1. How Will Deng Adel Recover From His Meltdown Against Notre Dame?

Deng Adel has been one of those players that we tend to get frustrated with every other game. He played well against Kentucky, bad against Virginia, good against Indiana, and bad against Notre Dame. I guess he is on track to have another solid game against Georgia Tech right?

With that being said, it will be interesting to see how he handles the Notre Dame loss, especially since he gave away a few possessions in the final two minutes.

If we have learned one thing, it’s that the ball should never be in Adel’s hands in the final minutes of an ACC game.

However, a few clutch performances over the next few weeks could change our opinion about Deng Adel pretty fast.
