and NIL. I think that may be our best bet, but it might not work with the current environment if guys leave before/after developing them.

My view of Mark Pope's tenure, trajectory, and where we are today. First, IMO,

All possible. But his continual late game rotations and collapses to losses suck

If Knight for Harding had been a deal I'd have been for it. It wasn't, though.

Great analogy, page 2 vs 29 - both playing the same position, in same season

And one was released following an often career-ending injury — OVER a year

Lowell and Waterman are very different types of players..

icecougar

1/25/23 12:25am

That seems to be true. Lowell has surely never handled the ball as well as Noah

We didn't drop Lowell and pick up Waterman..

The lack of timeout usage to change momentum is a head scratcher.

This was a problem with Dave Rose also

Also - inbounds plays. Please Pope, get a handle on this. It has lost us at least one game. No excuse.

#1 seems to be the conviction on CB, but I don’t think a deep run was so certain

Yep losing to SMC does not say deep tourney run. Maybe one win
