coach makes me want to cry he has so much love and passion in his voice. Come along way away from 2022 when he was just not happy with his team. He sees something in them. If anything, I believe in COACH!

That kid gets easier to root for every day.
*sigh*I did check my work.
-1
-9?
I posted my work, let's see your math
I'm trying to be respectful here but your total lack of grace isn't making it easy. In the future, just make sure your data is valid before trying to invalidate other people's opinions with it. And when someone gives you the chance to correct yourself, take it.
| Time entering / exiting the game | Score entering / exiting (IL - AL) | Difference |
| 1H 20:00 / 16:52 | 0-0 / 11-12 | -1 |
| 1H 13:11 / 10:18 | 17-21 / 19-29 | -6 |
| 1H 9:00 / 6:37 | 19-33 / 23-38 | -1 |
| 1H 5:37 / 4:40 | 26-40 / 26-40 | 0 |
| 2H 20:00 / 17:48 | 38-52 / 45-57 | +2 |
| 2H 16:19 / 12:57 | 48-61 / 54-71 | -4 |
| 2H 7:29 / 6:03 | 65-80 / 70-84 | +1 |
| Total | -9 |

This is what buying in is all about.
You are correct. Thank you for showing your math. I was off by a bunch and I wonder what my issue was there. You don't have to be so offended by snarky remarks and gifs. It's kind of what we do here. Although, I see you also took the opportunity to talk down to me as well. Let's call it even.
Anyway, back to the original point - so Tre was -9 in a game we lost by 13. Not great, considering he only played 16 minutes. But, even after this game: he still has one of the highest, if not the highest, +/- per minute of anyone on our roster on the season.

We have talent. It is the small things we are not doing consistently. Or we are making some silly unforced errors

Ugh. I had completely blocked that game out of my memory.

Wild that Dra is the only active player to hear coach say those words just last year.
Shocked to have dgl as the only returning player. We gave up 100 points. We are not right there. He can say 10x doesn't make it true.

He didn't talk down to you. Did his best to not talk down to you.
Don't project what you did onto him.
You should apologize.
Ill hang up and listen.
All I did was be wrong.
I'm human and don't apologize for being so.
Take your big, white horse elsewhere.

Somewhat OT, but does anyone know for sure what the protected rivalries are for the basketball side of things (i.e., teams that are guaranteed two games vs. each other)? It's surprisingly difficult to find online, and the last list I found was from 2023 before we added the former Pac-12 schools:
Indiana-Purdue
Michigan-Michigan State
Illinois-Northwestern
Even if we assume USC-UCLA was added, that seems like a shockingly small list for an 18-team league. There is literally zero reason, for example, that we should not be playing Iowa twice per year. Poll both teams' fan bases, and I'll bet anything they would both pick each other as a protected rival.

I wasn't offended.

And closes by riding off on a big white snarky horse.
Still waiting for @WhiteHorseWings to chime in and ask how he got involved in this.

If only college had box scores like in the pros and included +/- stats for each player, we would not be having this math proofs debate on this page.
