And with Thatch playing defense on their best shooter might have.  And SLU would of been even bullier ...... 🏀

Hindsight’s 20/20 but given what Gibson gave us verses how thatch could have defended, no way we lose

 Can you imagine this team by the end of the year once everything is clicking. 

I'm trying to imagine it.  We are already better by now than I thought we might become by February: we are ahead of schedule; and our best ball by far is ahead of us...

PS: can someone tell what is up with Thatch?  I'm no longer able to read through all the threads and have been out of touch with various contacts etc.  Is he sick or what?

No one knows.

All we know is that Thatch's chronic cramping is health-related and there isn't an immediate fix.  Coach Ford hasn't mentioned the possibility of a redshirt but it just so happens that playing 30% or less of the schedule qualifies a player for a medical redshirt.  Thatch has already played six games.  If he plays a couple more games, he wouldn't be eligible for a redshirt.

Gotta think that if he isn’t back by mid-to-end of January, then it’s a real possibility.

This morning on KMOX Coach said Thatch is not practicing but also said he is say to day. He said they want to get him right. He did not elaborate on the medical issue. 

I assume day to day meant practicing. Thatch missed the High Point game, played 9 and 6 minutes against Belmont and BC, and has missed the next three.  If he hasn't been practicing, it will take some time for him to get back into game shape once he does commence practicing.


In case you missed it Coach also said he had to take French out yesterday with 4 min to go due to injury. He is 'sore', day to day, but not seriously injured.

Spoon was the best coach I have ever seen at mixing in and reloading large amounts of new players, getting them to gel, mold  and/or buy into his schemes and having almost immediate success - though the coaching job being done by Coach Ford may be as good or better.

First and foremost, I just want Fred to get healthy. Take however much time you need to get healthy and don’t worry about basketball. 

Second, as to basketball, you make a great point. Heck, KC is practicing and traveling but obviously isn’t yet game fit.  Based on your point and the unknown prognosis, I just don’t think we’ll see Fred again this year.

-this is not a defense of Pearl, not at all, but his quote in Stu's article about playing us at our place, even though it is basically a 2 for 1 over 4 seasons, rings true and most of the other coaches in America aren't coming to our gym

-I wish it didn't have to be a 2 for 1 to get this P5 game but CFord wanted to do it and perhaps it helped or got us into Orlando next season

Are you saying French not playing at the end might not have been just poor coaching?
