I think we need to temper expectations

It will take time but we are winning while still trying to establish an identity with the rotation. Guys off the bench are playing better then starters. That's not a bad thing.

Marble - Go to guy it but still is inconsistent at times and forces shots that aren't there, but they aren't anywhere else either as we keep passing the ball around the outside looking to try and post somebody up. Lanes are clogged.
Woodbury - Can someone explain why this kid is even playing in the Big 10. He has no strength and I've seen little to no improvement. 6pts. and 3REB last night and he's 7 frickn' feet tall. Get him on some strength program that works. He gets stripped more then White.
White - 20PT 7REB and 7 AST Played much better last night and he fumbles the ball allot when he puts it down we still need to be going to him more often and have him attack the iron. He needs to work on him ball handling and get him on a strength program too for some upper body. Gets pushed around allot.
Basabe - 6PT. 1REB and 0 AST Keeps the offense moving. Needs to do something with the ball besides passing it.
Gesell - 10PT. 5REB and 2 AST More penetration but looked really impressive at times. Along with Basabe these two need to help open up the offense and dish out to open guys.

McCabe - 17PT. 6REB Get this guy in the game more. He has a stroke and we just need to keep feeding him ball. Will be open more if we could establish some type of inside presence.
Uthoff - This kid also should be starting or playing more. Can shoot and is heady. He would work well with White and another kid that needs a strength program that seems non-existent.
Olaseni - 9PT. 5REB. He should be starting instead of Woodbury. He has some nice offensive moves and he actually can get a rebound and put back up without getting stripped.
 
After seeing other B10 teams, I actually feel better about our chances now then before the season started. Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin all look beatable, I think we have a great shot at finishing third in the league. Also, how in the world can you say there has been no development?

I agree that the most of the Big 10 doesn't scare me. Illinois didn't show me much last night either. I'll stick with my signature prediction from last spring and every day since.

Interesting that you equate 7 feet tall with the ability to dominate an opponent.

In your mind 12 minutes, 1 Reb, 0 Assists and 6 points = keeps the offense moving. But 15 minutes, 3 Reb, 3 Assists and 6 points = shouldn't play in the Big Ten.
 
Ok. If you guys want to be dicks and refuse ti consider what I am saying, so be it. We'll have to see what happens when we play the Big Ten slate. Hopefully you guys are right an I am wrong. I'm not getting into a ******* match about basketball knowledge.

YOU STARTED IT!!!!!

:p
 
If Jon thought I was trolling, he would say so. You guys have little experience with real trolling. Good day.

If you think pointing out how wrong you are is equal to being dicks, then stop being so wrong and we will stop being dicks. .
 
Maybe it's how some of you DICKS say it! What do you think, Dick?

My name is Richard, thank you.

Can you tell me how you think my hypothetical game would go? I said at least 30 points, but honestly I think it would be more like the Abilene Christian game .
 
Im going to save this thread on my laptop and when we lose a conference game, I am going to throw some of your remarks right back at you. Date and time included. Consider yourselves marked men and you better not even come close to throwing out similar criticisms. Dicks.

Its a moot point because we have so many more bodies getting minutes. So I dont see the purpose.

Correct at 7 feet we should see more productivity even in 15 minutes especially on the glass. Woodbury was ranked 11th nationally at his position coming out of high school. I have been a bit harsh on him and hopefully we'll see some upper body strength in time. Oh you forgot the 3 TO's

Your original response was one of the more level headed ones. You should have stopped there. Now you are just putting words in peoples mouths. Best to let it go, Richard. Er...Mr. Head.
