Dear lord, how did we lose to Rutgers?

Any chance Cam Jones plays?

I don’t disagree, but he was basically arguing against this line of thinking.

I guess I don’t understand your argument, what is actually causing the underperformance come tourney time in your mind?

Agreed Gonzaga is a bit overrated at this point, their PG play leaves a lot to be desired. And some of the studs they have brought in haven't panned out so far (e.g., Hunter Sallis). But I think their floor is probably top 20, and a win over a top 20 team by 20 on a neutral court is impressive no matter how you slice it.

They just beat Gonzaga by 20 on a neutral court. I think it would be harder to argue the opposite at this point.

I know, I'm almost ready to give my mea culpa. Would figure our 5 star Indiana point guard turned out to be terrible (Lander - his stat line at WKU is reinforcing that) while Smith barely cracks the top 200 and is immediately really good.

Seriously, Purdue is laying the wood to Gonzaga. Is it time to admit Braden smith is legit?

43-42, what a barnburner.

That is legitimately wild. Is he worse than he was a high school senior at this point?

You are the only one banging the drum on kopp overhelping. He is actually a pretty good off ball defender.

Wow just wow. I had turned that game off 3 separate times. And the ending was a cornucopia of emotions. Never expected us to score in 2 plays in double OT. Williams threw two great passes including the 2 point try, with the OL giving him time both times.

Seriously, when Colby Jones fouled out he basically refused to leave the court and said it was a BS (not abbreviated) call multiple times clearly within earshot of the ref and yet that’s not a tech while whatever Reneau said was? The taunting doesn’t affect the game in any way and yet the techs are going to affect the outcome of games. A 2 shot penalty is a big deal.

Texas looking really good. Although Gonzaga is a tad bit overrated. They don’t have a true pg.

I think you have your numbers mixed up. We’d keep him around for two more years to save 20M+.

I agree that he didn't look bad last night but let's see him play against a little better competition. I think he's going to get abused on defense in the Big Ten.

If I'm an assistant coach, not sure I'd love being called out for privately discussing a player's deficiencies.

I can concede your point, but we are barely a top 100 team in the country right now. And our resources, especially moving forward, far exceed at least half of them.

I'm kind of shocked this made the headlines of the ESPN's NCAAF page.

I wish he would provide a little context to his statement of needing to come a long way to fulfill expectations.

Agreed. The simple fact is that we couldn't risk him taking first team reps all spring and then getting hurt again. I'm happy for him and am cheering for him but letting him walk was absolutely the right decision.

Please continue with your brilliant commentary and analysis.

Although I obviously don’t know him or his thoughts, I see no reason that McCollough would come back next season. Go to a winning program and make more NIL money.

I’m still incensed over that. You had the first down plus a couple more yards, just go out of bounds. Great, you made one man miss, there are two more guys right there to tackle you immediately. If he hadn’t just thrown it in the air he would have fumbled when one of those guys popped him. Huge risk for literally almost zero prospect of return.

I hope Coby never touches the ball again. That was so unbelievably f’ing dumb on his part.
