Where are those critics of Edwards? Guy jumps from JUCO to AAC and drops another 30 piece
What have you read as significant criticism from of Edwards?

I don't question his effort, but like Stone, we don't need a player that the opponent will basically ignore knowing they aren't shooting. Something like 6-8 points would be enough considering the minutes he plays.
these two things are not the same. a scoreless Walker is still a major contributor...he slashes, he rebounds, he play-makes...he's just not a scorer. no one is ignoring Walker in the flow of the offense, maybe just no need for a hard close-out if he's taking a late clock 3.
Stone isn't right now. those 40 boards in the last 5 games...Stone has 42 for the season. he get's left b/c he's clearly lacking confidence. you know what I would love? a Stone 0-7 shooting performance...at least I'd know he didn't just play hot potato after he missed his first. him passing on open shots or not making a positive basketball play hurt an already pretty stagnant offense. The Tulsa game was encouraging...I gave a big yell when he hit that little rock-back pull up three.
if the team were winning these games, this wouldn't even be a discussion. Walker has a better line than senior year JJ Murray while offering similar intangibles (not as great an on-ball defender, but a far better ball-handler and rebounder) and no one was saying "man, I wish JJ would take some of the shots that TP and Drez are taking"- 2

Would just like to see him score a little.
he has 40 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals in our last five games...all while usually guarding a top scorer as well as being pressed into being a secondary ball handler.
and I don't know about you, but I say he works hard, too- 7

Need quality minutes from Sissoko, Stone, Moore and Walker. They combined to score 9 points and collect 9 rebounds against smu.
let's not lump Walker in with this group.

man...what happened to that walk-through entrance in the rendering at around the 1:00 mark in the video? that's a great design.

UNC, Connecticut, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Indiana --- those are Blue Bloods. Other quality programs like your Michigan States, Villanovas, Louisvilles, and UVAs - while very close don't quite hit the mark for me.
I don't know if Virginia and their one title even belong in that second-tier conversation. I mean, Okie State, San Francisco and even Cincinnati have more.
UVA is just sitting there with Holy Cross, Wyoming and the City College of New York. hardly elite company.- 5

so just to summarize, Stone works hard while the rest of the roster is only here because of their natural athleticism and genetically-inherited quick-twitch muscles.
wanna make sure my bingo card is accurately filled in- 1

Seems that way, which is unfortunate. Makes me wonder about our sports medicine/athletic training department and what's going on with their healing.
tears in groins and hammies are usually a month-minimum. anywhere.

Not sure about that. We still can’t handle full court pressure well without our true ball handlers and guys like A Scott look gassed early. Lack of depth is killing our top end potential even though we’re still playing tough every game.
bingo.
Moore seems so comfortable on the ball, but I don't think we can get away with him and Edwards on the floor at the same time, so scoring is a huge issue- 3

see...now this is the thread @rojomojo should be weighing in on. Dallas's public transportation infrastructure and urban planning is clearly lacking.

Agreed. You can’t do anything with a hammy or groin injury except be patient.

This is not to take anything away from the guys at all, but I will say that Tulsa is not a good team. I think we beat them by what I would expect. They missed a lot of good shots because of our defense, but also because they are just not that good.
maybe not...but given the slide we were on, it's still a much needed win. Memphis had lost 3 straight...and then went on to lose to Rice (and barely beat WSU). a bounce-back win at least tells us the bottom isn't completely falling out.

overall observations...
- figured Scott would have a bounce back and he was great
- I hate that we only get one year of Robert Allen
- I love Rondel Walker's stat lines...like every game. does anyone know a site that gives +/- for the college game?
- I love that Buggs got off 7 shots.
- Hodge definitely has a firm grip on the hand-break, but glad to see Moore getting some bullpen minutes
and yes...fair play to Stone. I think someone must've finally showed him tape of all the looks he immediately deferred on and said these have to go up. the first as a lil off the bounce rock back, too...that was damn pretty. if he's gonna play he can't be a passenger...tonight is all I ask of him- 12

Can't remember the exact stat they put up early in the game but he averages around 20 ppg as a redshirt freshman. Tulsa boosters are going to have to open up their wallets to keep him.

I remembered Tramiel as more like 6'8 or so. Guess I was mistaken.
I think they listed him at 6'6", 6'7"...but he was Barkely-esque

Eric Tramiel?
he was like 6'5"...he played the 4 next to Odufuwa.
these are the 5s in my time:
Abou Ousmane
Zach Simmons
Jeremy Combs (I guess, kinda...)
George Odufuwa
Keith Wooden
Jeffery Simpson

I mean, I have...I think I've been involved in all of them...but save for some spoiled kid with only a vague knowledge of the name Ralph Sampson thinking he doesn't fit at UNT, I haven't read much that feels like real "hate".
