Think swain comes back milers interview made it clear that swain can still improve more

If you want big improvement next season, better hope for a point guard. Casual basketball fans understand the game about as much they understand thermonuclear dynamics. Like goobers talking about Luka as some kind of savior. Reminds me of one of my favorite film lines from Revenge. "They're no doubt expecting a common, reliable stud, which he ain't."

We know who we are Harvey, just having fun talking about it. But, we do know enough to know that a good Point Guard changes lives. 🙂

I have a feeling PG is the first think we are looking at in the portal

Jeff you've pretty much summarized how the team has consistently played in the SEC schedule and what we should expect the rest of the year. It's matchup dependent to an extent but this team lives and dies by Swain shooting efficiently and Mark not having an off night.  Matas will be in foul trouble (minus a bad game plan by the opponent not to attack him) every game and Pope will be invisible 50% of the time. We just got to hope that these hot nights by Pope or Heide pop up at the right times. 

That said, we look like we're tournament bound which is more than I could say a month ago which speaks to the job Miller has been doing of late.

We need to stop letting the other team's best player go off - Meechie Johnson scored a career high 35 pts and was getting way too many and-1s at the rim. Reminiscent of the Miss St. game where Josh Hubbard went off for 38 points, the only difference being we lost that game (and Ja'Kobi Gillespie going off for 34 when we got destroyed @ TN). I think the issue of letting the other team's best player throw together a highlight film against us would have been harder to conceal had we lost that game but it needs fixing because it's become a pretty standard playbook for a team like SC to be competitive against us.

That’s the one thing I haven’t seen from Coach Miller. Make somebody else beat you. I am sure he has his reasons but I haven’t seen that yet.

If we can get Wicher, Matas, (ans Swain hopefully) back, we should be good for tournament next year.

Wilcher has looked better but he is not the shooter with length Texas needs, and he  is not a guard that can get downhill. Would be great coming off the bench.
