Or are those only reserved for complaints? I give credit, the team was ready from opening play. This team has racked up some lopsided wins. They have to demonstrate they can beat the tougher competition. For now I will enjoy this win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it was a "last time Miami came into this building, they beat you in a conference tournament" motivator....whatever it was, it worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see more of these over the next 5-6 weeks. If they do, they can win the league. Getting production from Hardnett last game and skogman/fagan today can make this team very dangerous. Can't win with just 4 guys, but if they get the 5-9 guys playing well, look out! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should win our next 3 games. I will give all the credit in the world if this ends up being the catalyst for a win streak and hopefully a run in March. Until then, this is what we should do. Gone are the days where we accept mediocrity. High bar. We should've won today and we did. Awesome, truly. But we can't rest on that. No let downs. That will be the next test. Go Bulls! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still 0-6 Against teams greater than .500 He finishes the final 5 against the top 4 seeds and need to not go 1-4 in those games to change anyone’s mind. they also haven’t beaten a single kenpom 150 team (0-5) Edited February 7, 2021 by NYS Bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is ok to enjoy the victory and to acknowledge that the team played well from start to finish yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It seems that they have found a starting 5 for once in segu, graves, williams, hardnett and mballa Now to just find the the 3 to 4 bench guys that can provide meaningful minutes Hopefully what skogman showed today is just the beginning of his development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this board isn't high on Nickelberry, but I actually think he has been much better this season than last year. In fact, in the Ball State game he hit a very big three in the second half as Ball State was cutting the lead down to 10. He's not going to be a star or anything, but he provides some decent minutes off the bench. I really want Brewton to get going. He seems like a good kid that provides some energy out there, he just hasn't shot it like we saw him do at Coastal. Anyway, as mentioned it seems like a rotation is being set and that is good news.

He’s insanely inconsistent, we’ve seen flashes of him being what we thought he would be. Have no clue why he’s not dominant though, former 4 star out of HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
