No more “We’re a young team” excuse

[MCKnight2004]

Great progress and growth this season. But Next season I do not want to hear Pike say “we’re young” when things aren’t going well or we play a poor game. The two best players that log the most minutes will be a senior in Eugene and a junior in Baker. Myles and Docoure will actually be third year program guys, Kiss and Young will be a 4th year in college guy. Then all of the freshman basically played and started all season long for over 30 games. They’re now experienced sophomores. Time to grow up quick. Time is now

Hate to use facts but.... Playing time, they were the youngest team in the nation. So....

there are alot of young players especially in this league, those players leave and new ones plugged in

level of talent needs to get better but when frosh become upperclassmen and all stay together that will help to

no more excuses going forward

And if you're not recruiting lottery picks like the historical powers of this league do, Pikiell definitely needs to have continuity with solid players. It's the only way this program is going to get established.

For me this was the last building block season, next season is year one of the turnaround.

Got more wins than I expected this season, so that shows the process is moving. But that great feeling we had coming out of the garden last year isn’t there this year. Next season has to start strong and show more improvement.

Not going to beat anyone with 20 turnovers. Very immature basketball

No doubt. It's a big jump from competitive team to NCAA team.

There will be a new one next year.......That’s like people on online dating sites that put a huge burger in front of them when they take a picture and post it.....and that’s going to make me go out with your. That’s telling me you want a big meal and you won’t stop until you bleed me dry.....sorry got off topic there.....lol

We need guys that have some D1 skill sets and just have to gain experience. Of course, not being able to make open shots negates other things that we do well. Lots of things to fix, but now the staff can get to it.
