  1. Gonna suck talking about Curcic in this thread the next three years. Guy has looked like a player every time he’s seen the floor, yet inexplicably cannot get any minutes on our apparently stacked roster.
  2. He takes the blame because he’s willing to try anything to save his job at this point. When have we ever seen have any sort of meaningful self reflection before this?
  3. I didn’t listen for a second but I can still summarize: We will be a different team when Sincere comes back. Refs didn’t help us, we can’t play 8 on 5. I can’t make free throws for the guys, they’d shoot it at 80% in practice. Any negative fans are the reason this program sucks.
  4. Funniest/Saddest thing of the night was the 50-something year old bald guys a few rows behind us chirping families for leaving with 50 seconds left down 10. You’re the type that want nothing more for this program than a 4500 average attendance so there are no lines for your golf cart rides from the garage and urinals. Extend Ford!
  5. Shot clock violations out of two consecutive timeouts is all you need to know about Travis Ford.
  6. I’ll take it over 8pm though how many 7pm arrivals will we have tonight that are shocked to see the game in the second half?
  7. Play Djordje. What do we have to lose?
  8. New strategy: you can’t fall short of expectations if expectations are at an all time low.
  9. Did they ever beat a ranked team? Seriously asking- that was before my time
  10. Only thing that’s gonna fix this program, unfortunately. Makes sense for most topics to circle back to it.
  11. What is wrong with this program and guys not being able to stay healthy? I don’t remember guys ever missing games under Majerus/Crews. I’m sure it happened, but not to this extent for sure. Already we’ve had Parker, Meadows, Hughes, Thames either missing time or seriously limited. Is it a strength and conditioning problem? Do we have more diagnostic capability? Or are players less willing to play through small injuries? 18-23 year olds should not be getting injured this often.
  12. Even in many of our wins we are outscored in the second half. One of the bigger indictments on Ford’s coaching for sure. Heck, we only outscored Lincoln by 4 in the second half. Good coaches make halftime adjustments, our coach does… well, does anyone know what our coach does?
  13. Absolutely disgraceful second half. What we’ve come to expect though. Ford out yesterday please.
  14. Narrator: “They could not string together two consecutive good halves”
  15. I don’t know where Kenpom, etc currently have them, but the eye test says that was a 100-130 team. Bad shooting, not particularly athletic or good defensively. I agree it was a good half, especially by our standards. We’ve played a lot of good first halves in the last 7 years. Let’s string together two consecutive good ones.
  16. NC State is NOT good, but then again, neither was Methdale, so we have quantifiable improvement! We will take it
  17. Did I miss a rule change where a defensive tip into the backcourt is now a violation?
  18. Dalger drops offensive rebound, fouls guy immediately for the And 1. Get him out of there!
  19. You really do have nothing better to do *blue font*
  20. I don’t agree that player development is meaningless. Obviously a team’s roster can change massively year to year, but you still need to develop some players, unless you’re getting absolute studs in the transfer portal routinely… which we are clearly not. Has there been even one player from SLU that “transferred up”? The only two that were even rumored to do so were Yuri and Gibson, and we managed to keep them. Id say develop the players, and if they’re good you fight to keep them. So far we are 2/2 in that regard. I wouldn’t be afraid to “showcase his skills” out of fear of him transferring.
  21. Well he’s been asked to bring up the ball which isn’t really his game. Don’t know if I’ve seen enough to comment on his court vision. Wheat I have seen is a player who works hard and doesn’t look out of place, and seems to have potential as a multi level scorer. Probably our Jimerson heir- would be a shame to lose him because we didn’t play him in a lost season.
  22. You’re joking right? He has 5 assists TOTAL in the other 11 games he’s played, while averaging 26+ minutes. I know it’s the cool thing right now on this board to tell other people how wrong they are, but I’m not wrong on this one. I have never seen a player in a Billiken uniform pass less, and we just witnessed the Okoro years.
  23. I also think we are going to regret not playing Curcic more. I get that minutes are limited, but that kid can play. I guess we were out of other options, but pretty crazy to put him in for the first time in a close game with 45 seconds or whatever left.
