Any thoughts on team chemistry at that point? The longer he is out, the more the team builds chemistry without him. To reinsert him would not yield expected results. Reminds me of Nolan Smith & Kyrie Irving. Inserted Kyrie (dropped 30 if I remember correctly) and lost in Rd 1. Kyrie goes #1 in the draft and Nolan/Duke win the MNC to following year.

Duke made the Sweet 16 the year they had Kyrie Irving (Nola Smith was a Senior).  Irving played in all three of their tournament games.

 

The Blue Devils won the title the year before Irving...not afterward.

Sadly, this is not going to be a "wait until the conference tournament" kind of year.  I think it's safe to say at this point that we are no longer contenders.  Injuries may have a lot to do with that

so just to summarize, Stone works hard while the rest of the roster is only here because of their natural athleticism and genetically-inherited quick-twitch muscles.  wanna make sure my bingo car

We've played 6 games against the top 5 teams in the conference and have won 1 of those games.  6 games is statistically significant to say we are not among those top teams.  Could be a different story

Mandela effect in play? I've heard & repeated that scenario "1,000 times". I refuse to allow facts to get in the way of a great story. 😡I also refuse to go look it up because I like the story. 😊😊 The Nolan Smith Redemption Story with the villain role shared by Rat Face (Coach K) and Ky-Me (Kyrie). 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know about “chemistry”, but I certainly have thoughts on inserting a ball handler and additional scoring option.

i say keep Rubin and Nolan out as long as needed to make sure they are 100% for the AAC tourney. Yes i want to beat SMU, Memphis and FAU but our best shot (and honestly only shot now) at the big dance is winning the AAC tourney!

I don't think we see either until March.

I think the plan will be for them to come back and play in the final 2-3 games before the tournament. If we don't get a top four spot and the double bye, we will have to win four in four days. We will need all hands on deck.

Isn’t the first time, nor will it be my last. 😇

How about allowing me to buy you a coke at the next home game. I can see that I have upset you. The sandbox is big enough for the both of us.  🤝

LOL, not upset.  I just tend to be a stickler on facts.  Even my family gives me a hard time for pettifogging.

NT 29 ---------- SMU 20

 

7:19 to go

 

Getting production from just about everyone. As I said earlier, we seem to be grabbing most of the big rebounds too.

Team finally learning to gel now without Jones and Noland.  I guess they are both out for the regular season.

Not sure about that. We still can’t handle full court pressure well without our true ball handlers and guys like A Scott look gassed early. Lack of depth is killing our top end potential even though we’re still playing tough every game.

Seems that way, which is unfortunate. Makes me wonder about our sports medicine/athletic training department and what's going on with their healing.

bingo. 

Moore seems so comfortable on the ball, but I don't think we can get away with him and Edwards on the floor at the same time, so scoring is a huge issue

      Honest tactical question here…

      Yall can lay the blame of this all at the feet of the Pirate. Leach having some success at Texas Tech, at a time when A&M fell apart and Baylor was non-competitive, while nobody else but Texas was a Big 12 school, led to him getting some kind of legendary status. And his influence on TX HS football went off the charts, because it was “more fun for the kids”…and it basically destroyed the development of linemen on both sides of the ball and made defense a part of the game that just needs a stop or two per half. Hell, Art Briles said that out loud. Just get a stop or two. So now, we get the luxury of seeing a short yardage situation have the QB in shotgun, with a running back behind him, all about 4-5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to get a yard. And then the coaches look exasperated when we don’t pick up the first down/TD, as we get tackled behind the line of scrimmage.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      I don't hate baseball, but what I don't like is people who seem to want something for nothing . A dream with out a plan is still just a dream and far I have seen no plan to fund a venue. I went to a health care seminar years ago where a woman who's husband was terminally ill. About 70% of a dying patients hospital bill is generated in the last 24 hours trying to keep them alive. She said that she didn't care what it cost as long as she didn't have to pay for it. Based upon lack of football and basketball support at UNT why would you think that baseball " would lure fans in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and and merchandise. "However in the future, which is now, universities will be forced to look at at profit and loss is the athletic department just like the rest of the universities departments. My definition is revenues less expenses equals profit or loss.Based upon your definition of revenue sports swimming would fall into that category if we charged dollar to attend a meet, passed around a collection plate, and sold swim caps. In summary UNT has only so many beans in the pot and to waste them on a very expense non revenue sport seems ridiculous.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      Ask some of the podcasters, they would say "Oh he has Texas ties", "Look what he did with Cam Ward"

      Honest tactical question here…

      I don't understand the reluctance to incorporate some short-yardage options from under center. You can still be air raid or whatever you want the other 90% of the time. It's so limiting to not have it.
