    Time to start Castle

    With Clingan out we need all the length and rebounding help we can get . Plus it gives us another guy who can take his guy off the dribble which will we need now that we don't have Clingan in the low post. Plus he can throw the lob to Samson off a pick and roll

    I’m sick of being a bridesmaid

    Seriously this is crazy. Now we are out and Utah is in. When Maryland left the ACC twitter was buzzing that we were in and then Louisville swooped in. In 2011 we were suppose to go to ACC with Cuse and we were blocked by BC. How can a school with so much athletic prowess and notoriety...

    We need Samson back ASAP

    Happy with the win but not sure of the outcome if Creighton shot better from 3. We desperately need Johnson back to compliment Karaban at the 4. Karaban is wearing down a little and has to play too many minutes. Johnson will provide much needed rebounding and rim protection. Hopefully he's...

    Our Guards can't draw fouls

    This is becoming an obvious problem. Our guards have trouble going north/south and don't draw contact. Newtown is the only one who can remotely do so.

    Andre Jackson back in Starting lineup tomorrow night?

    Yes please - along with Newton, Hawkins, Karaban, and Sanogo.
  6. S

    Clearly our best lineup is:

    Newton, Hawkins, Jackson, Karaban, and Sanago. These lineup has size, length, speed, skill, and flat out talent. Of the bench - Diarra spells Newton, Joey C spells Hawkins, Alleyne spells Jackson, Johnson when healthy spells Karaban , and DC spells Sanogo . Let's go!!!

    11 for 17 (13 for 19)

    11 for 17 from 3. I can't get that stat out of my head. If you also count the 2x we fouled Teddy from 3 and he coveted all 6 free throws 13 for 19. I know we didn't come to play in first half but the Aggies haven't shot that well from beyond the arc all year. Unreal

    When Cole got trapoed at end

    We should have called a timeout. We had 1 left. The play was right in front of our bench.

    I hope Polley Starts today

    It's senior day so I would hope he would be in there for Jackson. Would like to see this lineup jump out to a big lead and then perhaps Hurley will use it during the Post season. I know Jackson does a little bit of everything but I believe Sanogo, Whaley , and Martin could certainly handle...

    We need to stop guarding the ball way past the 3 pt line

    Seriously how many times did we get beat off the dribble. You play shell man or a zone most of the game against St. Johns and we win by double digits. We were lucky St. Johns missed so many wide open looks from outside because they killed us going to the hoop. Glad Danny came out of that late...

    We are too jumpy on Defense

    So often we are in good defensive position and our guys can't help themselves and go for the ball fakes. This has happened a lot the last 4 games. It was especially evident tonight. Teams are probably seing this on film. We can't try to block every shot. And A. Sanogo looked completely...

    Cole is going to need some Help

    Gaffney struggled again today. If this team is going to make a run in March - we are going to need Hawkins to emerge. Along with Cole and Martin they seem to be the only players that can take their guy off the dribble and make a play

    Hawkins needed to be on the court

    Since our plan obviously wasn't to go for a quick 2 why was Hawkins on the bench when we were down 3? I know he is young but for our team to make a run this kid this kid is going to have to be on the court.

    Hurley Planning on an 8 man rotation

    From today's Courant: Hurley plans an eight-man rotation where all eight get starter minutes, including the first guard, first forward and maybe the first guard/wing off the bench playing significant roles. “You want to be in the top eight,” he said, “and if you don’t earn the top eight, you...

    We need to stop playing ring around the rosey outside the 3 pt line

    We are wasting way too much time on the shot clock with all these dribble hand offs and not being aggressive enough. Get into the paint or drive baseline and then dish or kick it. RJ Cole did that once at the end of the game when we drove baseline and kicked it too Martin for 3. Gaffney did...

    Good News On Bouknight

    Just read in the Courant that the surgery he had was to remove bone spurs which were caused by the injury. Goodman was right. That is a 2 to 4 week recovery. Likely closer to 4.

    Not Just Seniors Get an Extra Year?

    Was just reading that all players regardless of class get and extra year of eligibility. This is really going to complicate recruiting.

    Start Bouk, Adams, Vital, Akok and Carlton

    Neither Gaffney or AG are pure point guards anyway, We need are best players on the court. Not sure why Adams didn't play as much in the 2nd half but he is one of our best defenders and toughest players.

    Substitution that Wasn't Allowed

    Bouknight scores to put us ahead. Xavier calls timeout. Wilson was suppose to go in for Bouknight (4 fouls plus we needed Wilson to guard Jones). Was this Wilsons fault for not checking in? It really hurt us. Polley had to cover Jones and Bouknight fouled out. So frustrating

    10 for 40

    That what Vital and Gilbert shot combined. Plus numerous bad plays down the stretch. Unacceptable performance by our leaders. I will give Vital credit for rebounding though. Polley should have gotten more shots. Gilbert as the PG needs to know when a guy is hot and when he is not.

    Mac McClung

    Watching Georgetown vs St. John's. Alot of teams missed the boat on this kid. Ranked #285 recruit by 247 sports. Kids got crazy vertical , sees the floor and can get his own shot.

    2 guard lineups with Sidney at the 3

    I would love to see what our team would look like some of the time with Sidney at the 3 and Polley at the 4. Or with Polley at the 3 when Diarra comes back. Its very hard to play 3 small guards against certain teams

    OT: Davidson Half court offense

    First time I have seen Davidson play this year. There half court offense is so much fun to watch. Even though they are not that athletic they are able to score against a very athletic Kentucky Defense due to excellent execution. Would love a coach who could put in a system like that at our school

    Ollie's infatuation with Onuorah

    This has become almost a criminal offense at this point. I mean the guy played like half the game and got 1 rebound. Its like playing 4 on 5 on offense. Ollie clearly wants to get let go.

    Williams PT tonight

    Happy with the win but not happy with Williams playing time. Ridiculous he only played 4 minutes coming off the game he had. The Williams/ Diarra combo needs to be on the floor more minutes.

    Trae Young - Uconn Stat

    T. Young has more assists than our entire team this year. If that doesn't say it all about our offense
  27. S

    One Big Positive

    Give me some Cobb!!. Wish Gilbert were healthy - a starting lineup of Adams, Gilbert, Vital, Larrier (cut down those TOs and dumb shots), and Cobb would be legit. Anderson/Diarra/Carlton off bench
  28. S

    Onuorah

    Definitely should be the last resort at the 5 spot.
  29. S

    Im thankful for A. Anderson

    Can't say enough about this kid. He gets steals, gets up for rebounds, plays great defense, and is money at the free throw line. What a game tonight. Predicting he will go down as our top grad transfer
  30. S

    Carlton

    4 blocks tonight - Has good hands. A lot to like about this kid!

    Close Outs/Open "3's"

    Very happy with the win. Very likable team. Definitely need to work on a defensive close outs. We are way too "jumpy" leading to blows byes and kick outs for open "3's". Guys don't need to block and steal everything - just use athleticism to play sound defense

    We will be a top 25 team next year - Lock it in

    Im not sweating this Wilson thing. We will be starting 3 big time players next year - Jalen, Terry, and Alterique. We have another very good player in Vital. College basketball is all about guard play. IF Tremont comes even better. Go Huskies! PS. I think Cobb and Whaley are better...

    Memphis/Uconn tiebreaker

    If both Memphis and Uconn lose or both teams win (unlikely) who gets the 5th seed?

    A lot of Parity this year

    Nebraska wins at Indiana and Depaul who is a .500 team this year loses by 3 points at Villanova. Get Jalen back, hope for Hamidou, make a run in conference tourney and off to the sweet 16 we go!!!

    Our Extended Zone looked really good

    Wished we had used it more. Oregon wasn't able to get quality looks. In my opinion this is the way too go especially with our injuries.
