I really like Duffy. I think the biggest goal with Duffy is getting him healthy by year-end so he can spend this offseason training and not rehabbing like last offseason. He isn't as explosive as he was in his JUCO highlights. He was catching alley-oops. But we need his shooting ability.
Honestly, if Duffy were healthy I would try starting him right now, and either have Lawson come off the bench or put him at 4 like we had at the beginning of the year and have Temara come off the bench. Offensive needs a kick starter, and Woolridge would be best served being surrounded by good shooters, which Smart is really the only one right now.
Temara is 11-31 (35%) from the field and 4-19 (21%) over the last six games.
I think 3 of our 4 best shooters have been hurt this year. Duffy, Gibson, and Tikhonenko should really help us stretch the floor next year when they're all healthy, along with Smart. Having that many of your shooters out, along with Lawson and Temara struggling, has really hurt this offense. Good to see Lawson coming on a bit now.
He has been battling that hip injury for awhile and has pretty much been a game time decision the past 3 games.
If you start Duffy then you move Smart to the 3 and that faces him up with some longer guys. Something he has struggled with this year.
Not knocking your idea, because I like shooters surrounding Woolridge. I just think its a tough sell to put Smart at 3. Situational yes, I could see that. Starting not so much.

Men's team found a way to win, at this point in the season, that's about all I'm concerned with. Find a way to win and keep getting better. We won with Smart being a non factor until 2 minutes left when he hits 4 FTs. If we had 1/2 more legit scoring threats we'd be tough to beat. I LOVE Zachary Simmons! That kid is going to be special for us.
I know now this is unpopular opinion but, Lawson SO, Woolridge SO, Simmons Freshman, Tikhoneko RS, Smart SO, team has make up to be special next year. Need Lawson and Woolridge to find a way to become 70 % FT shooters. Need to bring in a dude to fill Tamara shoes and we should be rocking and rolling. I'm hoping with new dining hall, and nutritionist (hopefully all our athletes have access to them). We should be able to put solid weight on every kid in the program.
I'll take plenty of down votes with this, but I don't think Simmons will be special. He may develop into a good starter, but he wont be an all conf type of player. Right now I prefer to Tope to be the starter and Zach to come off the bench. They both give you about the same production per 40 mins. Tope is a little bit more aggressive, stronger, and actually can play with his back to the basket. Im not saying that Zach isnt good or wont be good. I just feel he has a lot to work on to begin to sniff special.

One great shooter can make such a huge difference in basketball. Benford never had one honestly. Even the announcers today were remarking how good this kid is. If we can pair him and Woolridge up with some size down low and on the glass it could be a really special team.
Even if Benford had a great shooter he wouldnt know how to use him.

Not sure I would refer to Temara as a role player. He leads the team in rebounds and is third in scoring.
So maybe significant contributor instead? This team goes as Smart, Woolridge & Lawson go.

Just Bc HP is white doesn’t mean they aren’t loaded too. Those guys are good.
You really think it’s a white thing? Those of saying Manvel is loaded is bc of the amount of guys they have that will play FBS or FCS level football.
HP had no where near the talent that Manvel had. Pretty much anyone following txfb would tell you that

You disagree? What are the pass attempts, like 55 to 20?
Yeah I disagree. You say it’s not even close. I don’t know how you could say that. That an absurd statement. I’m not knocking Martin he’s got some upside but both QBs are good. Martin had the way better weapons and the better team by far. HP had no business being in that game.

The best QB on the field tonight ain't wearing white and it's not even CLOSE. My goodness I'm fired up.... we have a quarter left and Martin is over 400 yards and 5 TDs.... but sure, Jerry's grandson has been sacked 10 times, so cool. #GMG
Lol.

I think peole are making a mistake by painting this as a battle between a stacked Manvel team and a Highland Park squad being "carried" by Jones. His receivers are no scrubs.
Yeah they are no scrubs, but they aren’t even close to what Manvel has. HP’s best WR is going to play lacrosse.

Manvels speed is just too much for HP. They’ve probably had 7 plays of over 60yds. Amazing
Manvel has one of the greatest teams I’ve ever seen. The amount of talent they have is unbelievable. I’m very surprised Jerry’s grandson has kept it this close. Manvel should be up by more than 20

I don't care who you have at WR, you gotta make the throws.
I think no less of Joe Montana just because Jerry Rice was doing the catching (yes, I know Martin isn't Montana).
You’re right no matter how open guys are you still have to get em the ball. Crazy how many more yards he’d have if not for some drops and some throws where he wasn’t even in the same zip code. Not sure how you miss these guys

The thing is, no one really knows if they are a really good team yet. They had a pretty bad season last year, including a loss to GM's Arky State team. This year while they are 8-1, all their games except Syracuse have been cupcakes. We will be their most challenging "cupcake game" by far. I expect this one to be competitive to the end.
Will be nice to have Duffy back

Thanks! Too bad it came so late. Could've really used him this year being so short-handed. Adding him, Gibson, and J Simmons plus whoever we add to fill Temara's spot is gonna make us really dangerous.
Yeah they are shorthanded, but I guess the view here is the bigger picture. They could use the outside shooting help. They must feel good with what they have, and want to develop him. They have a solid rotation right now. Tope is finally getting adjusted and providing production. Duffy is set to return tonight. They've got a nice team with good chemistry.

Well I thought it would be lower scoring but as the asshole @Andrew was so nice to point out to me I was wrong. I’m glad he felt the need to send me a message to tell me. You win dude.

Which were both good wins because of the names they beat. Not very good years for either team.
The difference in this one was it’s been building. Game on game, moment on moment. It’s not some random upset. It was going to happen as this team is just getting better

Duffy is going to try to go for this game, he just started practicing again. Georgetown is looking more likely.

Mean Green will have to win a road game if they want to head to conference play with a winning record. Let's see if we get it done Saturday.
Instant analysis: It will be tough. They are a good defensive team that likes to play slow. We are very similar in styles. I think the winner of this game may very well have a score in the 50's.

Somebody needs to get out of here with their poor attitude. Two people want to trash the players and the team... take that crap to the SMU boards or somewhere where miserable people hang out. It’s disgusting and embarrassing that people log on here just to trash the players like that.
Who is bashing players?

NT is developing a pretty good first five Obviously, no bench now; but hope that will improve soon.
I can't believe how good Temara is playing this year. Lawson and Woolridge, I think are going to get a lot better with more time in this system. Simmons may be the best true freshman post, I have seen at NT. What I really like about his game, is that he is not outside trying hit threes. Smart won the game for NT tonight. Two points I think in the first half, ends with 22 including absolutely clutch free throws.
Indiana State's record is not that good, but this was a solid win. However, they were beaten by double digits by ODU.
If Simmons took an outside shot I’d imagine he’d be running laps during the game. Simmons showed some mental toughness. He wiffed on a big block out down the stretch but made up for it with the game sealing block
