There is no substitute for highly skilled and experienced guard play.*

When you have multiple guards with those qualities, you can be really dangerous.

Not to neglect the rest of the roster, but when the crap hits the fan, you just need to have a guy who you can put the ball in his hands, and he can make a play. The more, the better(I'm putting the max at 3).


*Unless you have 2 5* FR frontcourt players, and even then, we were good, but not great.

[MakeItRain]

you have to be a complete moron to think this is anything like a Jim Wooldridge season.

Right.  Instead of finishing 6-10, we'll finish 8-10, and there will be numerous close losses.  

Totally different.

we can't expect our program to go to the NCAA every year, Wabash.  That's f'ing crazy talk.  Just be happy that it's better than Wooly, Asbury, and Dana.  The floor is always the standard.

We should be one of the 3 programs in the country that not only make the tournament every year, but not only that but never be on the bubble.  If you're on the bubble that means you're absolutely not going to make it.  Pretty fair expectation IMO.

Very true.

Our best guard in terms of taking control is clearly Angel, and when he's good he's very good. But he just has stretches where he struggles, and he had one of those down the stretch in the 2nd half.

It's about as reasonable as excepting goEMAW posters to not be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) and meltdowny.

He definitely showed some stones hitting a few of those shots late and fearlessly attack the rim.

6 TO's and a couple came during the decisive stretch late. He has a good feel for throwing the lob on the pick and roll but I think he might have went to the well once too often there.

Just hope he keeps learning and continues to get better.

we're going to the NIT this year.  That's 2 in 5.  1 in 8 years? okay.  2 in 5, not okay. 

And going to the NIT this year was completely avoidable if frank wasn't an average recruiter and awful at roster management.  this team lacks leadership, leadership that could have come if Frank could have figured out a way to be anything more than a brick wall.

what's Buchi and Abdul Herereafdafa doing?

[MakeItRain]

what's Buchi and Abdul Herereafdafa doing?

I'm guessing the same thing they'd be doing had they exhausted their eligibility at KSU

[michigancat]

This game eliminated us from NCAA tournament eligibility?

how about Devon?  How about Myles?  Omari was a really nice addition to this team as well.  Nino was definitely a fantastic recruit - I mean he had 4 stars, glad frank is getting all 4 out of him.  And the work Frank has done with JO is quite simply a privilege to watch.  Having your junior big man regress to his freshman year is amazing.  Knowing that whatever we get out of Diaz this year is what we can expect out of him in 2 years is so comforting.  Hey, at least those two bigs made it through at least one year - Freddy's in colombia, right?

[catzacker]

This game eliminated us from NCAA tournament eligibility?

no, just a step closer. they don't announce time of death until the last breathe.  hell even then they fight to revive the dead person for at least a few minutes. 

[michigancat]

This game eliminated us from NCAA tournament eligibility?

no, just a step closer.

Oh, because you said we missed the tournament 2 out of 5 years and I was confused.

no, I said we will.  but i said that at the 10 minute mark of the first game.    but we could always pin our hopes on winning a conf tournament.  I mean, that's logical.

6-12 is worse than 6-10, so this season is actually worse.

Stop stealing all the thoughts out of my brain and posting them. The lack of improvement out of our bigs is astounding/unexcusable.

Right, he has to be very good when he is good to make up for all of the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) bullshit he does when he is being bad.

While I'm melting down, I'd just like to say it really sucks being the third best basketball team in the state.  #PayGregMarshall

9-9 and a win in the big 12 tourney we will get in

9-9 and a loss in the big 12 tourney........ yes a bubble team for sure

8-10.   And our chances are not good

Lots of BB still left.    Lots to be decided still

9-9 is not a lock at all.  like, at all.

[Kat Kid]

9-9 is not a lock at all.  like, at all.

That's why he said + a win in the conference tourney too dumbass.

sans a championship game run, you're either in or out prior to the conf tournament, dumbass.

[PowercatPat]

I do not see 3 more wins on our schedule to get to 9 wins. I am not very confident that we will win at A&M.

[Saulbadguy]

What the refs did to us is inexcusable.

What the refs did to us is inexcusable.

they know our fans are giant pussies and there is no repercussions for effing us in the A.
