If Anyone Had Told Me Before the Season…

Yeah, I'd take it too, but that loss stings. However, it was a strange game because the team didn't really quit, the shots just weren't falling. I feel like Barnes's game plan was fine--the shots were there, just couldn't get anything to fall. I doubt we shoot that bad the rest of the season so better to get it out of their system now than in March.

Yeah I was hoping Dubar was going to be the last piece of starting 5 but I am starting to agree there is something missing with him becoming the player it appears he can be. Maybe Barnes can pull something out of him. And yes those injuries to Mashack and Phillips are a problem right now.

The opportunity to shine is there for him now. Negativity can destroy a player. He needs to put that behind him now & become the player he thinks he is. He could easily take the 6th man role (Gainey still has some consistency issues IMO) and play 25+ minutes. It’s up to him

…that after 15 games we’d be 14-1 and had spent 5 weeks as AP #1, I’d have taken a 30 pt loss at FL for that in a heartbeat.

I’d have asked if it could be to another team instead but I agree with the premise.

13 scholarship limit.

2 not filled equals 11.

1 defection and 1 season ending injury equals 9.

2 players have struggled to earn minutes.

Down to 7 regulars. 2 of those aren’t 100% due to injuries. That leaves 5 and players are going to have occasional off nights.

Yet this team held the #1 AP spot longer than any team before them. Actually the number of weeks at number 1 this year equals the previous total in the history of the program.

Remain calm. A night like this was in the cards. They’ll get things heading in the right direction.

Time to panic!!!!!!!

Time to panic!!!!!!!

If Cade Phillips doesn’t get a lot better quickly, I am panicking. Mashack is a dog - he’ll be effective short of an amputation. If Cade’s shoulder lingers, Dubar is about the only other option for help in the paint. But after yet another end of game stupid stunt, I’m thinking DD might not even have a room temp basketball IQ.

Yes. A panic. Sweet 16 looks like the best result ATM.
