15-2, #20, top of the AAC. Whether you like Mick or not, team is in a good spot and still have a lot of room to get better, let's enjoy the process that is the season.

This is a huge fail Jacob

Happy to see what has happened
Let's move on from this ugly game. It happens multiple times a year to many teams. You win and move on.

Jesus this thread is a giant cluster. Haven't read it all, but I've read enough.

1. 15-2 is pretty, pretttay, pretttay good. Really setting the team up for a solid resume and seed.

2. ECU is even worse than I thought. Good lord are they bad or what. I'd rather watch 5th grade girls b-ball than ECU play vs a random D1 team. That team is just abysmal.

3. Our defense might be getting even better and have a ceiling we've not hit yet. I really think they can get even better with a few more games of M2Man.

4. Our offense is so weird. I do think it's our most talented/skilled offensive team in Mick's tenure but we're the definition of "meh.". Lot of areas to get better in, but outside of the nights the team just gets hot from 3 (like the SMU game) we're always gonna have stretches where we struggle to get good looks and score. I haven't been able to find it for CBB, but in the NBA they track #of shots that count as wide open (No defender within 6feet). My eyes swear we have to be pretty bad in this department, but without the data it's hard to know.

5. All the talk about any team being "SW 16" or E8 or F4 contender is mostly hot air. Luck plays such a large role in the tournament that pretty average teams are more than capable of making the SW16 or further with the right draw and a few lucky bounces.


6. I can still be a die-hard fan and be disappointed in the team's performance @ECU, think a lot has to improve, be excited with what the team has accomplished, and not think the offense will improve. None of these are mutually exclusive.

Ugly game. Move forward, take the W and don't look back. Need to get Evans back on track. He seems to be tense out there. Nervous for the scouts maybe? One positive may be by playing a good shot blocker, we have some experience for UCF. Last year we handled Fall fine, he did disrupt us some but didn't play a lot of minutes. It did seem the whole team just about was tired. Wonder if more than Troy is under the weather.
