Griffin also choked though.
I should have known better than to get optimistic. Just leads to stress and disappointment with this group.
You could, but it would be a sloppy half baked fruit(& nut) cake.
I think you could make a great pound cake like in you are guaranteed to get pounded no matter who the opponent is. 😂
We need a Greg Harrington and a Ben Uzoh to go with the fall signees. Not so much to ask for, eh?
I looked up the game you went to at Wichita State on Dec 8, 2001. We won 82-76. Here is our roster under John Phillips.
Did the coach win or lose this game or was it the players:???????
Kevin Johnson
Greg Harrington
Dante Swanson
Antonio Reed
Jason Parker
Charlie Davis
Jarius Glenn
We are just bad..bottom line...way worse talent than any Jim King teams...
God a Ben Uzoh type would minimally meet our rim protector need, and maximally meet our rebounding and scoring guard needs. I would be so incredibly happy with a good PG and a Ben Uzoh type. I would scrap my desire for a 3rd player if we knew we had that.
I think that is what we are looking to sign in April if we can. But 100 other teams are doing the same.
We signed Hall despite our recent performance so I think the staff has some recruiting mojo.
I am sure the meeting went. “Don’t judge what we do this year as they are learning a new system. You will be a big part of moving forward”
Not one of those players was a Phillips recruit. All of them but Glenn were a Self recruit and Glenn was recruited by Buzzard Peterson.
Those of you who were involved in team sports with good teams know the feeling that winning is inevitable even if you are behind. It is the confluence of talent and confidence. It also makes playing fun and the hard work necessary bearable.
Losing is equally debilitating no matter the individual talents.
Losing is equally debilitating no matter the individual talents.
If you have ever coached a competitive team and taken them to the West Coast you would know that bonding, confidence and lack of confidence can all occur and be maintained for a long time, particularly the bonding of a young group.
That’s why I have been a huge proponent of the “ Foreign Canada or Bahamas trips “ that we are allowed every 4 years. Gragg would never let us go but maybe Konkol can persuade Rick for next year. It allows a bunch more practices too.
Get a couple more recruits, and next year would be the perfect time for this. Would give him a chance to use the talent & trip to turn this ship from the sideways orientation it currently has.
He has shown more than Knight and Chukwa in limited minutes IMO.
I would have said Knight deserved the minutes until I looked at the stat sheet in comparison.(over the last 10 games.) Knight does some things better, but overall McWright looks superior.
Knight hit two of his first three shots beyond the arc and looked good doing it but his deep ball has now gone astray. I’m hoping he gets his stroke back.
