Message: [QUOTE="willie99, post: 2463167, member: 192"] [B]"What we thought:[/B] This Huskies team would be better now that [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/3138209/terry-larrier']Terry Larrier[/URL]and [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4066441/alterique-gilbert']Alterique Gilbert[/URL] are back after missing most of last season. Gilbert is hurt again, but Kevin Ollie's team struggled even with everyone at full strength, losing 102-67 to Arkansas in its final game of the PK80 in Portland and falling to Syracuse at Madison Square Garden." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That's a lie, they were playing better with AG in the lineup, and the author compounds his lie by making it appear Gilbert played against AR & Cuse. So even if you disagree with my subjective position that they were playing better with AG, there is no debate that he's factually inaccurate about Gilbert playing against AR and Cuse. How can a man who's paid to write about CBB be so factually inaccurate? Is it done intentionally? As for the rest of the season, without AG he may be right, but let's play the games anyway. One thing about conventional wisdom, it's rarely wise. [/QUOTE]
