dreaming about a team lead by nijel pack and selton miguel  :cry:
i know that you love the cats, i do too.  this season hasn’t gone the way we had all hoped, but the future is bright.  let’s live off of our elite eight run that isn’t even 12 months old and take this year for what it is- a gap year that will build up a bunch of really talented guys who will come back next season and hopefully get complimented with a couple of portal dudes looking to get some dubs.
:cheers:

Sucks, but this team is like one or two players away from being another deep NCAA tourny threat. Oh well

I don’t think Tomlin would have done it this year.

If we had one player to choose, I would want Quis.

Correct

Tomlin would also help, but probably not in the TO department which is out biggest issue. If Quis is a solid/good PG, then this is a tourney team. If we just had Tomlin, we'd probably win an extra game or two but still be bubble material. With both, we're talking a 3/4 seed with another shot at a S16/E8.

i wouldn’t be surprised to hear that TP came here to play the 1, definitely not big enough to play anything else at the next level.  that might be how tang got him here, but this many minutes wasn’t in the plan.

IMO Tomlin would help with turnovers because he can get buckets and a lot of our turnovers are caused by forcing things to try to get buckets.

But like, turnovers aren't the biggest issue, lack of quality wins is. And they aren't that far off in most of these games, he'd definitely win us a few and probably have us in the bubble

Tomlin would do wonders in both 5-0, which we’ve wisely abandoned, and 4-1. And yes, as Mich said it’s because he gets buckets.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

neither mcnair nor colbert are ready to be doing what they’re being asked to do.  so having tomlin means the former two play less, therefore we get better

but more important than tomlin is an experienced point guard as they make everyone on the floor better.  i keep saying it, but I really don’t have any idea what tang was thinking when assembling this roster without a PG.  even quis is a shoot first guy.  the whole thing is what some people call “a real head scratcher”.

Quis may not have been a cure to our TO woes. He average 2.4 TO/game last year and 2.1 assists. The year before 2.8 TOs but 4 assists.
