IT IS SPORTS. Things happen. If the results were completely predictable, why even play the game?

You should try taking a vacation.

Why?

Coming on this board to rile up a bunch of mouth breathers takes up so little of my time. Plus, with smartphones, you can discreetly do this during boring presentations, useless meetings, or on the can.

Keep up the good fight!

OR EVEN ON VACATION

Lol...

This leads me to believe that you enjoy stirring the pot...No real belief in your statements just taking an opposing viewpoint to start trouble.

Bet you would even create an alias to do the same. I guess different people are amused different ways.

Bad coaching at OM? Just a guess. Let me know if I got it right.

So you say OM has good enough coaching to be AL, but not enough to beat Memphis?

Nice.

I never understood how I could go out and light it up one game, then shoot air balls and rim-clangers the next game. For me, the former was the anomaly, though.

Most overblown excuse in basketball. Talent overcomes matchups 90% of the time. We we not ready to play either game

Lol...ok

I have heard Coach Cal, Coach K and Bobby Knight say that they had match up problems with the team that they just lost to or struggled with. I guess they didn't know what they where talking about.

I never heard any of the 3 ever blame a loss on matchups-Dana and Cal had a similar mantra: (Paraphrased) We don't worry about what the other team does; we have to do what we do and do it well.

I guess you didn't listen to all their interviews. Cal other favorite qoute when they loose is" we are a young team". I have also heard Cal "we are a young team and we didn't match up well with them".

RE: I just don't get it....
I know that this team is in bad shape depth wise, and the players are doing all they can. Losing to teams you are better than hurts, but I am still proud of them. They are leaving it all on the floor, and that is all you can ask for with a team with no depth. Just need a few more players just to give the starters some rest. Keep building, we'll see better days.

Depth is not the issue.

Depth is not the issue.

And of the top five guys in the nation averaging a double double (Dedric being one of them), only one plays on a team with a better record than ours, so that's not the magic bullet some claim, either.

Agreed...

You can with with 6-7 guys...But those 6-7 guys have to be versatile...Most should be able to defend and you should have a few that can shoot and slash.

We have 3 defenders and only 1 of those can score and since we only have 1 shooter and he isn't great I don't know if anyone can slash because the paint is packed.

Freeze had too much hubris against Memphis. Tried to go for it and got stuffed. That's on their coach. And, yes, it was nice.
