What are you WADEing for?; ISU ADV

Last time we had 3, 20+ scorers was THE Xavier game

[mocat]

Dang we scored 91, and only 4 came from the bench

[catastrophe]

This was a good win for the Cats.  The criticism of our bench in a 91 point game is ridiculous. That’s like saying, “yeah, he threw for 5 TDS, but our backup QB didn’t do crap!”

[catastrophe]

Similar analogy: “Yeah it’s great he pitched a 1 hit complete game, but I can you believe our closer didn’t throw a single strike?”

[wetwillie]

we don't have a bench, you can't criticize something that doesn't exist.

Who's criticizing it weirdo?

Yeah except the bench played 66 minutes. Playing that much I an average paced game and scoring only 4 points is pretty remarkable when you consider how efficient the offense was. It's almost like you'd have to make an effort to not score in that many minutes.

Also your analogies are incredibly stupid and our weak bench will cost us games this year, even if it didn't yesterday.

I'm just saying it's crazy weird.

For example, other scores this weekend (bench points in parentheses):

WVU 85 (28)
OSU 77 (16)
TTU 77 (42)
KU 92 (13)
UT 86 (17)
OU 90 (30)
TCU 89 (34)

Our win was awesome and fun, but don't those parentheticals just prove that our bench was trash compared to every other team? 

[stunted]

i did the math and according to my calculations the bench averages 17 points a game which isn't far off that list. scoring points is just one thing though, if they can dominate the play-hard chart that'd be great.

What about it says our bench is weak? You’d be melting down just as hard if we stopped feeding guys who were making a high % of shots. Again, we’re not talking about a game we won because of amazing defense or a lucky day against ISU. We scored 90+ points.

Why is it all of the sudden bad coaching to say, these dudes are doing a great job offensively, let’s keep going back to them.

How about this analogy: pretty great that Jordy Nelson caught 5 TDs for 200 yards, but sucks our other WRs only caught 3 passes. That sure shows we are in trouble.

Oh so you were just anticipating the criticism

It's the WHO WILL _______ WHEN THE SENIORS GRADUATE!?!? time of year again.

I like that catastrophe is doubling down on his analogies. Can't wait to see if he pulls out a soccer analogy next.

I think there were some similar posts in other threads as well.

I’m not super proud of them tbh.

Well I apparently so since I don’t give a crap how many points Joe Walkon scores when we put up 90. Guess I’m just the resident idiot of the South Carolina Gamecocks board. Maybe Brown should have been passing it more instead of driving into wide open lanes?

[stunted]

we'll be fine with the bench as long as nobody gets injured. even if we had an above average bench, if one of the stud 4 goes down, we're probably just as screwed at getting a deep run.

The shitty bench makes the big four more likely to get injured

[kso_FAN]

Meh. Depth for us in basketball is probably similar to football. We need our main guys to stay healthy. I don't worry about guys getting "tired" either.

[pissclams]

i fully expect for us to shoot 55% this season which is exactly why I think this team is good

[stunted]

all the reaching to hate on this team is getting boring

seems incredibly unlikely to have all four guys be healthy the whole year, but i will give you that if they somehow do manage to avoid missing any time with one of the 4 guys to injury this team can be good.
