Funny how no one is screaming for dunning or ford to get more run. Wonder why Pinion?


Pinion is the only one of the 3 that is a legitimate threat from outside

People also regularly ask why Ford hasn’t been in the rotation for a few minutes to give the guards some rest.

Lol we had just won 5 straight without Pinion playing much at all. Suddenly we lose a couple and get him in there!
As if this conversation hasn't been going on the entire season since Brazile got hurt.

You ignore reality to accuse our fanbase of playing favorites due to race but I'm the Karen. Alright.


I’m a white boy so im fully qualified to make this statement. And this bias isn’t exclusive to our fanbase

And this is where the season got absolutely fricked. Sure we can argue who can and can’t play but no coach is going to overcome this loss + NSJ, that’s why the Muss criticism makes me laugh. He had built a loaded team. Just shitty luck.

I'd say stick to speaking for yourself. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that you might want to put the guy on your team billed as the best shooter on your team on the floor when you're struggling with shooting.

We had a better FG % than A&M and only 4 % points worse than State. It wasn’t as big of a factor as you claim.

Defense lost the State game, we should’ve shut them down at home

Yes having an actual life outside watching sports sometimes gets in the way. Some of us can’t still live in moms basement.

Yeah, the 17th most efficient defense in the country needs to improve. Not the 131st most efficient offense.

You're right. Maybe we should utilize more of the roster so the defense still has legs the last 5 minutes of the game. Maybe even augment the offense at the same time.

We gave up one more point in the second half than the first, lol. I’m literally criticizing the team and you move the posts. Defense lost the State game, we didn’t lock them down like we should’ve

Last night Devo (who has shot the ball well outside recently) missed two wide open 3’s and 3 FT’s within last two minutes that could’ve turned the game. You going to take out who’s been your hottest outside shooter with the game on the line?

So you come into a thread full of people more knowledgeable than you and try to act like you’re smart and we’re stupid. Is it your ego causing you to do that or just boredom?

Just sharing my opinion Stoney, I’m not making it personal like you are. We’re all on the same team here, it’s okay to disagree, it’s a message board for crying out loud. Drewbie is good people. I enjoy talking a little ball. I can’t tell you how little I care about basketball knowledge of strangers on a message board, I enjoy the banter.

Also I think your pizza rolls are ready

You’re the one who made it personal in the first place.

First you called us all racists, you called Drewbs a Karen and you said I live in my mom’s basement. Are you ok?

Oh ffs. I’m not that woke dude. I’m saying college basketball fans are biased towards the white boy shooters. Why do you think the crowd goes ape shite when the walk ons get some clock? It doesn’t make any one racist lol. I even said it wasn’t exclusive to us. Stop being so triggered.

Making the moves to try to improve offensive production mid-game helps the defense as a passive byproduct by supplying rest for the starters. We have the same dudes playing 38+ minutes per game for an entire season and you wonder why we aren't locking dudes down at the end of games in late February. Minute allocation and the accumulation of a season's worth of wear and tear is much more of a problem than "they just aren't playing good defense".

My mistake. I forgot the rule that states we can only sub out Devo. If only there was another underperforming forward on the floor.

Well, if the racist Karens would get the hell outta the basement and bring me my pizza rolls... We would all be better off.

Mercy, what a thread.

Our best outside shooter got two wide open looks from 3 and 3 free throws. What else can you ask for? He missed all 5 shots. We lost. That’s hoops my man.
