Come on folks, Evans has shown nothing this year on offense. ZIp, nada. When he actually made a jumper last game I nearly fainted. But, as usual, it was his only FG. Has no moves to basket and when he, by necessity, has to pull up and launch an 8 footer he always misses. I love him, too, as...

Somehow I doubt it. Schmidt has already, just a few days ago, stated his preference to keep two ships open. I'd say he'd give up one more if it's one of the most prized recruits already offered but not for a "practice/morale" guy with zero future.

Would play even less--if such a thing possible--but would be available for momentum-changing technicals. Actually, wouldn't be terrible if Shaw returned--need one more big for foul trouble and injury situations and at least he knows the system. Would really round out squad if they don't use...

actually has two in pocket now so could use one--but probably won't (too many guys on bench, he has said). But could use another big man, team too guard-oriented right now....

Hey, maybe you need the Vitamin D. How do you read what I wrote as a knock on Schmidt. I was pointing out that this was probably the most obvious game all year where no bench was apparent and nearly crucial. I was also noting that the one player some point to as a plus and should get more...

Yesterday's game showed again how terrible the bench is--and I've criticized Schmidt myself for not using them more--but only on those several games when he could have done so when we were up 15 points or near the end, and he fails to do it. But I'd bet virtually every other major team in the...

Re: Lofton. Good player but has not progressed. He is not even close to all A10 now--just look at the other guards in the league and Bones is latest to outplay him. Appreciate him but best not to overrate him (which also overrates the team). Lot of work to do for both. The technical and...

I did not mention that John is also a fantastic singer--always was, as kid--and when we'd drive home from Bonas he would sing along with radio, a real favorite was "Happy Together" where he bested the Turtles....lately he has made a couple of self-made CDs and posted a bunch of songs on...

Another reason to get some body off the transfer portal...I was there for the original "Iron Man 5" and believe me--maybe it can work--if you have a Lanier...and back then no back to back to back tourney games.....

What is latest on Roberts? I see him spoken of in past tense now like he is gone for year. I said early on there was an untold story beyond uncle, seems to be true but mystery continues? Anything beyond Schmidt saying not expected back soon? Can't be just not enough playing time--had been...

What a comeback...D the key...spectacular D

A win is a win but, again, struggling to beat, at home, a mediocre team which just lost its two best players. The problem with saying "we are not yet hitting on all cylinders" is--are you sure about those cylinders? Many good players have off-years, for entire year, with their 3-point or...

Don't want Vazquez leaving but he's still a negative out there, so you may need to balance "keep him happy" with "god, I can't look." Today he had his usual couple buckets and in-between heaved up two 25 footers with the shot clock at 20, and made other errors. Except for the "keep him happy"...

Is Welch sitting out too? Seems like it. Has regressed all season...

Roberts out for "personal reasons"....disciplinary? transfer portal?

Sure Lock Holmes

Go to the transfer portal, plenty of big men and eligible. Quality is another matter but you can see their history. Others have said that at least a couple of them SBU offered or scouted heavily, in any case familiar with several at least.

That's not true, there are plenty at the transfer portal labeled "immediately eligible." I don't know if always true or just post-Covid, as some teams had to cancel seasons etc. so they liberalized the transfer rules...

A great week at home to bring in a big man transfer as 10th man, but presume Schmidt won't do it. Will bite us later, or sooner.

Right, not looking for a new Lanier, just another Shaw type. Shaw has been erratic but would love another like him as #10 man. Going to be needed, you just know it. And as for claim that this is nothing new--when was last time roster had only 2 players over 6'5"?
