I wanna see TJ rip his shirt off and go hulk on the refs

 

[cstrunk]

Lol Bob

 

[cyclone82]

Doug Sermons with the bench warning on us.

Idiot...loser call

 

[CYDJ]

I like Rob, I like his effort. However, I really hope other guys are able to displace him next year though.

 

[FerShizzle]

Do you see players with skillsets that create a lot of options?

kunc
tre king
ward

all 3 of these players have skills.

or we can keep throwing it into rob and his ridiculously inefficient usage.

but yes. i agree they are a limited bunch. but never getting out of the comfort zone only keeps them limited.

'whats the upside'

 

[jcisuclones]

The numbers agree, but they don't like numbers!

They never have

 

[CYDJ]

Just killer 3 there.

It baffles me that our fanbase thinks Jones is such a valuable asset to this team. For two straight years, he's been a liability 95% of the time he's been on the court. Probably the same people who didn't want to get rid of Paul Rhoads or Steve Prohm because "they're nice guys"

What's more baffling how bad is Ward I mean why not give him a shot

Exactly who thinks he’s a valuable asset? He’s a warm body who has to play because Shoon and King foul too much.

I think the obsession about how he shouldn't be playing on a team with no legit backup options at the 5 is pretty baffling.

It's not that he's good; there aren't options and the starter either wears down or gets in foul trouble.

It goes up there with 'bench Gabe and Caleb!' last season.

 

[FerShizzle]

imagine if osun had bobs desire to seal his man, get shots up, and hustle.

We need talent...as simple as that

So what do you do with that trio in a line up?

 

[Clonefan32]

We are 7 of our last 42 from 3 the last 2 games

Coming the next two years.

Road versus home difference

NCAA Basketball Stats - NCAA BB Team Opponent Three Point % | TeamRankings.com

NCAA Basketball opponent three point %, by team.

www.teamrankings.com

So the average difference across all 349 schools is 1.42%. Ours 7.2%. Good for 342nd worst difference between home and away.

 

[CYDJ]

How in the hell was that on Jones? The dude came from behind him

 

[madguy30]

We are 7 of our last 42 from 3 the last 2 games

But Bob!? and whar Ward?

 

[pulse]

“It was close”. Okay..

how many teams have 2 5's? not many. its a disappearing position. rebraca from iowa isn't a true 5 and he plays just fine in the post.

the fact that TJ refuses to run out some combination of Kunc, King, Ward to spell Osun is maddening. how could it possibly be worse?
