He looked like an an orthodontist last night. I was certain he was going to knock his jaw bone back into its track

Jank said post game he actually thought it was our BEST win of the season due to us not playing terribly well, coming out tight, the Cincy game looming, etc. All that and STILL won by 16 on the road vs. a Top 80 RPI team...

Happy hour...we gone.

If we were at the same bar I'd have your next one Hoop.

Peace out....except for Bearcats.

Beat Cincy.

Considering your picture, I see what you did there.

Totally agree. Ponies were sloppy and lethargic and won going away on the road. In that context, Temple fans should be very impressed.

Shake is better than nic. And I say that with all due respect. Go back and look at games we lost last several years in last few seconds. Most with shots right over nic. What he gave us he gave away on the other end.

Shake averages out better net/net.

Uh add up the wins and losses for me again. Your memory doesn't serve you well my mustang friend. He was actually a physical solid defender. Most games we lost that counted for anything were teams that went off on 3 point shooting sprees. The UCLA game was a fluke bomb. Make your case without mythical points. Those shooting sprees were spread all over the court.

Nic was awesome and I'd take him any day. But he was average on defense...

You can argue Nic and defense all day long but what made him special was his clutch play and leadership. We will see who has it on this team (hopefully) when we get to March.

Those aren't mythical. Some of you are blind to the fact he was a defensive liability. Also, until his senior season, he lost tons of one on one match ups vs opposing PGs. Kevin Pangos destroyed him when Gonzaga ate us. James Blackmon and Yogi easily matched him when we played Indiana etc. He made Farad Cobb all world for Cincy. Don't get me wrong, love the kid, but if 5'9, you need next level athleticism to compensate or you're going to be a liability somewhere on the court at this level. Shake is almost a full foot taller, it matters

Clutch like that time at UCLA he missed two chippies to win? Don't get me wrong, he helped bring us back and Nic was a hoss, but those were gimmes for a kid of his skill set. Those were as bad as the mythical goal tend.
