  1. Josiah has to stop trying to create. He can’t.
  2. Gary may have been our best player since he came back. He and Mast need more minutes than Allick. Big gap between those two and him. And personally, I’d like to see more Keisei.
  3. That was my comment earlier - it’s all subjective. Whether people want to admit it or not there is no way of really “proving” anything.
  4. I admit to age bias, everyone thinks the music and sports were better in their day. The league used to be 23 teams. We are now at 30. That’s over an extra 100 slots. From my perspective I see players that start or are big rotation players from championship teams today that wouldn’t be good enough to even be on a team in a 23 team league.
  5. Or… the same stat could be used to show the defense is getting worse. It’s subjective.
  6. I think the difference is no Walker. Same cuts just no delivery. Mast is Ok but not Walker and Allick looked at a couple cuts that KT was wide open on and just didn't pull the trigger. A couple were so obvious that he could hear the crowd make a collective groan.
  7. CJ also hit the side of the backboard. Gary needs to go to the basket more I agree but he has a completely different shot than last year. His FT’s are just under 70% and after the last game he is still shooting about 38% from three. Even in the last game he shot 33%. So attack the basket more but he still can catch and shoot within the offense.
  8. Horrible judgement, yes. Unforgivable, yes. He’s also one of the US top 6 or 7. Take his punishment whatever that is - probably won’t get called up for the next camp because he can’t play with the red. If we have any chance to be competitive in the Copa we need a well-heeled Dest at left back. If we can smooth over the Gio controversy, we can make this work as well.
  9. As as recovering Nebraskaball fan I have hit rock bottom watching the first half. The defense is lackluster against a bad offensive team and we couldn’t score in a house of ill repute right now. Thought I would get the pessimistic panic attack out of the way earlier this year.
  10. And down goes Michigan State
  11. Add Keisei and Gary and you’re at a 10 man rotation. I don’t think we’re going to play a 10 man rotation. Add those two and he’s not in the top 8. Minutes should be limited for Hoiberg and Rice. Both of them are ok players. We simply have 8 better players then those two and that’s a good thing.
  12. Rutgers loses to Princeton and Mich State is now tied with James Madison with 12 left
  13. autocorrect - I think Wood is testifying against Trump so I don’t think he qualifies as a trump supporter in or out of the closet.
  14. Linwood is basically UNK so good yes, but can’t get carried away
  15. Ya I knew that but to me there’s a huge difference between depression and not being motivated to play. That’s why I said maybe it was just the way he worded it that I found troubling.
  16. I must of missed that. I know a lot of people jumped to the conclusion of a failed drug test. And maybe it’s just the way you phrased it that seems so off putting.
  17. Except for the from the side of the head jumper
  18. Union having at least an expected 3.0 xg was the issue. No one could finish last night.
  19. Coming back from playing in Hawaii for Hastings, Bart found himself throwing up on the plane for some reason and then had to transfer out. I did see him dunk at 12 feet on that hoop Doc Farrell had that could crank up and down. Down for me.
  20. I believe so, yes. I just think if one of them has to play I would prefer it to be Cale.
  21. My opinion is if Sam is playing any meaningful minutes, something bad has happened. I also believe Jacobson can do everything Sam can and is twice the athlete.
  22. Let’s come back to this at the end of the season. This year’s team hasn’t done anything yet. That 18-19 team had as much talent in the starting line up back to our Big 8 tourney championship team. I’ve never seen Mast play and I have high hopes for him and a couple others but let’s see them do it at the bank and then I’ll move them above that team.
  23. That would make more sense and I would agree with everything except he wasn’t Usain Bolt but he could run
