I’m not as worried about the minutes Holman gets, More concerning is Lamar.. 5 points and 5 dimes his last 2 games and we actually won both .. also his body language tonight was terrible .
He needs to get right and get right quick
It's not so much him running the point as it is getting him the ball up top in the half court. Peters played 30 minutes tonight. I'm not so sure he deserved it.Quote:

I wasn?t dogging him as a coach but at the same time don?t blame a situation like travel on poor shooting and not blocking out. We won a game that we should of won big. Didn?t play great but I think travel wasn?t the issue no more than being at home and having lapses We have a talented team who don?t play together at times. Call it like it is. So travel and hotels affected everyone but Q? Look it may have made a difference but I don?t think a coach should make excuses for players like this. Then they have reasons instead of holding themselves accountable.Quote:

From Bracky Fife allowing what he is and has, to our 1980?s pre internet travel agent, we have no recourse for those who make fun of our athletic department.
That's the exact combo that went on a 23-1 run vs Arkansas and totally kicked their ass. Once again we see Howland is either too stubborn to go to it again, too loyal to certain players (most likely this one) or he's too blind to recognize it. I really like Howland but this shit drives me crazy with him. How can he not try that same 5 lineup for at least a couple minutes tonight after it was so effective vs Arkansas??Quote:

His in-game demeanor no longer bothers me because I think he's more intense/into the games than he was the first season here.Quote:
