"But your dream of having some stud coach come in here and turn this into a consistent to 20 team is just that, a dream. " This was literally in the post I was replying to. Also have seen many argue in the past that financially this was our only option because the U is cheap, or "no one else"...

How are so many guys getting concussions? Did Wilson blackout and think he was playing football at practice? Just imagining a scenario where he went into a hulk like rage and JOJ/Carrington heroically stepped in, but received a concussion in the process.

He always fails to mention Clem's credentials prior to taking the Gopher job. He was already very accomplished in the world of basketball and proven he can win leading a smaller school. Apples to oranges comparing to Ben.

It seems people want to assume that we hired Ben because he was legitimately the best candidate available and we could not have done any better. There is no way this was true at the time. He was an assistant on a staff where the head coach was fired before taking this job. I don't know if that...

We're all rooting for you!

Is it possible to bring in someone to help with development AND be playable for 5-10 minutes? Some seem to think it was an impossibility to find a player like that in the portal. Bringing in a one year guy to backup at center is fine. Bringing in an unplayable guy for one year to backup a...

Ride high all you want, howeda7 isn't stopping you. If anything he is just illustrating how high this board has been lately : )

The ship has officially set sail

I don't think the performance of either of those 2 are relevant considering neither are a Center. Wilson was our only backup true center, and he wasn't even playable. With Payne's health issues, and Garcia's lack of physicality, a backup center should have been high priority.

Yeah not surprising assist totals are greater at home. Usually teams shoot better on home court, therefore assist totals are naturally higher. Pretty easy explanation. If we are being more generous at home, I can't imagine it would be greater than 10 additional assists total for an entire season.

Certainly much to ponder in Dinkytown. Let's hope Ben makes this easy and strings together some victories to close out the year.

They usually switch a lot on defense anyway, so I feel like they haven't been terrible when running doubles to the post this year. As you said though, they don't really try this often even when we're getting torched. I guess that is one philosophy, but if you are giving room in the paint, you...

At request of melon twister, this is from page 1 of 21 - didn't bother to go further

Do we really need to revisit the Jack Wilson thread? There were MANY who defended that signing wholeheartedly. Making an argument that "he will be good in practice" is part of the problem. We need guys who can PLAY ON THE COURT. We had no answer for Ware last night especially with Payne having...

My thing with JOJ's usage is that Ben pretty much started him for a year and a half, then the way he played suddenly became such a problem he can't even see the floor? Granted he has not been good the last couple of times he has played, but even when he was playing well he seemed to get his...

I was only trying to alleviate the confusion you were having, not trying to argue if you were right or wrong. My thoughts on the non conference were "weak AF", it appeared to be a signal the coach didn't believe in himself or the team. Now a potential winning conference record won't even be...

Luck only matters to mediocre programs and coaches, or are you alleging that at this level literally ONLY luck separates teams each year?

Making an argument that the schedule was deliberately bad IS the excuse. I hope that helps.

"definitely a possibility" is a reassuring answer lol

Guys were shell shocked playing in Bloomington, the crowd probably had more effect than the IU defense. We did not come to play that game. We also were not starting Payne at that time either so maybe our solidified rotation will fare better now than it did previously.
