You do realize our 96 Final Four team only played 8 players right ?

You really don't need 13 scholly players on a bball team, it's good to have the extra bodies when someone goes down with an injury, gets kicked off, etc but a lot of good teams only play 8 or 9.

The total number of bodies isn't the problem so much as the number of bodies at each position. When you have a grand total of one player who can adequately defend any 4 or 5 we might have come up against, you're going to have defensive problems across the floor no matter how fresh the team is. There simply wasn't anything that could be done about that this year, and it'll be much better next year with Ndoye, Daniels, and Black (if necessary, he should redshirt) available.

Black (if necessary, he should redshirt)

No way. Dawg61 don't allow no redshirts. They better all dress game 1!

There is this thing called fatigue.

Fatigue isn't what killed us last night, it was not knowing how to attack a zone. We don't have great personnel for a zone offense so I'm not disappointed we struggled with it, but I was disappointed that we couldn't even reverse the ball correctly or attack the soft spots. It doesn't take great personnel to do that.

We did it just fine against Stallings the night before.

We're a young team that freaked out when they realized how close they were to pulling it off. We made some ignorant plays offensively that were met with 60+% 3's on the other end, thus magnifying their ignorance. That, plus we had Borchert take 2 ignorant shots that translated to 5(I think) on the other end -- and not bother defending, which gave them 3-4 more.

We'll see if we "can't beat a zone" next year -- when we're mostly an upperclassman team.

*the whole pro ray crowd halfway into tonight games* I ****ING TOLD U SO *by tonights ends* TRY HARD AND HUSTLE OR WHATEVER*. we shot above ourselves for 1.5 games, then reality came. did you really think that's the real FTF? That's cute. Ole Miss bent us over in the 2nd half and did whatever the wanted to us, lead by the devil himself. 10 mins no scoring and 17% shooting percentage, we need some more of that. This isnt negative, this is real. 1 win does not a season make, nor does 1 game make a good player. Big hopes for next year right? *not by those who dont wanna bet down*

17% is "reality"?

PLS

Oh yeah, of course! My mistake. Ray has failed if all 13 players don't play in game one. Unless he cuts every player who doesn't play and replaces them with pure scorers by game two, which 61 can find for him.
