^absolutely not. taking it in transition was the right call

Yeah, they were caught in scramble defense, it was the right move.

That was sarcasm dal9. However, anyone that loved shane's last shot is a revisionist....

When I saw what he was about to do, I was screaming at the TV, telling Shane that I was ready to fight him irl. Then it went in and I thought he was the greatest guy ever.

Why is he so bad defensively?

AppleJack · « **Reply #78 on:** January 25, 2014, 02:25:18 PM »

he plays on-ball D like i do at my gym.

Jackstack99EMAW · « **Reply #79 on:** January 25, 2014, 02:28:08 PM »

I mean he hits his shots sometimes and is a good overall passer, but I think overall, we'll probably be better off without him because of how very bad he is at defense.

This is an example of a dumb opinion.

What does he do well defensively? He's pretty good offensively, but he's very, very bad at defense. He was a complete stud last year and the last couple games before texas, but is still not good defensively.

For one, he leads our team in blocks. He isn't a great defender, but we most certainly wouldn't be better off without him.

Yeah that was too far.

rough ridin' Shane. Killed us in 2 straight games now.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #85 on:** January 25, 2014, 03:02:54 PM »

That's Stretch of ClankOShane was a killer.

EMAWzified · « **Reply #86 on:** January 25, 2014, 03:07:10 PM »

Total inability to get Gipson involved offensively killed us. To the degree Shane contributed to that, he killed us.
Absence of coaching down the stretch played a significant role. Last two minutes, Cats never got the shot they wanted. oscar sits on his hands with 31 seconds to go, Cats with ball down by 4. We get nothing.

Did Nigel play today? Is he a candidate for a transfer. Not likely he'll ever start with Thomas in the same class. A lot of good basketball schools near D.C.

Why do people continue to forget that we have a senior guard that plays 30 minutes a game?

Who forgot? I just see Nigel's situation as much like that of Fred Brown's. No reason to stay here and never start a game in his career, especially when a year of maturity would do him a world of good.

People don't think completely rationally. It's easier to remember Frankings and notice trend of transfers in NCAAb than pay attention to natural roster turnover. Nigel has plenty of minutes waiting for him.

Yeah we should all delude ourselves into thinking Shane is a great player.

Where did you see the adjective "great" thrown around. Quit being a dumbass.

[/quote]I for one would love to have players who could develop Instead of being pressed into sevice because of Attrition. Of course we should be willing to old Yeller a senior if we have better options or players with more upside.

He was playing pickup games at the rec thursday night, with no other players there. Seems like a telltale sign of planning to move on. Maybe it's just me.

Clark for OU was invisible against us. Shane guarded him most of the game. Holmes did little before his game winning 3. Shane was guarding him a lot. He is not a lock down defender but I think he does a decent job most games trying to guard other team's 4

He never should be in a position where he is the guy we're counting on to get baskets late in a game.

I love Shane.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #99 on:** January 25, 2014, 04:57:46 PM »

Shane attacks the basket late in games and generally good things (scores or fouls) have happened. I have no problem with what he does. I trust the aggressive approach more than trying to get a shot out of oscar's offense on a quick possession.

PS - Did not see ISU game today.
