Marshall pulls a Turgeon in the postgame...

"I have no answers."

The upshot is that those of us who were worried that coach might bolt for SC don't have to worry. Can you imagine the AD of SC announcing:

"Fresh from a last place finish in the MVC, I'm proud to announce our new coach, Gregg Marshall."

BTW - Coach's voice sounds like Super Dave Osborne on the radio.

I could sure use a little Super Dave Osborne humor at the moment... might have to google up a couple later.

I'm totally let down. I thought for sure the news of matt playing would raise the guys enough to go out and "try" to get a win for him alone. "try" didnt even make an appearance tonight with the exception of matt and lance. To be honest matt didnt even have to really try... He just takes whats given to him and made his points look easy... BECAUSE THEY WERE!!! If just one other person on this team played with 2% of the inteligence that matt does we would at least be middle of the pack in the confrence. Totally unbelievable...

It was the worst half of basketball that HCGM has seen. Debacle. Dreadful.

[t7017s]

I would be so bummed that my teamates didnt give a rats ass tonight if I was matt. I can't even imagine what he feels like after that. You could tell he was frustrated as hell with the guys when he was asked about his 3 point shot before the half. You could tell the lack of effort he saw blew his mind.

[Zardoz]

We had a true point when Matt was in. No where to go with the ball though.

and what the hell is suppose to say at this point

Well, you could condemn him, much like others condemned Coach Turgeon.

The absolute worst time to interview a coach is after a loss and more particularly, after a dreadful loss.

I am sure that if coaches had a choice, they would not grant an interview with anyone, after a loss.

[SubGod22]

That was easily the worst half of basketball they've played all year. Absolutely brutal.

As far as Durley's return.....I wouldn't be shocked either way. He has a lot of potential but........Man he's frustrating.

As far as what non-seniors I would definitely want back. Ellis, Mekel, Clemente, Griskenas.

I would take and accept any of the others but that wasn't the question.

[t7017s]

I really thought matts return would be a rallying point for this team. I can't believe the team just let him down like that. They really just didnt give a damn tonight about anything let alone winning or trying to at least win one for matt. I can't even put into words how disheartening this was to watch tonight. I was heart broken for matt.

[ShockTalk]

I would agree Sub. Ellis normaly would not even be playing this year (redshirt), I'm good with Gris, love Ramon attitude and D (weak offensively), and Gal for experience in the backcourt (but I think he will be fighting for playing time with the three new backcourters). Those four, Hawk, the four current signees, plus at least two more new signees. The other two spots to additional signees or return players.

You don't give a senior his walking papers. I don't care how bad he sucks. Wendell may never see the court next year, but you don't send him packing.

What if Marty Gross could get him a scholly at Rice?

There is no way Gal is competing for PT next year should he return

I agree however lets hope his grades are good enough to where the school is paying for it.

That's an interesting argument. If that's the case and Wendell was down, I couldn't argue. If someone offered me a twice as prestigious degree and a chance to continue to play basketball, I'd probably take it. I was more concerned with the scenario where you send him to Pine Bluff, etc...

But that wasn't really the question as I read it. I'd never dismiss a SR unless there was good reason.

I'd definitely put Hawk on the list as well. He slipped my mind as he's on this team but just not able to play.

[SubGod22]

I will say I experienced better atmospheres than UE while officiating at the YMCA.
