  1. this second half hasn't been our best half of the season, but i know i'm not the only one who is watching this team and thinking, "we can make a run." guard play, experience, (experienced guards for that matter), athleticism, FT shooting, senior role players- oh, and a group of guys who are on an absolute mission. this team has the makeup of a final four team. they really do. 

    Teams with athleticism and offensive skill inside…have been bad matchups for us. Other than that though, yeah i like this squad’s chances against just about errybody!!!
  2. If the dude leads the team to Sweet16 or Final4 run, he should be given a contract offer commiserate with a sweet16 or final4 coach. Crazy take? Why?
    I mean its new landscape in college bball. Sounds like sustainability from a recruiting perspective is most folks concern. But its not McD’s AAs he’d need to be successful. it’s attracting the top portal talent on a yr 2 yr basis. And I’d imagine with what he’d have to offer, he’d keep that type of player coming!

  3. That felt like tournament-level type of a comeback win. Take a team’s best shot in the first half, make adjustments and punch their ass in the mouth coming out the half…then absorb their desperation down the stretch to secure the Dub! Impressive in a number of ways. Definitely something they can draw from come March (not to mention, this 2-day turnaround can be used as prep as well)

  4. x/post paraphrasing from the game thread, Terry's decision to make Carr the primary ball handler for the final two minutes was a bad one. either Hunter or Rice has got to be the one to bring up the ball and initiate the offense in those situations.

    I mean pretty obvious and predictable at this point, right? We all know that in those situations he ain’t runnin offense (no matter the matchups on the floor or the kind of game he’s having). He’s gonna dribble the air out the ball so he can take the shot. I blame the coaches for not getting the damn ball out of his hands. And Not just Terry. Beard would do the shit too. Too many other experienced players to just rely on that shit now

  5. Biggest weakness imo is ball security/TO’s. PG play effects that directly. He’s the best PG option at the price point some others are going to be after as well...as long as he accepts and plays the same role he’s currently in. Would take ball out of KPJ’s hands altogether and allow Jalen to work off the ball exclusively. And I understand its about developing young talent, but tough for that talent to really progress when arguably your offense’s best passer is a 2nd year post player, sengun!

  6. Yeah, when they first got in the car and she started confronting him I was thinking maybe you should've done this before you'd gotten in. That whole series of scenes involving Tanya and Portia were making me squirm -- so fucking tense. Methodical to the point of almost being slow but ever-so-slightly ramping up the tension until the shootout and ensuing header over the rail. (Did the captain bail off the boat too? The scene of the remaining surviving "gay" sprinting and jumping off the back of the boat was hysterical.
    Yes, Daphne's scene where Ethan told her he thought something happened with Cam and Ethan was great. She got this weird look across her face and then she looked away, kind of shook her head and moved on to invite Ethan to come with her on their possible rendezvous. And then the dinner where they acted like nothing was amiss was just perfect. I loved everything about this season.

    I felt guilty laughing at how the guy was running to get off the boat…had me in stitches!!!

    The series of reactions by Daphne there was amazing acting. Just the range of emotions displayed on her face in such short period of time. Do folks like that really exist?

  7. I wish we had a true road test before we start conference play, I guess this neutral site will be as close as we get to one.

    Yep, a little concerning. Gonna have to cross that bridge when it comes. But most of this group knows what conference road games are about!
    Those home non-conf wins against ranked opponents still look good on a resume when seeding time comes around though!
  8. Creighton with 30 TOs in the last 2 games against Tech and Arkansas. Hound their guards and run, they are not a deep team yet. Their starting 5 is really good, but their depth is inexperienced and drop-off is pretty big.

    Yeah if you trap Nemhard and get the ball out of his hands. Think i heard them mention tonight he has 30 something assists on the season with only 5 TOs. Arkie had Black on him and didn’t seem to give him much trouble getting them in their sets
