Just made too much sense.

Yeah, getting those two, I would think, would pretty much put us back to where we were last year. Different template, but similar talent.

It's tough to turn down a virtually guaranteed starting spot with a veteran point guard and pretty damn good big guys. We are a good team that just lost a bunch of scoring, and a few guys to the NBA. That's gotta be tough to turn down.

I know I'm old school, but those videos things would just feel weird to me

Will be interesting to see how they fill the roster. I think there's much bigger needs, but Deloach could allow some interesting lineups. Deloach at the 4 and Ware at the 5 would allow this team to get out and fly in transition.

Deloach is a much different player, physically. Much quicker, more explosive athlete. Limited offensively.

So we can't rebound, but we've got a 6'8" athletic freshman on the bench that did well in the very limited minutes in the first half? Would it hurt to put him in?

Yep. 100%

Miami plays so hard and tough.

Galloway watched that Schifino long brick go right in front of him

Miami gets away with a ton of ticky tack crap on both ends that affects the game. Kind of like a DB in football. They won't call a flag every time, so just keep doing it

Interested to see if Banks could be a sleeper defender. Length and quickness to stop these guys driving at the rim?

That's an understatement

Great win. Our guards need to be better/smarter with double teaming the post. Bates has to quit swatting at the ball in the post. Love seeing Banks get minutes. How awesome is that as a freshman, to see virtually zero minutes all season, then to start getting PT on a ranked team in February?

One of the worst flagrant calls I've seen. Offensive players should be thrilled to be fouled like that on an open break

I hope they intend to pump Woodson full of anti-aging nutrients, because no one on this bench is worthy of being a head coach

Never said he wasn't a better defender than Geronimo.

I just don't buy Kopp as being one of our best perimeter defenders. His basketball IQ certainly helps, but the dude is slow. Schifino, Johnson, Galloway, and Bates (when he feels like it), are all way better defenders.

Same stuff. Different year. No leadership. Just a bunch of coddled players who've always been told how good they are. And this coaching staff does nothing but play to that sentiment. Want an example? Blaming a poor defensive showing on missing two players. Is it true? Somewhat. Were we the more talented team? Absolutely. But as a coach, I would NEVER go out and give excuses like that after a clearly lackluster effort. Weakness. But hey, we've got NIL deals for all these guys. We are "cutting edge" in that department. It does nothing for the win column, but oh well. We are how many years into this "rebuild", and we are still talking about effort.

I'll be honest, I didn't even know I made the playoffs until yesterday early afternoon. When I logged in it said something about Championship Quarterfinals. Talk about an "Oh $hit" moment. Wish I would've got on sooner and grabbed a better defense.

I thought my team was dead in the water a few weeks ago. I'm still kickin

Pretty poor idea.

Who told our big men to grab the ball on the defensive end and immediately take off dribbling?
