Order up another jumbo mogray, this teams good. I'm just as pissed about the loss as anyone, or more so, but no need to attack all the kids so harshly.

Flip has shown he has the skill sets. Now he needs to show he's become a leader and that means taking better care of the ball with the lead late in a game. No need for the flash at that point.

Oriakhi is a beast on the boards and solid defensively. Yes, he needs to stop showing up the refs. I think his past showing up refs is what led to his technical, not so much what he actually did by setting the ball down.

Brown is a player. Remember, he's only played less than a half dozen games of competitive ball in over 2 years. At times, the game speeds by him, but of the youngsters he certainly handles it better than the others.

NWC is being asked to do things that he shouldn't/isn't capable of doing and I think that's affecting the rest of his game.

I think we'll still lose 3 or 4 more games this year. But that doesn't make them a bad team. Just get 'em ready for tourney time.

It's not that think this team isn't good, still final 4 potential..it's just a team that I don't really like.

Oriakhi pouted all game, I hate that stuff. He looks 35 and has won a national championship, he should be the last one pouting over bad calls. I also hate guys that spit on people, I don't know for sure, but that seems to be the rumor.

I don't know why people keep telling me Pressey has skill. That is obvious. He is great, but he hasn't matured one bit since his freshman year... it's just about January of his junior year, at what point does it become a concern that he isn't maturing?

Brown is a player, didn't say he wasn't, and I've enjoyed his play. Just said I think he's too fried up, too much of a burnout and he won't have that internal fire to be there when it matters. Hope he proves me wrong.

Webster Chan is not good, not now or ever. I'm afraid he isn't a very good athlete. Again, hope he proves me wrong.. but not seeing it.

I do really like Bowers and Ross, I think they're good people and great players. And Bell is too, even though he screwed that up bd last night.

May have overreacted, but I'm just so disappointed in Flip, and think people slobber over him way too much. And I really don't like Oriakhi at all. I remember that scuffle against Illinois, he's the biggest guy on the court, and he was taking steps backwards while that was heating up, while everyone else was rushing into it. Then he pouts all game last night, and spits on a guy. Not my kinda guy.
