Re: As a fan I am tired of getting my heart broken and unrealistic hype

Gor, you are a very good and respected poster. However, on the blow by hand shake, Self snookered you. The handshakes in Ahearn and Allen were identical. Self really needs to be called out for either a poor memory or for being disingenuous. Hey xtra, I have been sick the last few days so haven't be...

Re: As a fan I am tired of getting my heart broken and unrealistic hype

Bill Self is a cryin' elitist just like Rodney Terry whining about the "horns-down" sign. Self just wants all to bow down to him.....what a bunch of b.s. Tang's handshake was no different than what Self did in MHK earlier this season. I am not bashing Tang at all. The thing at ISU puzzled me. I'd l...

Re: As a fan I am tired of getting my heart broken and unrealistic hype

Just a comment about Perry. He has been excellent in his role this year. And a lot of it was as point guard. Teams have been doubling him every time he has the ball the entire Big 12:season. He has done a good job getting the ball to others, avoiding traps, etc. even with DNGs man with two feet in t...

Re: As a fan I am tired of getting my heart broken and unrealistic hype

Yeah, I get what you are saying. This has been a tough year and a lot of it stems from listening to things Coach Tang has said and as a result, getting your hopes up because we are fans. When you are told that Tylor Perry is the best shooter in the country and then for much of the season he can't m...

Re: As a fan I am tired of getting my heart broken and unrealistic hype

I was hoping for a top half league finish. Did not get it done but being hard to judge how being without two high minute guys in Tomlin and Glover impacted the results. I expect we make tournament if we have either one of those guys. Having Tang set high goals is not an issue to me. But after we los...

Re: Baylor dehorns Longhorns

Texas Terry said... We’ve played one of the hardest schedules in the country. Have we had a stumble here or there, just like every other team in this league has? Yeah, we’ve had that. But we’re one of the best teams in the country. We can play with anybody.” :shock: My wife and I watched that game....

Re: Cat fight today live from Cincinnati

I wish Massoud would have stayed. We could have pulled Kaluma for a spell. There will no real rotational piece for Arthur. Massoud is making 28% from 3 in con play for Georgetown. Total of 6 points and 6 rebounds in the last 5 games where he totaled 68 minutes. Has a truly terrible defensive rating...

Re: N'Guessan

Guess I would not expect high school freshman to have good shot selection, not to turn the ball over and to play good defense. Thats why they need to be coached. By the end of the year they should be better at those things. We did not have AAU ball when I grew up and none of us had team basketball ...

Re: N'Guessan

knight said back in the 90s that the growing influence of shoe companies and aau basketball on youngsters was bad for the game. he always wanted to deal with the high coach not some for-money intermediary. I had to constantly remind my freshmen this season that there were six freshmen ahead of them...
