Maybe we were overrated, but we were still poised for a high seed...

And thus a "probable" win in round 1 and a decent shot in round 2 and 3.

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.

Seriously? Coincidence that we dropped CH & picked up SK; dropped Lowell & pickd

When one dot is on page 2 & the other one is on page 29 — probably not supposed

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

SinkingQuffa

He was more mobile then, and crafty.

Two 6’10” Jrs, one w/ 3PG% of 37% the other 39%; 1 has a much higher TO rate

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.

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