    Am I the only one who fucking cringes every time spado's golden boy Jerreau touches the ball? Guy is fucking terrible. He got a couple lucky baskets but missed quite a few jumpers that barely hit the backboard.

    I was waiting for them to choke the game away and I was surprised they showed some grit. I'm definitely in LIPO mode but Tim Floyd is a damn good coach and UTEP just beat Xavier, who always has solid teams. Definitely better than getting run out of the gym by Irvine and South Dakota. Time to sign Romar till 2026 so he doesn't lose recruits.

    he can shoot the midrange jumper, and isn't horrific from the line. But he can't finish around the basket to save his life, it's almost unreal how bad he is inside considering his size

    Utep played pretty poorly today though, I was more impressed when they were down 9 to LBSU and didn't fold.
    Look at LBSU's results so far, they aren't a bad team. beat KSU and Xavier, almost beat BYU, and Monson is a good coach, I know it's pretty pathetic when we're talking about 4-4 teams as being potentially good wins, but baby steps

    1 or 2 guys trying to play street ball while 3 other guys watch.

    He's soft. He's not completely useless. He's just been severely overrated by dipshits who are mesmerized that he was a guard in high school before a growth spurt. He probably was a really shitty guard.

    I would still rather have Jarreau than Gant. He's a taller version of Gant without the range.

    Take this shit to the shitty sport board.

    I kid. I can't bring myself to watch this shitty sport more than once or twice per year. It's all beneath me after coaching my 6th grade team to undefeated glory four years ago. I do like to keep up on things though.

    I wasn't a huge fan of gant either. Both were bench players really and it pissed me off that twice in 2011 he was taking the last shot (Cal and UCLA I believe)

    I vaguely remember losing my shit and getting yelled at for saying something along the lines of how the fuck does Darnell fucking Gant take the last shot after the Cal game.

    That was a fun game. They don't suck. It's too early to make any big proclamations, but it's obvious they are much better than the past two years.

    We'll know a lot more about this team after December. They passed the scrimmage games and got a trophy out of it, now they have two chances to get quality non-conf wins against SDSU (#15, almost beat Arizona) and Oklahoma. Drop em both, probably pretenders and miss the tourney again. Split em, LIPO but encouraging. Take em both, probably sitting at 12-0, ranked top 20 going into conference play and we no longer get bitched at for posting about basketball on the main board.
    Upvoted for the rest of your poast, but the team could be undefeated in February and we'd still get bitched at for poasting about basketball on the main bored.
