  1. No turnover. Make FT's....profit!
  2. Funny how elbows to face are treated as felonies sometimes and disregarded other times.
  3. I checked out the IL board, one poster there even noted we've been getting jobbed.
  4. I'd love to see XJ get last-possession redemption.
  5. Miracle of miracles -- we're in the BONUS!
  6. It seems many of our guys see it as a "Do or what ever" game.
  7. It's pick your poison proposition, IMO.
  8. At this point, a part of me hopes we get blown out and humilated. Maybe that will motivate MW & staff to make major changes. I don't care who's a good kid, good teammate, blah blah blah. If the player doesn't cut the mustard - cut 'em loose. Sad to say this, but I think we all recognize this roster is what it is - a bottom third B10 one and we've had enough of it.
  9. He's got a 'nice' little 0-fer going...smh

    My guess: just like his FT shooting, he wasn't committed to doing what he needed to do to improve.

    Painfully correct. I'm done expecting or hoping we improve because of player improvement. How many of thse guys have the exact same deficiencies as they did as freshmen - poor decision making, poor FT shooting, developing more range, etc.. Honestly the only improvement I saw this season was better overall team defense (likely because we no longer run that stupid packline garbage).

    Yes. I'm not sure how much better this group would be with a different coach. Same players, with the same short comings making the same stupid decisions. Woodson's fate/success hinges as much on his ability to dramatically improve the roster (and quick) as it does his coaching ability. Obviosly his recruiting can't be judged yet, but his first results in the transfer market are unacceptable.

    The curse of Archie Miller's lousy recruiting continues to cause us misery. Langford may be the only good shooter he brought in and I'm not sure how possible it is to get one in the portal - good shooters are too valuable and the competition for the few available is massive.

    Race's defense on Harper has been crap all night

    One of the bigger disappointments this season, IMO.

    RU is in the game, largely, because of lucky bounces and favorable officiating...

    Does the NCAA or B10 have a statistic for scoring efficiency when benefitting from sh*tty officiating? I think RU is 100% tonight.

    Sounds like he prefers to play on stupid courts (vandy & minny)...

    Anyone care to elaborate about the recruiting blunders mentioned earlier? Were these "promote your alma mater while recruiting for another school" or "toilet blunders"?
