[RednBlue11]

it would be nice to be 500+ ....PLEASE!?!?!?!?

bump...this guy's predictions look pretty good right now (except for missing on UAB).

The way these guys are playing right now, that .500 finish is certainly within their reach

I hate to say this, but this season rests on Papa Dia and playing small. Seriously, this roster begs for a 1-in 4-out type offense. Very solid guards in McCoy/Haynes/Clinkscales/Williams, but nothing other then Dia upfront. Faye is softer then Charmin & floats, and Nyakundi is a face-up 4, not a banger.

We need to push the tempo this year, and jack up open looks. Don't eat the clock, don't pass around the perimeter w/no hope of going inside etc. RUN

PonyDoh?...this was your suggestion?......

Yea, I still think the current personnel is more suited to an uptempo game when looking at individual skill sets, but for whatever reason, they just flail when playing that way as a team. Happy to be very wrong, and glad to have the current identity. Beyond that, it's been a wild year w/McCoy, no Nyakundi early, Faye being in and out etc. FWIW, I've always thought the proper model long-term was more in line w/a Butler/Gonzaga etc etc. Fits the mold of the school. Like most, I didn't understand the slowdown philosophy w/this squad, until I saw it work..lol
