The JJ Murray experiment should be over.  He is not that good.   I surprised Jackson did not play tonight.   I hated that Mac called off the wolves and we started taking shots with no time on the clock and would take crappy shots in the second half.   If you are going to bring in cupcakes for games then you need to play full speed in both periods.

I felt Mac took his foot off the gas in the second half and the team was playing a game that is not in flow.

Free throws and half court press were an issue in the game-the ghost of Benford.

Yep! Still confused on how and why Murray is even touching the floor. Weird season and short season. 
 

I am hoping the ncaa allows all seniors another year if eligibility while allowing the overage of scholarships for the year.

Best players play.... that is why Murray is playing.

If you want more playing time, be better in practice.  Be so good that the coach doesn't even think about you not being in the game.  Playing time is not guaranteed.  The best athelete is not always the best player.

There is a reason behind this.  Same with Wise.  If you want to see the floor, earn it.

And none of us are at practice every day to see what the coach sees.

He’s shooting 33% from the field, at 30% from three. Since that first game it has been ugly. He is 2/8 since that first game in 64 minutes of action. 6 points in 64 minutes is a liability on offense. Harsh, but that’s the truth. He has the 2nd worst advanced offensive ratings on the team and 3rd worst overall despite playing pretty well defensively.

Murray might be earning time in the eyes of Mccasland, but so did Jahmiah Simmons for so long. Can he be effective in the floor against CUSA play? That’s what matters in the end.

This isn't something where practice always determines your PT.  A coach is allowed to look at the bigger picture.  If they are consistently folding in-game, then a change should be considered.

I'm not interested in offering schollies to practice MVPs.  I want people who produce conference titles.

I wonder how much the upcoming conference schedule of back-to-back games has to do with this and the playing time for everyone.  Also I think I heard on the broadcast that Wise was still recovering from a knee injury that occurred the end of last season and other health issues, so maybe that explains his limited playing time and being brought back slowly.  Not sure of Jackson's situation.  I seem to remember that Robinson and Jackson played the previous game, but I might be wrong on that.

Will be interested in seeing if playing time changes as the conference opener comes closer.  I think our depth will be extremely important this year with the conference schedule and the Covid-19 situation.  Here's hoping we don't have the same problem at UH has!

I wish they would just redshirt  a few guys. NCAA needs to allow players to play in 1/3 of the games in a year and still be able to red shirt. Wise has pretty much wasted now two years and if these dentists come back next year that’s another one.

I haven’t seen anything official on this. So Hamlet, Reese, Bell, and Simmons will be back next year?

Have you tried looking? I posted it back in here when it was announced. They can come back if they want. Can’t say for sure if they will.

I don’t see why they wouldn’t however this also affects young guys like wise and Jackson... they need to change the redshirt policy in basketball permanently. 
There is zero reason why any of our seniors would not come back.

Hey @BillySee58, I haven't seen anything on the board about the NCAA extending eligibility.  I find that so strange.  Have you heard anything?  If you have, maybe we should post something about it.

Board seems awfully quiet about this.  Seems like, with COVID, it should be considered.

Lmao I appreciate you fighting the good fight on this topic in the football thread

How does this affect the young guys?

Hamlet and Reese stay which affects the minutes Wise will receive. Also Wise doesn’t get the extra year (it’s only upper class man correct?) he also has already played in games and basketball doesn’t operate like football which allows 4 games to be played while the redshirt is still available. It’s another watered year for young guys. They need to change the red shirt rule so they can still play 8-10 games and have another year of eligibility.

Everyone gets an extra year. Remember from the article I posted for you? No one needs a redshirt this year. Their eligibilities are all frozen.

Wise and Jackson need to worry about earning more playing time before they worry about Hamlet and Reese. I don’t think either have shown to be CUSA level rotation players to this point, and Mccasland’s rotation seem to agree.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.
