The saying is that "it is not who starts but who finishes the game." Looking at this from the outside and in retrospect, it appeared to me that when Epps finished out the Texas game with Skyy on the bench, the die was cast. Might not have been a coincidence that the losing started immediately thereafter.
)Doubling down on SC being a SG is a bold choice.
Can't disagree the writing was on the wall - while his Playing time stayed consistent his numbers/stats didn't reflect the number of minutes he was playing. He started until the BCU game when he was injured and didnt dress. Northwestern was next - Harris started and was on the bench after 2 fouls in first minute. Clark played 20 minutes but only score 2 pts with 3 rebounds and then he left the team.
Disagree, most coaches don't watch other games and many don't even fill it out themselves. Ap poll usually closer to reality
Due to his size, his money is in PG at the NBA level. You can tell him play SG but he (or they) may not be happy. Water under the bridge anyway. I would not sell him to play SG if I were the next school recruiting him.
I thought about this but not necessarily a great comparison. Simmons is a non-shooter (literally 0% 3P% this year b/c he didn't take any) and Hawkins is at least a half-decent shooter (he will take 3s with low 3P% initially.) If Hawkins doesn't shoot well, he is not going to be that useful in NBA IMO. I think CH's perimeter defense is better than Simmons though.
The writing is on the wall IMO. Skyy looked like the odd man out and his camp might be actually smart in pulling him out.
Though he started every game for Baylor last year he was only the sixth man in terms of minutes played. He was a key piece but not the marquee player. His likely visibility was enhanced here.
Saw a post from a Baylor fan here a while ago. Basically saying Baylor and MM were in mutual agreement to separate since it had been long enough. So it was really about time for MM to find a different school and nobody was too upset. It was kind like our Grandison situation. This is probably common these days.
I'm with you across the board minus one - never, ever, ever root for Duke. I hope Miami beats them by 73 and makes Sheyer quit.For #TeamRankingsMatter and all others who want to see that little number next to our name, #19 Clemson lost to Wake Forest yesterday ... hopefully that helps open up some room for us if we can beat Indiana. Quite a few teams ranked ahead of us are in some interesting games this week, as well:
Today
#22 Providence at #20 Marquette
#25 Arkansas at Missouri (two reasons to be rooting for Mizzou!
Thursday
#23 Rutgers at Michigan State (also want to knock RU down to our level in the standings)
Saturday
#17 Miami (FL) at Duke
#20 Marquette at Seton Hall (always a tough place to play)
Virginia Tech at #19 Clemson (VT was ranked at one point)
Forfeit makes sense for conference standings. The NFL had to figure out how to balance uneven records
How about Charleston(18) loses to Monmouth? How the voters gave them a ranking is beyond me. They’ve played exactly 1 legitimate team, UNC, and lost by 16. #teamrankingsmatterFor #TeamRankingsMatter and all others who want to see that little number next to our name, #19 Clemson lost to Wake Forest yesterday ... hopefully that helps open up some room for us if we can beat Indiana.

No! Did you see the Kansas-Kansas State game last night? If you watch most of the power conferences, they are very close to the same.
I always wonder this ... it's hard to imagine crews worse than the Big Ten's, but every other conference fan base says the same thing about their league.
I do think the Big Ten refs unquestionably allow the most fouls to go uncalled, though.The UConn women didn't cancel a game. It's been rescheduled.
Don't some of these officials work across conferences?I always wonder this ... it's hard to imagine crews worse than the Big Ten's, but every other conference fan base says the same thing about their league.
Not at all uncommon.
100%. He is less valuable as a SG also
A forfeit does not make sense for a an unavoidable situation. That penalizes a team(s) and rewards another(s). Making a tough decision like the NFL did has to be accepted. Forfeit is NOT the answer.
Simmons is ALL-NBA defense. I don't even like Simmons, but he is one of the best defenders in the league.
