again. what do you see that makes you think this team has improved?? That is the same chatter people were throwing out last year at this time. I see a very good freshman playing on raw talent, McCoy, and a bunch of other guys that show up about once every third game....but I definitely don't see a team that is improving.


What is funny about your post is that you ask what the team has done to improve, then point to individual players, before again stating you don't see a team that is improving.

How about the turnaround in how the TEAM starts games? The team was digging itself double digit deficits and coming out nervous/tight/flat whatever you deem it as consistently, especially on the road. Over the past 3 weeks they have corrected that problem, together as a team. And that is against a pretty strong slate of opponents (Memhpis, UAB, Houston, Tulsa) mixed in with a cupcake.

I may not know much about basketball, but I go to almost every home game, and I TIVO all of them. I cant comment on the game-coaching because I really don't know enough, but I think that the kids work hard (with the possible exception of Dia) and we are on a streak of games right now where we are hanging VERY tough for 3/4 of the game, which I see as a great improvement over the earlier parts of the season when we were falling out of contention early.

I would like to see Doh given more time.
