    Dean Smith got a reaction from Chuck Taylor in Sharpie or dry erase: Way too early starting lineup predictions   
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Or rule changes favor the offense. Or all three.

    @basketballjones as to your Tim Miles comments, I would tend to agree. I remember someone telling me that when Osborne was interviewing potential candidates for the job, Miles was the clear and obvious choice. That, when asked what his plan would be to elevate the program to respectability, he was actually able to articulate in detail the plan that he would implement to bring success to this program.
     
    People can argue if they wish, but I will always believe that Eichorst screwed Miles and our program by cutting his recruiting off at the knees when he refused to extend his contract the customary 4 years. At that point, I think you're jumping over dollars to save nickels. And it will never cease to amaze me how the tightwads in the fanbase acted like it was THEIR money we were saving by not extending Miles' deal.

    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.

    Nope. Over the last 2 games I've noticed there have been more than a couple times Tominaga was open and they didn't pass him the ball and reversed it the other way. Williams had an egregious one today. But I've seen a few others do it too. Hopefully just a coincidence and nothing more.

    Keisei made three or four passes that should have resulted in FG/assists.  So the lack of assists were not due to lack of effort.  In addition, I really thought that the team really didn't look Tominaga's way often enough.  That may just be my imagination though.

    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.

    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.

    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.
