Not a bad take at all. My focus is a little different though. By the end of the season, I would like to see the team so confident and knowing what each needs to do and likely exactly when, that the play we saw against Mizzou is the floor and the ceiling unlimited. That is much like I felt in '89 and '05.What I am encouraged about is last year we could lose to anyone (bored, no shooting, effort) but if we played our "best" game, we could beat anyone. This team doesn't seem to have that issue. This team's ceiling is much. much higher.
This attitude makes me embrace with high expectations for the return of SH as a backcourt duo.that bodes well. if DGL has the right mindset (about mostly sitting this season and this being a development year), he very well could be a stud, as soon as next season.
No, no, no! Don't want to see another casualty of NIL!!!Needs to do this with tennis balls.
Wow. Haven't seen a Craig Tucker reference in a long time. Definitely one of the guys my brother and I pretended to be during our halftime nerf hoops games back in the day!If you'd told me that Trent would be the best defensive guard in the BIG as a senior when he was frosh, I'd have called BS. As good of an athlete as Trent was, DGL is better. Remember Craig Tucker? Helluva baller (mostly offensively). DGL is a better athlete. And he's a pretty gifted player too. Point is, the kid has a super high ceiling. Just has to keep working, stay focused and listen to staff. The D he's seeing daily and our results has to have an impact.
In a similar vein, really hope Harris is seeing some positive results with his jumper and his body mass/strength/physique. There's another kid who could be a stud, no squinting necessary.
Guessing you’re talking about a different Craig TuckerWow. Haven't seen a Craig Tucker reference in a long time. Definitely one of the guys my brother and I pretended to be during our halftime nerf hoops games back in the day!
The three games that Coleman missed were the best thing that could have happened for this team concerning offensive flow. I don’t know if it was Coleman or the coaches who figured it out, maybe both, but Coleman can’t be a point forward trying to start the offense 30ft from the basket in the half court. The less he gets to think on offense, the better the result for the team, Coleman included. Can’t deny what the kid does defensively and I blamed the coaches for the mind boggling offensive possessions that we are all too familiar with. But somebody got the memo.Completely agree. We have much more flexibilty offensively & defensively when he's in.

Maybe it's just me and orange-tinted contacts, but if that young man stays dedicated (with a touch of angry / chip on shoulder), I see loads of potential and positive possibilities for the Beloved.that bodes well. if DGL has the right mindset (about mostly sitting this season and this being a development year), he very well could be a stud, as soon as next season.
Honestly even without a jumper, if Harris can just develop as a ballhandler and finishing I feel like he could be a great college player. Dude can flat out run but he just can't score.If you'd told me that Trent would be the best defensive guard in the BIG as a senior when he was frosh, I'd have called BS.

Well, we haven’t played FDU so don’t tempt the fates. Just don’t.The best part of this season? We haven’t had a moment where I feel we’ve been out of a game, or unraveled…
Down 7 to FAU? Won by 9
Rutgers goes on a run? Foot on the gas.
Marquette at home, 3rd game with this group together against a Marquette team that’s been there… not a worry in the world. We were in that game the entire time.
@Tennessee? Ya we let up a run… but the refs really helped them out. Is that a soft take? Sure. But that wasn’t a basketball game the last 20 minutes. It just wasn’t.
We’re 11 games in and there isn’t a single game I have felt bad about. No lost confidence. Connected group, Quincy is healthy, we have a #1 option, and 3 other guys who can be robin.
When was the last time we could go into conference play without a game that made us shake our head? Don’t remember that happening in the past 10 years. Special group.

Ya know, to be nitpicky, the Oakland game was stinky. However…it doesn’t even feel like the same team anymore. That game was only 5 weeks ago, too! The ascension has been awesome. Man, if this team even just marginally improves over the next 2 months, it’s going to be a special tournament.The best part of this season?
