Recruiting Football Talk VII

On the bright side.....DK made 2 free throws in a row

This is what happens when you don't have any legit big guys. We got dominated in the post. Plain and simple. All of our losses are to physical teams with legit Bigs. Teams that win it in March have exactly that. We'll see what happens.

Actually a really good point, Aidoo hasn’t developed enough yet

Live by 3 and die by the 3..... I called that for this team a long time ago.

You also said they couldn’t win the conference a long time ago.

I hope you’re wrong about this too (but I’m concerned you’re right about this one).

 

[PKT_VOL]

There's no evidence extra rest helps teams in the tourney

Our only hope is that our teams aren't us. They don't play with the defensive intensity that we do during the regular season.

If I was Barnes, I wouldn't let this team have any physical exertion for most of the time between now and the start of March. Focus on resting our legs.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

After that performance, I'm just not interested in watching more basketball today.




Welp......

I will admit, I gave up on them too soon, but you have to admit the backend of the schedule looked strong after the MSST loss and made it look almost impossible.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Creighton is honestly a better MSST

Who cares? This team has nothing to prove SEC wise

 

[Govolsman98]

Creighton is honestly a better MSST

I don't think we'll need to worry about facing Creighton

Creighton would eat our lunch. Our bigs stink.

I’ll admit that it’s easy to vacillate between hope and despair with Rick Barnes teams.

I’m in despair mode.

 

[DD4ME]

Well that pretty much seals it. Very disappointing.

Yall gotta get panties out of a wad.... We arent losing in the first round.

I've also noticed this. Aidoo has gotten kinda punked in all our losses except KY. Dickinson - Kansas, Edey - Purdue, Bacot - UNC then State x2, TAMU, and USC all have super physical play in the paint and pushed him around a bit. He's a great player but when he's not playing with physical purpose and "I'm taking what I want" attitude it's hard for us. I think he's arguably the biggest key to our success going forward. Dalton is going to get his, but it might be more important if Aidoo is giving us 15-20pts and 10reb.

It can be. We look both unbeatable and unbearable at times.

We fall to 6th?

*We should be in the west with UNC. At the worst, we are the 5th best team

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Look at this draw..... It wouldnt be terrible. Although Mi St has the better coach.

Another year of development will do wonders

The 7-10 game has me concerned. It’ll be nice if we get a favorable draw there.

I'd take Creighton over the other 3's. That Bama vs Houston S16 matchup is going to be must-watch basketball.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If we get Mich St as a 10, as ESPN predicts that concerns me. Clemson doesnt scare me much, theyve got a decent big and thats pretty much it.

Only silver lining I can find from today…last time we got our butts handed to us by an inferior opponent, we went on to win the next 7, including 3 in a row against ranked opponents. We only need 6 in a row. Lets hope this will be a swift kick in the butt that we need.
