i was not excited about the hire in the first place due to having no college coaching experience. Matta and Fife gave me hope. that didn't work out. i have liked the alumni reaction and feel around the program, but just feel like it's clear we need a proven winner at the college level. that said, i can't imagine them firing Woodson after this season. i know things are much different than the old days, but discipline should matter. on the court and off the court. accountability can make a big difference. this season leaves not much choice with no one ideally suited to play the 3. every minute with 3 guys who should be playing the 4 or 5 on the floor together is going to be painful to watch offensively. the even more scary thing is whether he seems ready or not, Ware will be gone. he's a 7 footer with skills. potential. still have a feeling that Mtaco won't be back one way or the other. it's just not working. i do agree that if he were back and played the 4 with McNeeley at the 3 and Reneau at the 5, we'd have a decent start, but we need experienced guards who know how to play the game right and that can shoot.

getting a little scary Scott. we agree on this, short bench, and needing to handle XJ more harshly than what will be done.

good to have someone take ownership.

this is the thing. it is very predictable.

my guess would be Ware still goes based on potential and that if Mtaco does not, he transfers. i could definitely be wrong, but the way kids are these days, i could see him blame the coaches/system for not getting him to 1 and done.

thanks Scott

love that scene!

not sure why i get singled out, but all i'm saying is, don't go crazy after this loss, then come back after we beat MN at home and be all excited. this is where we are. sucks. not gonna fire Woodson, but we ain't they guy. X is not the leader we need. the offcourt crap and oncourt crap matter. i'll always watch and cheer on our team, but dang this sucks.

tough to say between Ware and Reneau

This!!! Don't come at me for not being optimistic tomorrow my brutha.

just wait until we blow MN out at home. people will get all excited.

please let him know Scott. i don't think there's any way they fire Woodson, but we need proven winners in college bball. May, Pearl, Beard, etc. (i know you love Beard)

okay. sorry. i might have exaggerated. i think you get the point, right?

all i ask is for everyone to not get mad at me when i don't get excited about beating MN at home in our next game. don't tell me how great X is. how great Woodson is. that we'll make the tourney. etc, etc.

God bless. love your optimism.

i remember when most of this board said all of our problems were solved and i should be positive after we beat an unranked OSU team at home.

we are seriously 3-12 from FT line?

i don't know why people don't think all of X's actions over the last couple years don't add up. people say reckless driving and resisting arrest was no big deal. all of the cheap shots are no big deal. complaining about every call. was he part of the windy city crew?

then everyone will freak out until we have another home game.

we rarely agree Scott, but we have always agreed about the starters needing to play more minutes.

sucks that we need him so bad. we do though.

unfortunately that is more the norm than the exception

part of that is having 3 post players on the court at the same time

Mtaco can shoot. he has so much potential.

hard to imagine us scoring with a lineup of sparks, walker, banks, gunn, x
