Can’t argue with health. Sucks. But he was on three winning teams and improved every year. The three transfer guards we brought in may have been better than Greg in one area or the other (debatable!) but their warts on the court made it close to impossible for this group to stay consistent and find its rhythm. You never had to take Greg out because he was turning it over or because he was lost on D or because the other team gave him 5 feet of space to shoot. I never blamed CMA for the transfers last year, but always stated the transfers, Greg especially, were going to be much harder to replace on the court than on paper.

I'm just sharing this because I find it interesting, not because I'm saying i didn't want to keep or we didn't need Greg.
But this year, he dropped down a level and his numbers went down across the board, including MPG. Even his 3 point shooting was down to 32% when last year it was 44%. I know he had injuries this year, but he also had injuries last year, and played in less games.

Bryan Trimble’s Akron team winning by 11 tonight in second half and could dance. Unfortunately Bryan was placed on leave by his coach several weeks ago and not expected back this season. It sounds like a disciplinary issue

I think any of the guys who transferred out , would have helped us this year . Moore maybe not but , not for BB reasons . The fact of them transferring down is to me irrelevant . They would have had 3 years under CMA ‘s system and that would have helped . Wheeler , Soriano , Smith , Coburn , Mathis all had to learn a difficult system . It took time and still fell short on so many occasions . The guys who transferred out all had to learn their new team’s system too . So downplaying their accomplishments isn’t fair either .

Congrats to former SJU asst coach Jim Whitesell (HC) at Buffalo winning his conference tourney and dancing in the NCAA’s. I believe it’s his first appearance as HC after going several times as an Asst.

They lost. They're not dancing.

Omar Cook - last game
That's funny when these guys say they are staying in the draft and they have no shot. I'd have a lot more respect for those that just say they are looking to explore pro options and not tie it to NBA or draft when they are not even on NBA radar at the moment
Good luck to Vince Cole. Seemed like a good kid who had a nice year for Coastal Carolina, averaging 15 ppg on 39% from three and 80% from the line. Suspect he'll find a spot overseas when all is said and done and wish him all the best.
Best of luck to Aaron , a good kid who really made the most out of his transfer year. First half of the season was a bust but once he and the staff figured it out he was great and exceeded all expectations. Would have loved to see him come back for another season and a good chance he would have been All BE but I fully understand and support his decision and wish him the best of luck in his future ventures. I hope we read about him for a long time.
