It's time to play for the future

lol. another frank martin reference. you guys need to get over cheatin' frank or go defend him on the usc,e boards where he's probably catching hell these days.

again, competitors don't give up anything, any game, any win, any season. to do that sends every possible wrong message throughout the program.

Cash it in before the conference even starts. Good idea. NOT! Although I’m not sure what we we are doing when we waste scholarships on walk-ons. Go out and find someone that could potentially play in case a couple guys get hurt.

I'm over Martin, he's gone and I don't care what he does elsewhere. You're still obsessed with him and instead of embracing the future you're desperate to cling to the idea that this team and Weber are not due for a down season. Embrace reality

Go throw a couple games of darts at your board with Frank Martin's face on it, that'll cheer you up

LMFAO!!!!!!!! That would be funny even if were aimed at me.

if you're over cheatin' frank do us all a favor and stop bringing his name up, okay dude.

I will reiterate my belief that the main goal of this season should be getting the underclassmen as much experience as possible. This team isn't making the NIT the way it is currently constructed.

Agreed, and that is pretty much what’s happening. They are getting good minutes. Once Murphy is back, I think he’ll get as many minutes as he’ll want.

He was actually getting more minutes than anyone else.

Oh my! Frank is back. And so is calling other posters "dude". That's the internet version of flipping someone the bird.

I think the freshmen will get plenty of minutes, and I'm OK with what they are receiving right now. It was puzzling the other night though that our freshman "star" D.Gordon only saw 10 minutes. What's up with that?

I think there's a danger of the freshmen getting too many minutes. If that happens, they'll likely fade at the end of the season.

Playing freshmen, and counting on them to develop expanded roles is NOT tanking the season. It seems like the logical thing to do.

Also, one last thing on posters calling out other poster's competitive nature. Leave it alone. We know very little about each other, so don't project based on one post. Chill ......

What would Frank do? Play the frosh.









Just joking .

Weber made a quick post game remark about maybe D. Gordon could've played more. I think the strategy was to let the more experienced players try to pull one of these games out finally. Didn't work. Perhaps instead of wasting possessions throwing the ball into the paint, or driving it to the paint, D. Gordon could have nailed a couple of shots, on drives, 3's or put backs on those bunnies we missed down the stretch. We either find a newcomer who can be an offensive threat or we have a very poor season, IMHO. I say this not because our veterans are poor offensive players. Mike, Cartier, Xavier can all score. Mak can even score at times. I say this because we simply need one more serious offensive threat to take pressure off these other guys when defenses try to neutralize X, Mike and Cartier. It doesn't have to be D. Gordon, even though it seems to me he is the best option, it could be Sloan. I really believe Sloan can make some noise on the offensive end if we can spread the defense.
