[quote="MJDinkins" post=373717][quote="Class of 72" post=373714]I'm sure you all are disappointed with the loss. Well not all, especially those still having flashbacks to the great games played during the last staff's debacle.
After all, those delusional folks think that finally being the last team invited to the tourney last season where they were quickly dispatched back to reality was the defining moment of the Mullin era. Those teams played like absolute crap for 4 long years. That level of bad play is not evident even by this outmatched team.
While we lost to the Hall because of the play of one of the best guards in college basketball, we lost to Marquette because of Marcus Howard who will soon become the leading scorer in college basketball history. He was the difference maker plain and simple.
Our paucity of talented guards is on full display. Our middle has a big hole as well.
We start Dunn and Rutherford in the backcourt. Combined they were useless against a player of Howard's quality. In the middle we start Roberts who has so many splinters on his ass from not playing under the last coaching imposters he is doing his best but obviously he is not starting material at present. Marcellus had a bad game tonight but unfortunately he has to overwork to make up for Caraher and his shortcomings. Steere must have a 4 minute guaranteed time contract that affects his defense.
The fact is all we got is Figueroa and Heron and neither is having a memorable season. But there are more games to play. So, we should applaud our players and coaches for making almost every game winnable which was unheard of with the last regime.[/quote]
By the way, Markus Howard won't ever become the all-time leading scorer in college basketball. He's a long ways off from making that possible, and it won't happen unless he had another season (which he doesn't).[/quote]
Gotta love 72’s late night posts lol
