He’s awful - which sucks, bc I used to really like him. Still, would rather Gus and JJ than Fanta and Donny any day of the week.

That’s totally over the top. Great coaches will be great against each other. Hurley has gotten the upper hand at times, Pitino at others. You don’t win back to back nattys and build programs off hope. Jeez.

And there it is… for all of you saying “we only turned it over once…” pressing isn’t about just causing turnovers. It’s disruption. After the dream season, we ran a passive 2-2-1 just to disrupt. We are a finesse team. We take our time and run our sets and have a flow. SJU inserted chaos and...

Okay 12 and 7 against PC? Or is that too past? Smith has been a disappointment as a whole. But we literally lose a few of those non-con games without him. Hell, many here said he should start instead of Silas early in the season.

1) Our lack of athleticism was exposed at virtually every spot on the floor. Really, really hope we address this in the portal and get some players who can get downhill. We draw very few fouls b/c we don't have anyone (besides Silas) who actually goes to the basket with any purpose. 2) The...

He played one minute against Illinois. He played 12 in the loss to Zona. The poster claimed we won a bunch of games with Koroma as the backup.

You beat me to it... He literally did not play a meaningful minute in any of our big wins. Man, this place just gets worse and worse.

except, of course, for his excellent games against BYU, Texas, Illinois, and Arizona.

And you could see that he was a pretty good shooter. Andre hit 36% from three (61 attempts) in his sophomore year, and some thought that was proof he could shoot it a little. He hit at 28% in his junior year on 89 attempts, which seems a bit more on-brand.

There's not. Hitting 99 threes, often under duress because our offense was gross, proves that you are a good shooter.

Pizza thread recs gone horribly wrong...

I don't think "fluke" can be attributed to 239 attempts. He even shot better than this in his freshman year. So perhaps the fluke/outlier is more this year than last.

Yes, but this is much, much different than someone saying that Furphy could/should play over a struggling Ross or previous years when Castle struggled initially, and people wanted Solo or Jaylin to get more minutes. This is beyond a "deep bench" piece. Millender and the two late additions from...

Um, yeah, but this is not some diamond in the rough, undervalued guy. Millender is legit 24 y/o. He's the same age as the Creighton guys (and Hass and Samson), people here liked to make fun of. He was a D2 player for three years and would've remained one if not for the portal era. He is what he...

For a fanbase that, for better or worse, thinks Dan Hurley is a deity of player evaluation and development, it's strange how often they question why he's not playing a D2 player based entirely off of some confidence and an open 3 in a 60 point win early in the season.
