I think we all need to meet up for a pregame beer. This is getting out of control. I'll buy the first round.

Getting back on topic, Caver and Talley are playing at a borderline all conference level right now in conference play. Caver, in particular, shooting 77% from the FT line and 41% from 3.

Making the NCAA tourney. Period. I thought we had a chance two years ago and was happy about the job jones did that year.

The following two years have seen regressions and while a lot of you are sold on next year being the year we make the tourney, I am not.

We still haven't signed a freshman big man in year 4 and if the freshman aren't ready to contribute right away, we are screwed.

I'd love to be optimistic about our NCAA tourney prospects, I just have to much of a grounding in reality to ignore all the signs that dictate otherwise.

I agree with you on that, but what does that coach look like to you philosophically?

There are plenty of coaches it could look like. For me, I know what it doesn't look like. We all have preferences and predispositions. I'd love to be proven wrong this year or next........but I've seen nothing in 3 1/2 years to think I will be.

Yep. It was her. Thanks for the reminder.

Talley looks pretty unstoppable tbh. He is so quick that nobody his size can defend him. Put a quicker/smaller player on him, he will just hit that floater over top of them.

Has she started looking for a new job?

I'll take this as your white flag.

Let's get back on topic indeed.

No I quoted the wrong thing.

Indeed. It is probably best for everyone if I just block you.

Or, you know, just don't make ridiculous posts and then change the subject or disappear when called out.

Either/or works for me. You won't be missed.

Oh cool this thread again. More please. Let's make every thread this thread. That way we will always have it close by. Yes yes yes yes yes.

How many people thought that Caver would be this team's best three point shooter? I surely did not.

Never really thought about it that way, but he has nice rotation, lift, and release. It's not a big surprise. You knew he would be at worst, the 2nd best.

I've always thought his shot was too flat to be really consistent. I'm a little surprised he's first (although, he and Jordan are really close). I thought BJ would be up there with them, though.

From the reports I expected BJ to lead us. Then when I saw Haynes shoot I thought he would have a chance. That's what Baker does so I thought maybe he could. Then, you know...Kah. It's awesome to see him excelling.

I will say, blocking him is spectacular...until people QUOTE HIM!!!

Good point on Kah. I never read BJ was a great shooter so I expected him to be more of a thrasher.

Haynes shot has looked better of late, but the scouting report was he was another slasher.

Im more surprised Baker is at 35%. It seems my memory has him missing every shot.
