Ya you have good points, this could really go back and forth.

Oh I bet it would.

Eustachy's 11-21 team would wipe the floor with this team....

[CyCrazy]

Talent wise its not even close as for coaching Hoiberg is too fresh to make a case.

Ok, I agree we are out classed all the time, but we dont quit. That happend under Mcd all the time. So to say this is the worst team you have seen is wrong.

Tyray Pearson was a man among boys....

LOL...he was a decent player. I think time has elevated your opinion of him though.

His 18 PPG and 8 rebounds.....and what does time elevating my opinion have to do with anything?

He was the best player on a crappy team. Point is both that team and this year's team are not good. If they played 10 times, each would win 5.

Not sure what point you are trying to make?

i guess i value a great post man on the team and mediocre surroundings than a good guard with mediocre surroundings....

That team was **** too. Pearson was good but they had NO point guard.

[jsb]

You think we are better this year than last?

We are doing a hell of a lot more with less this year. Last year we had an NBA post player and a darn good guard. This year we have a excellent point guard coupled with freshman post players, a guard that is a great shooter but is somewhat injured, and a guard who is a warrior, but hasn't played at this level before. Last years team SHOULD have been better than this rag tag group we have.

These guys played well in the pre-conference season and are struggling now. Still only 4 blowouts---2 to potential top seeds, 1 to a team in the top 25, and 1 at a place where much better teams have been blown out.

He was great on offense. He couldn't guard anyone, A terrible defender.

[nhclone]

I agree that a few games were close, but we played no one in the non conference and have 1 win in the league.

9 losses by 6 points or less, big understatement from you. No doubt last years team had more talent, also no doubt this team plays harder and has better coaching. This team plays it's tail off, but at the end of games, when talent and depth show through, we can't finish when we're outmatched in both categories.

[cyclones500]

If this year's team had grabbed even 3 of those games when they were there for the taking, this conversation might not even be taking place.

I didn't get a "chance" to watch the Texas game, so I probably sound uber-optimistic right now.
