Technically, we still have a shot to win the national championship.

Yeah, but I didn’t predict that!

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Looks like you and Green Rice nailed it

Not exactly...I had this result if 2 things happened. Wasnt a buy in AND their efficiency was bad.

Ace and Dylan's offensive efficiency was better than expected. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever expected the defense to be this BAD AND the 0-4 with the transfers. Dercack being downright bad on D after winning the defensive player of the year was totally unexpected. Now if I digged deeper and saw that he played zone I might think it was remotely possible, but not this.

I WOULD ARGUE ACUFF WAS A + TRANSFER I THINK HE HAS BEEN PRETTY EFFECTIVE LATER HERE IN THE SEASON THE INJURY JUST DERAILED WHAT HIS PRODUCTIVITY WOULDVE BEEN EARLY ON

I told you they were a 1 year rental that wouldn't play defense

I am talking about the entire team when i talk about defense. Did Ace and Dylan buy in? I can't say YES.

 

[Mholinko]

YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON

sorry to bother you with it the programs i use at work require i be in caps lock for it to recognize anything... is that okay with you?

No And they weren't made to. That was already decided before September

Heh it’s fine but IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE YELLING

Duke's freshman definitely go at it on the defensive end. It didn't have to be like this.

Harper came in knowing how to play defense as he appears to be well coached in HS. Ace definitely not.

Neither have gotten themselves in the cardiovascular shape necessary. Both were hurt early so that definitely had an impact.

Not happening

You think Pike set the rules?

i think it is pretty easy to see ace was not coached up a lot and has gotten by on street ball and pure ungodly athleticism
