The first half maybe our best half.

:lol: Unfortunately true. While I didn't expect to win both of these games in Arkansas, I didn't think we'd to be run out of the gym either.

ASU 56

NT 39

7:50 to go

Knox is playing about as well as anyone else on this team.

I'm glad Ben got some PT and made the most of it. I've been wishing for weeks (during OOC) that JJ would get Ben and Cam more minutes.....just to see if either one could contribute. Until we develop some interior depth this year.....we're not going anywhere.

I'm not sure that them only having 8 players is much of an advantage. We only have 10, and one of them is Knox.

Too bad we don't have 4 more guys on this team named Knox. That fivesome couldn't possibly shoot worse or play worse defense than the guys out there tonight. JJ's teams are usually slow starters, but this one looks like it will have trouble getting past second gear this year. Hopefully I am wrong.

2 steps forward and one backward. same ole same ole. either we win the auto bid or our season is over, same as every year.

If you look at our schedule that's the only way we will get into the tourney anyway. I think since we have been in the belt the league has only gotten maybe 2 at large bids, so that pretty much says it all.

I was under the impression we were more rounded out as a team rather than missing one player so much. Guess I was wrong or misunderstood.

Well, we're kinda down three at the moment.

Okay, I maybe heard half of the game on the radio, but here is an open plea to the coaching staff.

1.) Please, please do not play Alzee and Josh at the same time in the backcourt. It does you absolutely no good. Alzee can not shoot to save his life and this leaves the defense to focus on Josh. A combo of Tristan, Alzee and Josh does not work. We need either Mangrum or Thomas out there to join Josh and Tristan. Even if Mangrum and Thomas are not playing great, they give us at least a shooter's chance. At one time, we had Alzee, Josh, and Shorter in as the 1-3. That doesn't work either. Shorter is not a scorer!! Don't handcuff your line up especially with no Tramiel for frontcourt scoring.

2.) Thomas is obvioiusly in the doghouse. The kid can play. Not having him is hurting us especially when Collin is off like tonight. Get him back on the floor.

3.) Recruit a new 5 next year and somehow get rid of Spencer or Knox or both if possible. Spencer is a defenisve liability because he is slow as molasses. Arkansas State's big man got a pair of dunks in a row becuase of Spencer's slow feet. Give Knox some more PT to see if he has potential but if he doesn't shwo more by the end of the year, let's get rid of them both. Doug Schindler was more productive....geez.

4.) Tell Williams and Shorter to not shoot anything outside of 8 feet. Neither can shoot. I like them both for what they do contribute but niether can shoot.

5.) We gotta have Tramiel back. I like that you are not rushing him back though. Wise move if he can produce later in conference and in the tournament.
