Message: [QUOTE="FireballPhil, post: 4527998, member: 553"] 12-6 only sucks because of how we got here. Started the year with a bunch of games we thought were cupcakes. We have a team full of freshmen going up in many cases third and fourth year guys. We have won a few games that we easily could have lost, but the fact is the guys didn't lose their composure and choke those games away-although there were a few I thought I was gonna choke with some late game bad decisions. In the mean time take a look at records all around college basketball. The Big 12 by far seems to have by record the deepest conference, after that you can call it a coin toss between the Mountain West and SEC. Every other conference has very few teams with less than 6 losses. Top 25 rankings have always been a joke. It's great when your team is on it, but there is always plenty of room to argue who should really be on it. Just because some guys on TV tell you who should be doesn't make it so. This team is constantly improving, and JB has started narrowing his bench like he does every year. It isn't near as noticeable as in past years, but there has definitely been a change in the pecking order. It is great we have some good depth, even though they are young. The only player on this team I remotely worry/wonder about is-just like most others-Benny. He reminds me of Quincy. Not necessarily in what he has shown he can do, but in what he wants to do. Quincy transferred to play farther away from the basket and it isn't working as well for him as he had planned. We need Benny to play closer to the basket-work inside out- similar to what Brown does for us. In games he does this he shines. But his unwillingness to mix it up has hurt him and Brown has almost taken over his spot. Once we play some of the "better" teams in the ACC we will see where we are at. But the young guys can play some ball and are showing it more and more. Hope for the best, expect the worst, and continue to root for them to learn and grow each game. There isn't much reason we can't get good enough to make a run through the ACC tourney. [/QUOTE]
