There is guaranteed to be blemishes. The kid on the team was a bad person. Oates did what he needed to do. Nothing he did was bad. So was Miller for taking the murder weapon to Miles. Yet he was kept on the team. Because winning mattered. To Oats, to Crimson Slime, to local prosecutors protecting crimson slime. Auburn player's foot was down. That should be Texas ball. Quote
bierce Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 You either foul right away or you play defense to the end. You don't foul on the perimeter after letting 20 seconds run off the clock. 2 Quote

bierce Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Hell of a game by Kaluma. Shedrick played a good game. Kent was a no-show. If he doesn't step up, we will have problems as the year goes on. I commented when he first landed him that his rebounding numbers took a huge jump in 2023-24 and would likely revert to the mean, but we need a lot more from him inside than we have seen the last two games. Pretty good comeback. Still a tough loss, but the comeback suggests this season might still be salvaged. And you don't hire a coach who didn't discipline a player who took the murder weapon to the killer. Unless you are one sick puppy. 4 Quote
Hornito Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Nice comeback. Enjoyed being at the game near the end anyway. The fouling was definitely poorly done. Again, either no plan or bad execution. Hard to know but disappointing none the less 3 Quote

He talks to players and works hard. You can’t expect him to score thirty every night though. He’s been one of our few bright spots. 1 Quote

They fought and I am proud of the kids. Unfortunately this is where the A&M loss hurts. Quote

CoachBobbyFinstock Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I expected more from Mark unless he’s still hurt somehow. This is a guy we needed averaging between 15-20 a night. 1 Quote

They literally waited until he was completely healthy to play him. They just don’t have that point guard to run the offense. I think RT finally said I am going with Larry. He was in the game for most of the half. Quote

I spent a large part of my career telling court reporters to stop spreading rumors that I was a nice guy because other lawyers would try to take advantage of me. Now I have to fight the same fight here? 1 Quote
