We need Evans to break out of his shooting slump.

4-12 FG
1-5 FG
2-8 FG

So, we are the same team at home and away? This is what you are implying?

Also, 39-0 in the last 39 home games... I think it’s fair to say, we’re a different team at home.

Personally I think if we win Sunday we’re a 2-3 seed and if we lose we’re a 4-5 seed

As for the conference tourney. I dunno about you guys but I’ll take the rest of winning a tourney that literally doesn’t count

We are not the sharpest coming into games after to long of a layoff. Need to at least get to conference championship game.

I think that's short-sighted. That's a very good accomplishment that our players can take with them forever. And if we win the regular season, it'd be awesome to do a victory lap in the tournament and sweep it. I'd like for each of our players to get at least 1 AAC Title, 1 AAC Tournament Title, and a Sweet 16 in a 4 year career. And that's a minimum. I feel like conference championships are underrated...it's easy for 95% of teams to dismiss it bc they didn't win. But for me personally, winning that kind of stuff validates your season. It gives you a real feat to point to. I remember last year Washington said he was glad that people were proud of the team, but they wanted more bc they didn't go home with anything. I want our players on cloud 9 going into the selection show. Nowhere they can ship us will get us down at that point.

I liked having these tough games at the end of the regular season to get us ready for March but it could also hurt the team. If they somehow end up not winning the title outright that could get in their heads and hurt the morale. Having a 3 game lead with 2 weeks left and blowing it could be disastrous.

when mick stalled us out tonight, our defense seemed to back off too. the energy was just zapped.
The one thing that distinguishes this team from Mick’s others is that they are good at running breaks. I did not see the Houston game but if they truly slowed things down deliberately I can see where that would be a problem.

We also kill teams at home and not so much at home. Saying we are the same at home and on the road may be the dumbest thing ever said on here. (If that’s what he was saying, still not sure)
