Important game. Need to bounce back strong and show a full game effort,

Only that you lack reading comprehension. I said the expectation would be making the NCAAT. Whether he would or not would depend on how he utilized the portal, developed the players, and got the most out of them. Same as the current staff. And you keep bringing up years that have nothing...

Coaching - C. Pre-season work was pretty good. Took too long to get the staff together imo but a solid staff. Good get in Abram from the portal and flipping Ndongo. Solid get in Reeves but not sure wing was a priority we needed to address. Some questionable takes in Gapare and Dowuona...

Because basketball isn't a sequence to extrapolate out. What Pastner did in 2018 has no impact on what he was returning in 2023. We were returning a back court in an extremely good condition. A 5th year PG (Sturdivant) who finished last year strong (12.5 points and a near 3 to 1` A/T ratio) a...

Last year we finished the year winning 6 of the last 9 against ACC opponents. Yes, there was some weaker teams in there but we had some momentum and we were set to return everyone except Franklin. Now I'm sure some would have transferred out anyways, but likely not nearly as much as did, and...

So one early loss isn't the end of the world. Maybe we can straighten the ship out and maybe Terry and Baye returning will have big impacts. With that being said, I still cannot for the life of me understand our starting line up and why we are starting Gapare and Abram. Last year we finished...

You can find reasons to be excited, but if you don't understand the reasons for apathy then you're just blinded by gold shades. We're playing Howard. A team from a one bid league with that being a 16 seed. The program has 1 NCAAT appearance in the past decade. Our new head coach might turn...

Win beats a loss but we had a lot of issues we need to either hope were one offs or we need to fix. One more tuneup game before first big test in cinci.

One game, really one half of one game, isn't definitive of anything especially missing some pieces. That being said, we should at minimum be competitive with the combination of talent and experience we have in the back court. If not then we've got bigger issues.

Don't really agree about Abram playing better. Abram scored 18 points with 1 assist on 6/7 shooting Kyle scored 5 points with 11 assists on 2/3 shooting. Abram scored significantly more while Kyle facilitated for other significantly better. Both played very well against an overmatched in...

I don't get the bold. Why should we be worried about Abram feeling demoted, when Kyle was the one who was the starting PG here the last two years and the one who actually lost his starting job?

\ At the time he set the record it was 21, since having been broken a good number of times. Also, that record was more a dubious one as he went 5/21 on the night,

I think the vast majority, if not all, of our teams the past 10-15 ish years had 10 minute stretches against bad teams where they looked great. For instance last year against UNI we were up 43-20 at the half. IMO the thing that sets this apart from most of the past 10-15 ish years is a very...

Don't want to read too much into one game, especially the first one and against a team with not a lot of expectations. First 30 minutes had a lot of issues but outscored them 32-12 the last 10. Did we just wear them down or did things start to click? Which is more indicative of the team...

Last year we had 7-0 Martynov, 6-11 Howard, and 6-8 Bagatskis and Meka. The one who played was the one who was best no matter the height. Everything I've seen from Claude suggests a very heavily interior oriented player without much of a game to stretch the court. I can't really see him...

Scrimmages and exhibitions are fun but meaningless for the fans. They are meaningful for the coaches and players but trying to extrapolate anything from one isn't really worth the time especially against a D2 team, and especially with as many missing pieces as we had.

I was mostly referring to the point about Fritz keeping the option because that's what he had the players for as if he wasn't already utilizing the option concepts at his previous stop. But I don't agree that we had an option built team at least as far as being a benefit serving as a...

Fritz was already running an option offense prior to coming to Southern. It was a bit different than Southern's but it was still option based and one of the reasons that he was chosen was the belief that the talent that Southern had at the time fit well with what he was already doing. Even...

It's not a matter of belief. This is Key's 5th year here. This was Key's 15th game as head coach. But I agree. You won't be dissuaded from your delusion.

Just so we are clear, you're using 4 games where Key was offensive line coach and we scored 0 points as a defense for him?
