Not sure what was hyperbole here.
You're missing the obvious part that Reibe didn't play well and Tarris was a returning player with previous experience.
Solo Ball should be our point guard because he had the most assists in Europe when UConn was beating teams by 100.
I have zero concern with Solo, his overall game has improved. We all already know he shoots the hell out of it.
The hyperbole was the repeated NBA talk and Ross starting over Mullins all offseason.
Ah so that's why they didn't post the last 10 minutes online otherwise I would have posted the replay. Did they bump the game over to FS1?
Last post in this thread for me.
Cmon it is just starting to get fun don’t stop now. You just got it going and it is more than 24 hours from the Arizona game.
Bottom line here is the POV is more latching onto an idea, beating the drum till it irritates people, then marching a victory parade if a sign of confirmation presents. It really is so much about being right, rather than good healthy dialogue.
Are we still in 5th grade here? That reply ranks up with “I know you are but what Am I?”
Well this is it - I think many of us like to ask questions around why the staff makes certain decisions, but I for one will always defer to them knowing a LOT more than I do, being in practices, understanding chemistry intimately. We can sit on a message board and play arm chair QB for fun all day, but no one here has even an a small % of the knowledge Hurley does. The guy has a HOF coach as a dad, has an all time collegiate brother, has played/coached his entire life (successfully). So if anyone thinks they know more than he does, there is some sort of weird God complex going on.
Is that right
Yes sir - I’ll question stuff but never think I know enough to be “right” about it.
I have no desire to relitigate the Samson Johnson starter saga, but that did happen
Ah, SJ - well, that was one of my stronger questionings.
Like I said, this has been discussed enough, but the head coach personally assuring specific fans that he knows what he's doing doesn't seem a likely outcome to me.
I get it. But hear me out. If we had kept on playing at the 13 minute mark instead of milking the clock, I contend the lead would have, at minimum, stayed at 18-20. But of course we didn't. And then we began to foul on every defensive possession, which helped them narrow the lead initially. I do know that they are a tough team. And AJ is a player. But in my opinion this game was a double digit game.
Bad gameplan - we slowed it down, they then pressed to counter, it threw us for a loop, walked us right into a very different pace that played into what they wanted to do and us out of. Not sure why Hurley plays not to lose at that point. We see it flop time and time again.
Can anyone explain to me why we stopped feeding Tarris in the 2nd half? BYU had no answer for him.
