The line wouldn't move either way if Naz plays. Him playing or not does not effect Vegas.
Because this tournament is wide open and with Naz we could have a legit shot at a deep run. Maybe Naz would like to go out with Georges and some of the other guys, rather than return to be Matt's possible backup.
Hmmmm ok, ya, so he would be Matt Thomas back up next year. Its all so clear now.
Have you ever watched a basketball game ever? Just curious.
I've watched enough to know that a double hip surgery doesn't always end well and he may never be the same

so instead of healing further and further PT, he should come back now. Cant argue with these facts.

Not sure any of us can get inside his head, and really figure out what he's thinking.
Personally, I think he'd love to help out his teammates, and he understands the ceiling if he came back, but it's also a sizeable risk. What if it screws up the rotation and roles that the team is used to, or what if he comes back and can't make shots, and then is just a burden.
Or selfishly, what if he came back, and they still lose in the first round of the tournament. Is it really worth throwing a whole season away for that?
If we get knocked out in the first round it is a trainwreck (I don't think this will happen). The McDermott years the train never got out of the station.
Yep, I agree the future is always unknown and all of us are purely speculating.
Anything could happen between now and next year too. There is risk and potential reward which ever way he goes.
Naz is not coming back this season. I spoke to him again Tuesday night and asked him how hard it is for him to sit and watch at the end of tight games. He said it is brutal, especially when he knows he could make a difference. But than said "I do get to come back for one more year!" with a huge smile. I told him "if you can get Monte to come back, you, Matt, and him will make up the best back court in the country. He put his hand out to shake and said "Trust me, I am working on that"...

You weren't paying close enough attention then. There was a bleeping trainwreck every single game, multiple times per game. It happened when Brian ******* Peterson picked up his dribble along the sideline just across half court all the ******* time. Still don't understand how he is a coach. He failed at b-ball 101 stuff
Never cared to. Always came off as pretty arrogant for a guy that thought the purple crayon tasted like grape.
Yeah, I'm not saying this isn't one of the better teams in ISU history even if we finish 3-2 and don't win any tournament games.
But a trainwreck goes like this... You start with a train. A big, awesome, expensive, fancy train. And then you wreck it. Super disappointing. That would be a trainwreck.
Our basketball team started off like a train at the station. And in the process of the season (whether or not it was anyone's fault, like losing Naz) we end up finishing in the bottom half of the Big 12, and don't win any tournament games. That's the same as a trainwreck. You started off with something you were so excited about, and then were left with disappointment.
I'm not labeling this season as anything yet, and that's just a what-if scenario. I think the season won't end up a trainwreck.
This may be your greatest post ever.
I know it's been said, but I think the Baylor game was the wake up call they needed. They must be looking at the name on the jersey.
Naz coming back. Train wrecks galore. Dream land. The players had a simple team meeting and the fans in here need a "therapist".
