Although his shot selection and defense is often atrocious, I've actually been encouraged by Massoud's potential over last few games. Specifically, he has taken it to the rim on a few occasions. Granted, he is so weak he either misses or gets rejected. But, weakness/toughness can be fixed...

Glad to see Carter Whitt have his best game to end the season. 12 pts, 7 assists, 1 turnover is stellar, plus the stones to take (and hit) the tying shot. He whipped a few incredible passes tonight.

This might sound weird, but this morning I was thinking of your MTOH column/dog story (mine is 16 and nearing the end) and randomly thought about how your work brings value to my life. I sort of chuckled because it seemed weird to me to think that some random sports writer contributes to joy in...

With Wolford/Hartman, one of the staples of the RPO with delayed handoff was pulling the ball out super late and firing a slant across middle when linebackers cheat to stop run or perhaps hit TE leaking out downfield. That is one of first plays on the Tulane video someone posted earlier of...

Hoard does need to increase the intensity factor---too often a bit careless and soft with the ball. Some of it I think is just that he doesn't express much emotion. He was crashing boards pretty hard tonight and is averaging close to 16 and 8 despite Manning having no concept of how to utilize...

Seems to me that contract extensions are given for one of 2 possible reasons. 1) the coach is doing great and could be picked off so you want to lock him in by giving a raise and making sure there is a buy-out to make it harder for other teams to steal him away, or 2) coach is nearing end of...

"just got to keep taking steps and stacking days". I mean, are we really supposed to believe this crap during YEAR 5! As if every other team isn't taking steps and stacking days. Pathetic to be in this position in Year 5. Listening to Clawson during the Cotton Bowl broadcast and listening to...

Normally one would interpret this as hyperbole, but sadly enough its really true. I used to think he was just bad at press conferences and liked to keep things close to chest (since he never has said anything substantive regarding strategy etc in 5 years) but unfortunately he just can't...

Agree---can't fire him soon enough. He literally is the worst in-game coach. I absolutely hate watching our team play like shit and watching all the coaches sit on side line with pouty looks their faces with zero energy. Hard not to see why everyone leaves early....

My guess is that those people expected Moore and Crawford (but especially Moore) to be back. If we had Moore on this team it would probably look dramatically different. Our post play has been pathetic and the reason why we are not blowing our these terrible teams. Well that, plus the fact...

Main thing that stood out negative were Childress with 2 turnovers in last few minutes---that just can't happen nursing a lead with a few minutes left. But, he has been pretty good overall, particularly shooting it. Not a ton to quibble with Manning---maybe leaving Lewis in a bit long and...

That is the hard part---shooting the 3 for him isn't necessarily a bad shot. I just think if that is all he does he is going to average 8-10 points and have games where is he a nonfactor since its predicated upon others setting up the shot. That was fine for someone like Wilbeken last year who...

Couple thoughts: 1. Brown needs to start taking it to the rim. Had wide open lane and content to jack 3’s. Waste of his body, finishing ability and ft skills. Disappointed he just hangs out at 3pt line. 2. Wright is way better than I expected. 3. Hoard is a tough matchup and stresses...

Kind of painful to watch these no defense sort of games, but he clearly has athleticism and can play above the rim. Looks to have a good handle, easily gets to rim, and finishes with either hand pretty smoothly. Certainly has had some exposure so makes one wonder why not ranked/recruited...

I guess the premise is that Manning is either a major a-hole or its terribly painful to play on a team that is not winning--either way, better to cut and run to g-league or overseas. Hard to argue that this is not factoring into the decision. Its certainly common for people to feel like grass...

Very true. For record, I don't actually want Doral to fail--I hope he is correct, gets drafted, and kills it in NBA and life in general. Why posting on message boards can be a problem. Seems like a nice kid. It will be a great story of someone who believed in themselves against apparent odds...

Lets not pretend 35k is a lot of money. You can make that delivering pizzas (or so it said on my papa johns box). That will qualify you for Medicaid if you have a family. Lots of non-athletes think college is hard and can’t wait to get out—than they get smacked by the real world. I think the...

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but I hope he fails. I've rooted for each and every Wake player who left early, but I can't root for stupidity.

Things that stuck out to me watching Hoard: 1. He can grab the defensive rebound and start the break himself. 2. He looked comfortable guarding wings on the perimeter 3. When Team USA went zone, he set up on high post and made them pay for it 4. He was a surprisingly good passer---on...

Anything could happen, but rational thought says they will be back unless some team falls in love. What would you rather do, make 25k in the G-league living in some random city and playing in front of high school sized crowds with nobody nationally caring or play in the ACC in major stadiums on...
