  1. I'm not sure you're paying attention. There clearly is some doubt 😛
  2. Makes sense, but that is on the coaches then right? They got themselves into the situation in the first place. Also, seems hard to believe they didn't have a plan if everyone they wanted signed, what they would do.
  3. I agree about having a team that will bring fans for our homecoming. But have we tried having Alabama for homecoming? I bet they would bring even more fans.
  4. I agree having games on Facebook is small time. We should have our games on ABC, that would be big time. Anyone know why we don't do that?
  5. How about speeding up the game and getting rid of tv timeouts. Games take way to long. Most of the time you are sitting around waiting for anything to happen.
  6. Disagree/ This team is not what I thought it was. They are a flat bad team now that has no idea what to do on offense and are lucky to score a point a minute. The injuries are a contributor but the complete meltdown to the mess we get to watch now is on the coaches.
  7. It's pretty much unwatchable basketball at this point.
  8. Well this - “We came into the season feeling like we had way too many guys,” McCasland said. - explains a lot. I bet he wishes he had a do over on that. He therefore didn't get guys on the floor and now he is paying for it.
  9. Yeah I've definitely noticed that too. It seems like Rose might need a hug at this point rather than continued ire.
  10. I'm going to see the positives in this. We have 2 1/2 weeks to get Duffy and Woolridge back and humming, and Smart straightened out. I think it's easier to do that in the 2nd pod rather than against the top teams. If that all happens we will be dangerous in Frisco.
  11. So if he can't redshirt, and can't even get on the floor, that is not a good job or recruiting. If you think about it, this team doesn't look much different than last year before the CBI. We struggled on offense last year too. The main difference is Smart losing his confidence. But even last year, if Smart didn't score we struggled. We are better overall in the system, which is why even without Smart playing well, we have been able to win more games and stay close in others until injury took away Duffy. Once Duffy went down, it started to expose every one else. Coach has really improved the teams ability to compete. But the roster management and his inability to get Smart back on track is concerning.
  12. And another thing, I find the last write up on the FIU game where he says he had to play 4 guys the whole game because he is down to only 6 players weird. He's down to 6 players that he will play, not six players who could play.
  13. Interesting take on Smart, leaving, why'd you say that? Agree this team was never as good as the record made it out to be. Injuries have taken a huge bite out of the team, but Mohamed not playing is still a weird one. He was a Juco and he can't help at this point? Big miss. The roster management is partly just injury mess, but still as you and @BillySee58 are saying, a lot of it is also on coach.
  14. This is a little bit of an everything going wrong all at once type of scenario, so I can't get too down on them, however you aren't wrong. 🤮 It is extremely difficult offensive basketball to watch and has been all season, you really have to like defense to enjoy watching them play.
  15. On the panic about the big crowd etc., meh it was stacked with little kids and families for some promo. It's not like all of the sudden 5K extra Dentonites showed up to this game to see what the team was all about, saw we lost and decided they are never coming back. Relax. What this teams need isn't more talent, it needs a psychologist. They are way in their heads about the 3 ball. Smart is so messed up he is a liability. But there is no one else to play at the moment. Doesn't seem like some of you are paying attention, we are down to a "rotation" of 6 players. The fact we got back into this game was amazing. It's too bad because with how well this team fights and plays defense, if they had confidence in their game they'd be running this conference.
  16. The fact that @dahbeed thinks we will have an easy win makes me even more nervous about this game. WKU is the one team I fear that if they are on, even if we're on we can't beat them. Hollingsworth and Bassey are two of the matchups who scare me the most in conference.
  17. To be fair, it's not just Smart struggling on offense. The entire team seems lacking confidence in their outside shot except Gibson. The pressure of the record maybe in their heads. But to their credit, they still play great defense, hustle and win games grinding it out.
  18. I see it more like this at this point. But this isn't new in this game, he hasn't been a good player all year since he came back from injury. If I hadn't watched this team last year and say had just watched the last 6 games, I wouldn't even play Smart except to spell someone for a few minutes. Draper is also a liability but he is better defensively. Those two should not be playing much at all. However, with Duffy out one of them has too.
  19. Super confusing thread. It's like people think the NFL cares what your numbers were in college.
  20. My hot take If Ryan could finish at the rim he'd be a NBA 1st rounder. But this was his worst game maybe of the season. And the weird lip cut or whatever cost us 4 points at a critical time while he worried about it once just handing the ball away. He'll bounce back. Z. Simmons is really improving fast. I like @Censored by Laurie very poor man Duncans comparison. Mike Miller was the MVP last night I thought. Some great defense, and making big plays. La. Tech with a decent post player would be Oklahoma. Draper 3 was huge. Was glad to see him confidently take it after missing a couple of possessions before. It's fun to watch a coach who knows what he is doing. Smart was not helping and he got sat. Wise decision. And even though Gibson wasn't helping on offense he was on defense. Sat Woolridge at end after he was missing FTs. Considering we are a guard heavy team who can bury teams with threes, we basically went nearly 30 minutes without one until the Draper shot and still won. The size of the crowd for a weekday, schools on holiday break, early January game was surprisingly big. Marketing and a good record for the win. It's easy to forget we were a .500 team last year that tanked at the end of the season.
  21. Anderson scares me most about our matchup with you guys.
