Our conference schedule was front-loaded with some tough road games. We are sitting really pretty now. I think we are ultimately looking at a 7/8/9 seed but we won’t be a bubble team now as our schedule is easing.

This team easily passes the eye test. Arguably, I do still think we are a better team without Lomax. If all Alex did was play defense and pass he would make us better but he doesn’t do that so I’d rather roll without him. We need Malcolm back badly just for rebounding and defensive presence. He will improve us. This is NOW a tournament team, no debate, and they will be a very dangerous one.

This win got us IN, boys. Back on track. We are going to be a tough out. Get ‘em Penny!

Couldn't disagree more about being better without ALO

I get it. I want to “like” him. I just feel his bball IQ is low and he doesn’t understand his value is in his defense and being a floor leader. He thinks he offers something on the offensive end which he clearly does not in any capacity. He fires up bricks going “hero ball” as if he isn’t always a 5th offensive option on the court, and he doesn’t understand what offensive role he could play which would allow him to add value.
