I was shocked we went into zone yesterday. Wonder if zone would work better in this game.

I made a comment on Twitter last night that I don’t understand why Ware doesn’t get the calls that other big guys like Edey get. The contact with no foul called against him is insane. Woodson makes enough money that he already should’ve publicly called out the refs to start getting his guy some calls.

Yeah we would’ve been better off if he fouled out for once lol

Yep 1000%

Except on that last possession when he clearly should’ve passed to ware because then ware has two options. 1. Drive and score due to mismatch or when they collapse on him kick to Leal for wide open three.

I don’t understand MR’s thought process there. Ware had his guy completely dominated for an easy two points there.

What stinks is this. We beat Iowa and Ohio St. And yet they will get the two “seeded” spots from the big ten because of the stupid NET. So basically the NET screws us in both tournaments UGHHHH

WE MADE FREE THROWS!!!!!!!!

Yeah I think the main NIT Bracketology guy said 1 win gets us for sure in the NIT. If we can get past Nebraska we match up well with Illinois but that was with Galloway not sure as much without him. If Purdue somehow gets upset we could win this thing. Nebraska is the one we somehow just don’t matchup well against.

AND we have the head to head over Sparty

I sure wish that was the case but I don’t trust our administration. All it takes is a good year in the portal and making the tourney and then Buckner gets his way. If we sick we waited a year for no reason and will lose out on the 2025 guys

Haha how about Q Buck?

So for the longest time I was a bulls fan. I got tired of ownership doing absolutely nothing and I already deal with crappy owners in baseball and football. I decided to switch to the warriors as the team I follow because I feel like TJD will be there a long time.

Which depending on who leaves here he may have to be the guy. If certain people stay he probably wouldn’t work out here. He also may be intimidated by Woodson discussing defense. Woodson may also not be interested because he doesn’t play/can’t play defense. I mean he is a Blackmon and not one of them was even close to good at defense

The article should be sent to QB and Dolson haha

UNF is where my mentor/former high school coach is an assistant at.

I haven’t seen anything

I completely agree. Also losing out on Liam it kinda screws up our pipeline to Montverde.

I agree but my issue is we could’ve had love and knecht and instead ended up with Walker and sparks. Woodson botched that though so my concern isn’t the players being there it’s Woodson’s ability to close on guards.

Anthony Wright on Twitter said people shouldn’t freak out about losing Liam because there will be lots of him that are the exact same as him but 3 years older. Already true.

Update from my mentor: He is very streaky…hot and cold. I think he is most successful as a volume guy. Not sure he can be very impactful if he is a 3rd option shooting 8 shots a game. He has as many 3-15 shooting game as he does 10-15 games. If you can live with the streaky results at the 8pt game to get the occasional 30pt game then it’s fine. He does a good job of creating shots and getting to the FT line most games. Also can’t guard his shadow.

Asking my mentor about him now. He coached against him twice each year for last 3 years. Will provide feedback if I hear back.

Hahaha

But we weren’t good because Woodson wasn’t willing to adjust his defense early on when they were still learning it. He should’ve abandoned it until they had a better grasp on it. That’s something else he doesn’t understand is every point matters in getting in the Tournament. The problem is he just assumed they’d win every home game, steal a couple road games, and be comfortably In.

Wow Woodson saying he’s done his job is absolutely insane to me. Zero recruits in ‘24. Not keeping a top 15 player because you stopped recruiting him. Not adjusting to zone because your personel couldn’t figure out your crappy defense. Not answering questions from the media when it’s in your contract that requires you to speak with the media. Being lazy and skipping events and recruiting you shouldn’t be doing. Gosh I wish someone in media would call him out on that. The problem is he would be an egotistical jerk in his response if someone did call him out because he’s so self centered and will never admit he’s wrong or he has screwed the future of our program not helped it.
