slufanskip Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 12 hours ago, JMM28 said: I mean it isn't going to happen, but I'll debate it. St Louis is one of the top front-running towns in the country. I doubt the majority of folks in the building can rattle off the starting 5 from memory, let alone know who would be coming back the following year. A Final 4 run would also allow the opportunity to reload with hypothetically better talent. The team would still be picked top of conference, be a preseason top 25 team, etc. Almost ever town is a front running town. With very, very few exceptions teams that do well draw bigger crowds. St. Louis is no more a front running town than any other. bauman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid oughta be special. I’m really excited to see him play. Hopefully he can get acclimated sooner than Perkins did. I think perk’s knee will take a little longer than everyone expects so there may be more minutes to be had earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 UMass will be a 'darkhorse' in the A10. The main question will be Coach Martin's ability to get his players to gel as a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they have to play Florida St., Siena, Stanford, and Ole Miss at the same time, I don’t know if they have the depth for that.

Until Perkins starts playing and shows that he can consistently play at the expected level, he has to be considered as a bit of a question mark. The current issue with the ankle is probably, in my opinion, not a significant problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 9 hours ago, majerus mojo said: Sounds like a rock solid first 3 off the bench That's my take. It's just coach speak. He's just keeping the starters motivated. Majerus used to do stuff like that. Every incoming recruit including John Manning was going to make an immediate impact. Each new guard coming in was better than Kwamain, etc. SShoe likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 A lot of tidbits today. Im fine with not getting first(actually happy because of the curse) but 22 to 7....c'mon Is coach saying Pickett gets the nod, neither? interesting, but might be just trying to hype of Forrester This type of comment really has me thinking THJ plays a decent amount of minutes. THJ is a 40% 3 point shooter, high% around the rim, and plays better defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimerson has gotten big minutes since he was a freshman and I still wouldn’t call him a plus defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so than Williams or Andre. I think giving effort goes along way, Williams looked like he just didn't care to guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
