I know nobody wants to hear it, but its the players, not the coach. And I really like these players!

Without the coach it's just a sandlot game. josh had them ready!!!

Huh?

And...who are you?

Seeking more high fives from the same old crowd to boost your insecurities?

I mean dude, so I stop short of constantly and never endingly mocking and disparaging our coach, and you bring out the idiot line?

What a complete dik. There, you trolled, I bit, but really...even my normal obsessors have more panache than this stupid effort.

Grow up son.

Comical.

Explain bud..

Damon was here. Memphis guards had a great season. Joe, Chris etc...

Damon leaves, they regress..

Damon is still gone last season, guard play was down again.

Damon comes back, guard play is better.

Care to explain the "comical" comment?

I know the coach is important, but give me great players and I look like a good coach. There is a list of mistakes Pastner makes, like any other coach. But if you have good players playing as hard as they can, good things will happen. These players are trying hard and we'll win wayyyyyyy more than we'll lose.

As of yesterday Oklahoma & UCONN are the only ranked teams on our schedule. Other than our conference the other teams we play are merely cupcakes, and many at home. Things could change but this is shaping up to be similar to our CUSA years where we get on a sustained winning streak only to get a crappy NCAA seed because we have few or no signature wins.

The team played well and with guidance & hard work they will get much better. But “Great Job Pastner”? No loss rates as great in my book and nobody will remember how well we played come February & March.

It will be just another L for Josh’s teams against the top 25.

The logical fans with common sense and an actual understanding of basketball and sport in general gave up on you long ago. We bantered back and forth last year when I still thought you were worth saving, but alas I realized you were just a sunshine pumper with goo goo eyes for Coach and no clue about what it takes to win at this level. Glad to see you are still just as naive and clueless as you were back then. Some things never change. Go ahead and get back to celebrating your...uh...loss. Woohoo Pastner!

That damn tarrant missed layup and avery missing the open 3 with under a minute really determined the game. Either one goes in and we have a different ending.

This year may surprise some people, but I just hate we have a piss poor schedule. Other then last nite, down in Miami we have a shot at a decent Ohio state team and a few games against a top25 UCONN but that is really about all it is all year long. Last nite was the chance to make some noise.

Also, the possession right before the Tarrant layup miss was Shaq missing two free throws... We were in a position to win the game and the players were just not able to close it out.

The team looked much better than I expected. They looked good against Southern Miss but I did not think much of that given the competition.

We look much better the first two games this year than we have looked in just about any other year with Pastner. I give him a hard time when the team looks like crap, so he deserves credit for having had his team ready to play last night and putting them in a position to win late in the game. The switch to zone around 10 minutes left in the game was a great move...
