Still a long way to go, but I’m liking the trend!!!
Sole possession of First place
- Thread starter altshauf
- Start date
This season is going to be a grind for whoever wins the league. Everybody is pretty good and there are no easy games.having the tournament in Huntsville should be a big advantage for us.
"I’m not convinced having two point guards on the floor at the same time will win us a championship."
"I don't see Weston having a good year this season."
"We are kidding ourselves if we are expecting anything more than a 500ish kind of year. There's nothing to indicate that this team is improved or can challenge for a title."
"Doesn't matter what [McDevitt] knows or thinks. Freshman or senior, the talent just isn't there."
"With what has been experienced in the past I think most would be surprised with a winning year."
"Look at the roster, this is the most obvious mercenary squad in the history of mercenary squads... Team will struggle to stay above .500"
"This is just a wasted year..."
"Hilarious if you think the players he brought in will actually come off the bench and do anything."
"The new transfers brought in are not even close to being enough to get this team over the hump."
"...bookmark all you want. I'll bookmark it too and we can gladly bump this after another failure of a season."
"Well as this league continues to get weaker maybe he will begin to have success."
"I don't see any transfers coming in that will do anything meaningful."

I like this team more and more every game. We have all been frustrated, discouraged, etc in previous years and understandably so. But we are legit this year. Size, experience, and depth.
Was thinking last night, if we fall short in the conference tournament and go to the NIT, do we consider that a successful season?

Justified frustration, agreed. I tried to warn people...
2/3 conference season left. Anything could happen, certainly, but they've put themselves into a great spot 6 conference games in.
This conference is tough though. Every game, home or away, can't be taken for granted as we saw UTEP and NMSU lose games they "should've" won. I still reasonably see anyone winning three games at Huntsville in March.

I wouldn't hate it. I like getting home games in the NIT.
I generally like the depth we have, but would like to see Land and Oglesby to get healthy and everyone stay healthy. Does anyone know why Alston only played 7 minutes at SHSU? With Land out in recent games I've been pleased with his contribution, but his minutes and lack of points last night has me worried for the rest of season going forward.
I would consider Oglesby out for the remainder of the season. Pure speculation on my part -- I think NM likes where the backcourt depth is and sees no reason to rush him onto the floor and use a year of eligibility when you already have 4/5 players playing quality ball.
Alston just didn't have "it" last night, in my opinion. Sloppy rebounding night for the team (would've really run away with it if we get 3 D Reb in the final 2 minutes, but gave them 5 second chance points), and that's Alston's bread-and-butter. Mainly he couldn't guard Wilkerson or Boykin off screens where Johnson and Bufford excel at being defensively versatile. It boils down to the matchup and, to your point on depth, we've seen minutes get traded like crazy throughout the season based on matchups. Very important in March.
