Isnt that the point of the "role playing bench players" to play a role? well his role is supposed to come give quality minutes when Gary is tired or in foul trouble
He had 4 turnovers in 4 minutes. That is not typical from Scott. That is why he came out and that is why it was a bad game.

I'm fixed on 1 part bc you keep defending it. Mississippi Valley State is ranked 351. Trevon Scott couldn't get 1 of their 13 scholarships? But as a SO he can get double digits minutes on a Top 15 team? I won't move on until this is addressed. This is your sh*tty take. Take it back and we can continue.

Our ceiling is very high if we can somehow get these things done. Two of these things are easily addressed. One of them was addressed in the 2nd half last night. Another is as simple as waiting for an ankle to heal. Even if for some reason Cane doesn't start I think we all saw last night we will take 20-25 minutes of Cane over not having him in there.

The Cumberland issue is a head scratcher.
I don't think anyone questions the ceiling of the the team. I think people are questioning the actual play we have seen in some of these games.

Right. Cumberland is off. We turn it over too much. Cane needs more minutes. That was my post....that's what needs fixed IMO.

The bolded part is how I know for a fact that you're just talking out of your ass. Not good.

Cronin's livelihood revolves around evaluating players and using them when he sees fit. I'm going to pull one from Waite's book and assume he's more qualified to make the call on Scott than the guy who doesn't even think he'd ride the bench at Mississippi Valley. Have a nice day. You aren't worth my time.

this is a stupid fixation on your part. the guy is making the point that scott sucks at basketball - to go after the mechanism of the statement for its specifics is stupid pedantry.

You don't need 5 scorers on the court at all times. That is a luxury that few teams have when you also have to use the bench.

We had a unique situation last night with 2 bigs out and Cane being injured. You can't sit guys on the bench wondering if or when this will happen again. Plug and play as required.

I mentioned it once and then I continued to say hes bad and hes awful...so you are the one still stuck on the least important thing ...There are much more important things to worry about other than is he good enough to play on 1 of the 352 division 1 basketball teams....

Hes not a role player on a team that will make a run in march. unless that role is playing 3-5 minutes

Agree, but had we lost it certainly could have been.

A win is a win and I'm just glad the foul didn't cause us to go into OT. Temple will not make the tourney. The broadcasters last night mentioned possibility of 6 teams from AAC making NCAA's...they must be high.

Wichita, UC, SMU and Houston. Maybe UCF if they can get some wins versus prior mentioned four teams.
