  1. Disu needs to have his minutes cut. The guy can't do anything right now.
  2. Great call by Catdaddy because I simply didn't see it. Febres hadn't hit a shot all year.
  3. The last two players I've criticized in this thread were Carr and Febres. The next game they had the best game of the season. Somebody tell me the next player to criticize.
  4. Wow, didn't expect us to rise to a 2 but I think it's warranted based on the quality wins.
  5. It's both but we've improved significantly going from Haig to Allen IMO. So Allen has to be doing something right. I'm never worried about pitching with Pierce though. He's had legit pitching everywhere he's been dating back to when he was the pitching coach at Rice.
  6. I don't know if this is true but somebody once told me that Galindo had an account on Shaggybevo and that a couple people in his circle knew it. I hope it's true for the laughs. I tried to figure it out on Shaggy but I had no clue who it might be.
  7. You aren't wrong about Blanks or Galindo. The LHN broadcast for baseball is top notch in general. I really enjoyed hearing Graham and Harmon this past weekend. I don't know how LHN can see the difference in baseball and basketball to not realize changes need to be made. Texas fans are vocal about it too. Luckily, Galindo rarely calls baseball games these days.
  8. He still looks awkward at times on throws that are a bit off to 1B. I was expecting a lot worse for some reason though. I can't remember where (maybe McComas when he was at OB) that said Ivan was apparently terrible at 1B when given reps last year in practice.
  9. This was also just a bad roster for a recruit like Tyson. I.e. a bunch of experienced players. My guess is next season Beard doesn't go as portal heavy and there will be more minutes for the 3 FR coming in.
  10. I know it’s a limited sample, but I think Melendez has looked good at 1B. Probably better than expected. Whoever is developing 1B is doing a damn good job because weren’t there questions about Zubia’s ability to play 1B? He ended up being reliable at 1B.
  11. Wait he says “velo”? If so I’m ashamed. I haven’t listened to Galindo call a game in years in basketball or baseball. Normally on mute.
  12. I was looking at this the other day but barring a collapse I think this will be the highest ranked Kenpom team since '11 when they finished #5. That of course was the bogus 5 second call against Arizona year.
  13. I went back and read the last page of this thread and I missed some good times.
  14. I haven't kept up with this thread but Marquette has lost 3 of 4. Two of those against #127 NET Butler and #59 NET Creighton. Feels like a collapse is coming even with a soft schedule remaining.
  15. Bracketmatrix does a ranking each year of the most accurate bracketologists. I normally just look at the top 5 or so on this list as they're the most accurate in combination with bracketmatrix. http://www.bracketmatrix.com/rankings.html
  16. I think TCU still makes the tournament but is Jamie Dixon safe there if they don't? 1 tournament team in 6 seasons assuming TCU doesn't make the tournament this year.
  17. True and that's why his minutes were cut. Point being, highly ranked recruits do not like to sit on the bench. Somehow this has turned into a negative with Beard from certain people. Would you rather have guys like Burnett and Tyson stinking up the joint as FR or try to win games?
  18. Were't Burnett's minutes cut and that's the major reason he transferred?
  19. The entire Beard and top recruits transferring thing is also way overplayed. Top recruits transfer when they don't start or get big minutes. The two FR that were starting at Tech didn't transfer mid season. Tyson (6.9 minutes per game and 0 starts). Transferred. Burnett (17.7 minutes per game and 0 starts). Transferred. Ramsey (31.2 minutes per game and 27 starts). NBA but no signs he was going to transfer. Peavy (20.3 minutes per game and 25 starts). Left after Beard but no signs he was going to transfer. Unfortunately, most top recruits want to get 20 minutes plus and be a starter from day 1.
  20. Illinois is one of the most confusing teams in the country. Some nights they look like a final 4 team and other nights they look a CBI team. But I guess that's everyone outside of a few teams.
  21. I was looking at aggys non-conference schedule and it's just sad. If I did the math correctly, only 2/22 games in non-conference are against teams that finished top 75 in RPI last year. They do this in every sport and will the talk shit about beating these shit teams. It blows my mind.
  22. I always thought Buzz was overrated but I'm even surprised he's failing this spectacularly at aggy. There's a very real chance he doesn't have a top 75 team in the first 3 years (per NET).
  23. It's sounding like Huggins is going to potentially shake up a lot of things for this Texas game. After the Iowa State game he kind of insinuated players are going to get benched so guess we will find out.
  24. It looked like last night Beard had a new wrinkle for Carr where they would set a double screen and let him come off the ball in the midrange. Carr scored 2 or 3 times off that same play on a bank shot. I don't think I've seen that all season but Texas should do more of that. Carr isn't a great creator but I think he can still score if put in the right situation.
