Man we really would have missed out... lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe we are bruised now... but I’d say we were stabbed and then shot ourselves in the foot after Sampson. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Don’t worry. I can’t either. I was -9. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

There should be a couple classes still. But barely. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Who cares? Green doesn’t care about playing or being part of team. He needs to sit the bench. We can play with just Phinisee, Durham and Franklin. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He doesn’t have to play and shouldn’t play a second. But Archie will likely start him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Durham hasn’t been good against the better teams we’ve played this season though. He’s been almost non existent. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s really bad. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Now count the misses. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

247Sports has them 3rd best. Smith 78th Thompson 134th Moore 151st Durham 230th That’s an awful class. Smith is playing to his ranking I would say. Durham is playing above his ranking... but not by a whole lot. I think there is a reason he plays so well against lesser teams. He fits in better. Thompson and Moore... honestly, I’d rather have Moore. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He had an okay night. And that’s as far as I’d take it. TJD and Smith has okay nights. The team as a whole sucked. Al had a great night from the line. A lot of bonus FT’s when they kept stopping fast breaks. But he’s got to do that against Ohio State and Penn State and Michigan State etc. not just crappy teams. Maryland he had 5 points, Arkansas he had 2 points because he was an idiot, Notre Dame 5 points, FSU 5 points. He had 17 in the Wisconsin butt kicking and 9 against UConn. The whole question was if people would be okay with him transferring at the end of the year because he’s been recruited over. I personally would be fine with it. Same with Anderson and Thompson. But it’d only work if Archie played the grad transfers game because we can find better players than Al. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

NBA and NFL teams always make the mistake of just hiring a coach that failed somewhere else. Really doesn’t make sense to me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Meaning he took 12 ft’s(which is a shot) and 7 FG’s. Which is 19. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’d argue Justin Smith. Down the stretch, he really boosted us to the win last night. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No that’s 16 points taking 19 shots. Technically. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Going 2-7 from the field isn’t efficient. Which he was. His FT shooting was. But it also didn’t really come in the flow. Like I said, he didn’t stick out any because his points were scored at the FT line. You know why he didn’t stand out? Because he hit 2 FT’s at the 7:38 mark and then didn’t score again until he hit 2 FT’s with 2 seconds left. He had zero rebounds in that time, zero steals in that time, 1 assist and was 0-1 from the field. So you say he had a great game but it was just an okayish type of game. It wasn’t great. He didn’t look great. The team didn’t look great. He didn’t stand out from anyone. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’s misleading to say he scored 16 on 7 shot attempts. He actually scored 16 on 19 shot attempts. Which isn’t awful but because it was just FT’s outside of a 2 and 3 he hit... wasn’t a noticeable 16. Same with Smiths 18 and TJD’s 20. James Harden can score 40 but he shot 25-30 from the FT line and went 6-35 from the field. Durham play well relative to the team. On most nights, he wasn’t good and we would have lost, even with his FT’s. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He did have 16 points on 2-7 FG attempts. Because he hit 11 FT’s. “16 points on 7 FG attempts” is incredibly misleading. He was still bad last night. Was he the tallest midget? Because everyone sucked last night collectively. There were zero positives to take away from the game other than getting a W. Though the close win actually hurt us in the NET rankings. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Relative to the rest of team maybe? But he still wasn’t good. No one was. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I honestly didn’t even notice him. I know he shot FT’s when NW was stopping some fast breaks. But he was still out of control a lot and still made some dumb decisions. But the team as a whole sucked. TJD didn’t stand out to me either. Smith did a couple times on some tip backs. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’s not like Al played great last night. Maybe relative to the rest? But TJD and Smith were still better. 11 of his 16 points from the FT line. Some of those came with NW trying to stop fast breaks. Others were with him out of control and getting lucky. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think we’ve already recruited over Al is my point. He will get to play because he is a Senior, but I think both Leal and Franklin will be better. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So next year we will clearly be without Green and Davis. TJD is a wait and see, IMO he needs two more years at a minimum. As for others, Durham, Brunk and Smith will be Seniors. Phinisee, Thompson, Anderson will be Juniors. TJD, Franklin, Hunter will be Sophomores and as of now we have Leal, Geronimo and Galloway coming in. Which puts us at a depth chart projected somewhere around... PG- Phinisee, Franklin SG- Durham, Leal, Galloway SF- Smith, Geronimo, Anderson, Hunter PF- TJD, Thompson C- Brunk Now the real question is, how mad or upset would anyone be taking Durham and Anderson out of that? We clearly need a legitimate PG... or two and another big man. I don’t think Anderson will ever figure it out at this level and would fit in best at an Indiana State or Evansville. As for Durham, the fact he’d likely be starting just hurts us. He’s clearly not good enough to try and force to be one of our best players. Would we be better off just Leal start? If Durham stays would he embrace a role off the bench as a glue guy? Now I’m not a big fan of his. I personally think he makes way too many dumb decisions with the ball, gets lazy of defense and he doesn’t help our shooting any, but no one does. Personally I think we would be better off going to grad transfers for a PG and a big man. I think we have enough wings and I think Leal is more talented than Durham, so we’d be fine. I’d say I hope Durham makes a leap, but he peaked his Sophomore year, so he is who he is. I think Franklin will pass him up next season as well and the starting two spot should be between Franklin and Leal. So would people okay with Durham leaving(Maybe go play at Georgia with Crean)? Anderson? Anyone else other than Green and Davis? People seemed happy about Moore and Forrester. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I still need to see the algorithm for NET. Until then, it’s garbage in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think Stanford is at 75-1 odds as well. Some others are Notre Dame at 20-1, Georgia at 30-1, UConn, Minnesota and Purdue at 50-1, Arky and Louisiana Tech at 100-1. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
