Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3632144, member: 3535"] 1-- Which is why I replied to you. I didn’t understand why you replied to him stating "[B]I also don't like the fact that everyone thought SC was only the freshmen or two seniors when in reality we had the best bench in WCBB." [/B]You realize that the poster was saying near-no-chance your freshmen would play like freshmen, right? You agree with that assessment? If so, what’s the point of your reply that you have others if you think near-no-chance your frosh will fail? You wouldn’t need the bench, if your frosh starters were so perfect, right? Ohh that’s right he referred ot a game in November which proves your freshmen have a near-no-chance-to-fail, right? Additionally, you also had one of the best starting teams in America. You had TWO All-Americans and a SR that went in RD 1 in the draft. They are better than your bench, right? As a result, you realize that your bench is not as good as your starters, right (More on that with your point about Dawn and your bench)? Therefore, you realize that you are not as strong if some of your freshmen starters play lousy, right? And during a tight one-and-done game, you realize that it's not "bench vs bench," right? So what it comes down to is -- if your frosh starters are lousy and you have to use your bench, your bench will be competing against the opposing team's starters. So how does that make you better in a one-and-done game (unless you are able to force pace of play.)? You still might win but you are more susceptible to lose, right? For example, if Boston or Harris or your other senior played lousy in certain combinations you are more susceptible to lose vs a very good team, right? So if it is Boston and another starting frosh -- you are more susceptible to lose than what would otherwise be, right? ***THIS GUY I"VE BEN ARGUING WITH AS AN EXAMPLE IS SAYING THAT BOSTON IS INCAPABLE OF PLAYING POORLY DUE TO FROSH JITTERS/ or just lousy. You agree with that? And your team is JUST AS STRONG vs the very good teams without her???? 3a--- The point I made is "see above." What have I said in the above four paragraphs that you feel is wrong? 3b—In regards to your comment from Dawn about the bench and “[B]on most nights[/B]” - [B]On most nights[/B] is not [B]all nights[/B], right? The other poster was saying your freshman have near little chance of not playing well. What about the other nights Dawn is referring to? You just aren’t going to count them? Ignore the implied reference of “the other nights?” [I]Do you believe[/I][B] "on most nights" equals "all nights?" [/B]If we agree it's on most but not all nights and you ended up losing then it would more-than-likely mean your freshmen didn't produce, right? And your chances of winning the NCAA Tourney wasn’t 90%, or near that, right? So isn’t it more likely that some combination of your frosh probably would be the most-likely culprits for not producing rather than you seniors, right? [/QUOTE]
