Did you play for your school? Position?

No.

Being able to jump does not make a basketball player.   Just ask Carlton Cooper and Ovie Dotson, Dotson's pseudo-career with the Globetrotters notwithstanding.

That’s it. Weaver can jump, so you are secretly living the life of Weaver. Since you could jump, you see yourself in him. 

Nah.  I never spent my time on the floor flying to the rim to finish or draw contact.  I spent most of my career as a pick-up game player laughing that I  was picked first by captains over clearly better players solely because they trusted me to bring the ball up and DISTRIBUTE.

That was my main thing.  Basketball is such an easy game when the point guard keeps eyes open and looks for the guy who is openest and closest to the basket.

Duh.

While ragged, the team did move the ball around without their three best players on the floor.  A sign they are being correctly coached.  

Yeah, I saw Johnson assisting Mark from the get-go.  We faced a relatively weak opponent, but it is always good to see 19 assists on 34 made fg instead of Eric Carmen basketball.

NMSt is the level of patsy Texas should be playing.

Yeah, or we could even play a notch above.  Sam Houston State, UTEP, UT-Arlington, and whoa! North Texas.  Even if SFA is down this year, there are a lot of decent programs in the state that we could play instead of utter crap like Arky PB, Chicago State, Delaware State, etc.

We scheduled 6 non-conference games against the bottom 25 teams in Pomeroy.

We should all tell CDC--Never again.

It’s not like those games were packed with fans. And the ones that were there looked as lifeless as Texas in the first half against Connecticut.
