeout and inserted McMahon to give another shooter on the wing.

Only difference for me is I would've had Anas in there. He has a better offensive skill set, although Ray has gotten much better over the course of the season.

I think Snider was going to penetrate and either hope he had a lane to the hoop or dish to someone if Clemson had to help on Q. Unfortunately Snider wasn't really able to beat his man most of the day.
 
Not sure what was Snider’s issue today. I would like to know if he was under the weather. Not like him to make unforced errors especially when I didn’t think Clemson really pressured him. He acted as a guy who’s just waiting to graduate and get his 1,000 points instead of trying to make this team better.
 
Snider is a great kid but athletically he is lacking. The ball should not have been in his hands at that point when all we needed was a free throw.
 
I get so tired of seeing folks ripping Snider. He is a guy that plays his heart out every single possession. He is not the most talented guy, but he makes the most of what he has been blessed with. He will be the last guy I say negative stuff about as he has given us 4 years of maximum effort all the while dealing with the most BS imaginable from a program perspective.

If you want to rip a player this season rip one that gives no effort. There are a few to choose from on this year's team.

Same here.

They’re better with Q in the game.

Q will forever get the benefit of my doubt because he was a Cat killer.
