I 100% think Mason and Vice are back with rotation roles next season. not sure on Cotton given this is two straight years in this system with no minutes.

Fair point. Just hope we have a bit of continuity from this year to next. B-Lo, Mason, Vice could be a very talented trio with legitimate highmajor size.

Have we had a scoring drought yet?

Inquiring minds want to know.

could bring back Floyd and Newell well. 

I wonder if the big step forward for Lorient will be him playing meaningful minutes at the 3...doing some poor-man's Kevin Durant impression. he has a soft stroke...not just from 3 (where he's still north of 50%), but he's hit a number of really nice turnaround 17 footers throughout the year.

Their crowd is not that impressive for a team that went to final four last year. If that cannot get you over the attendance hump nothing will. I also believe Memphis, us and uab deserve to play in the big dance.

I honestly wonder if Joe Lunardi could make an uncontested lay-up

No. He couldn’t dribble and would trip over his own feet. 

[SUMG]

I had never heard "The Lorient Express".....until the play by play guy said it tonight. I guess he came up with it? 

Anyway, thought it was great.

First, this isn't Grant. I hope Hodge is great but as of right now, he's stuck at good. Here's why I think that. Ross has been here since 2017 in a major role. Him being named HC was done to pickup where Grant left off. The offense struggles for the same reasons it did when Grant was here which is also when Ross was here. You can say he wasn't over the offense but he also got promoted knowing what issues our system had. I really think Ross will leave a legacy as good as Grant did whenever his time is up here. That said, I can't help but think he underachieved last year and may do so again this year. We won 19 games last year and many view that as a win considering it was our first year in the AAC. I may be too negative but I can't help but think about who we had on our roster. Rubin is playing 20+ minutes per game with #15 Michigan, Scott is averaging nearing 28 minutes per game with #6 St Johns, CJ Noland is averaging 21+ minutes per game with New Mexico who's top in the MWC and getting top 25 votes, Edwards is the SEC's #6 scorer and putting up over 17ppg for Vandy, Buggs is doing what he did for ETSU. All of that and we couldn't crack 20 wins. Sure, we have 20 wins this year but the schedule is weak and we've already dropped several games we should have won and we also played two non-D1 schools to get there.

I realize I'm probably being unreasonable. Just that looking at our schedule, we're good enough to have beat High Point, McNeese, Utah State, etc... I know it's the way sports work but really feels like we dropped the ball on an easy-ish OOC.

Dude I respect your postings but JC mane -- have you lost your mind.  Ross has won what 40 games in two seasons?  Jarod better get him locked up b4 he wins this tourney and blows up out of our reach.  This dude can flat out coach!
