The same with Tommy's last teams the Porter seasons and Fuente's first couple of seasons. You just have to be happy to see them play and cheer the on to do a little better than they should.

Yes.

Kind of a dilemma, but he seemed to do OK last night doing the whole enchilada. Somebody else is going to have to step up, as well -- several somebodies.

Maybe this was a slight exaggeration, but this was my thought when we only had 7 points with less than 8 minutes left in the first half.

Yep, when I got there (late), the scoreboard said 17-7 UALR, and I had the same thought. They were hot garbage most of the first half, and without Martin and that zone, we would've lost to Little Rock by double digits.

Martin is terrific.

Last night reminded me in a way of Tyreke versus Missouri.

Tyreke said eff it and just starting playing and stopped listening to Calipari.

That's what I saw Martin do last night.

Stop listening and start playing.

I would not put it past Tubby to negatively game plan.

He needs to go.

Unfortunately, Martin doesn't get those olé drives vs. teams with a pulse.

Negatively game plan consciously? I'm listening, but I can't see any benefit there.

Helps to temper and then build expectations.

Not saying he did but that I wouldn't put it past him.

Either that or like I have said, he just can't coach.

Wes Flanagan's(who?) team looked like they ran plays, moved the ball effortlessly, and looked in-sync with each other.

Our players looked like they had no idea what was going on.

They have 11 new players just like us.

Is Wes Flanagan(who?) planning his speech for his induction into the HOF?

Lots of people thought that about Calipari in that game . . . and we were right, too.
