Re: How to help Edwards

Joe Legerski had a great quote in today's paper about defense; something about not over-pursuing, toes on the three point line, etc... pretty much the exact opposite of the Cowboy's defense.

Re: Random Thoughts on the UCSB Loss

The crowd was overwhelmingly (as overwhelming as 3500 people can be) in support of Banks; I think it was that obvious to everyone in attendance who our PG should be moving forward.

Re: Random Thoughts on the UCSB Loss

Hendricks/Banks >> Redding/Mueller Banks looked soooo much better than Redding last night in his abbreviated minutes, but appeared to make one defensive mistake, got chewed out, and never saw the floor again. Great move there, Edwards. Does Redding have some dirty laundry on you or something? WW

Re: Men's Basketball Future Roster changes?

That would leave 4 open scholarships for this signing period. I would get two bigs, one PG and the other would be the best available. One of those bigs has to be a contributor, and the PG should be a contributor as well. This team lacked leadership this year, and there was no one out on the floor w...

Re: So sick of mediocre...

You guys are all wishing for a big when we have no one to handle the ball. We are at least 2 years out, and that is if our recruiting and player development is outstanding.

we're in trouble. I'm being optimistic.

Re: 2017 - 2018 UW Mens Team

Pretty unfair to judge AE recruiting yet. Just to be fair. Except, as pointed out earlier, he's been here. He is not coming in cold, and was likely responsible for much of the recruiting done during Shyatt's tenure. I don't think recruiting is the major issue at this point, anyway. We've got (or ha...

Yet another good game last night, with praise from both the announcers and his teammates, including props from Lebron specifically.

Re: Tony Romo!!! You gotta be kidding me

Romo is amazing. A team somewhere has to be looking at him as an offensive coordinator/QB coach because the pre-snap calls he makes, both from a defensive alignment standpoint and what the offense is going to do about it is incredible.

Re: No more Gorski please

Maldonado and Adams should be the only options at the wing at this point, but if Edwards' use of McManimal last year is any indication, He'll ride Gorski all the way to another CBI this year.

Re: Wyoming @ Nevada

We just never seem to shoot well (or even average) on the road. Nevada looked beatable against New Mexico the other night, however, so we've definitely got a chance.

Re: Northern Colorado

Our defense was simply atrocious. The first five 3's in a row that we gave up were virtually uncontested. I'm not sure what the philosophy would be called, but it looks like "Give the shooter a huge cushion, then run like crazy to try and contest the shot." When our defender blows by the p...

Yup.

I don't know the reason (not what I get paid to do), but 125/129 with what is projected to be an NFL quarterback is unacceptable.

Re: POLL: IF you decide not to go to Boise, why?

Too far to drive, too expensive to fly; plus, if I'm going to spend vacation time around Christmas, it's going to be somewhere fun, warm, or both.

Re: Cayman Islands Tourney

If the threes are wide-ass open and you are a good shooter, you've got to put it up. Hitting a few threes will force the defense to come out and guard, opening up the lane for our slashers. Our slashers seem to be much more adept at getting into the lane and getting a good shot up this year.

I disagree; if there is any way Josh plays this week, he will.

He has a score to settle/point to prove against Fresno State.

Re: Looks inevitable that..

It all depends on if Josh Allen is healthy.

ESPN has a serious crush on him, and, if he is playing, I think we get one of the more prominent bowl games. If not, Boise here we come!
