Re: 2024 Utah State Basketball Transfer Portal Offers

Lot of "cools" on that list.

Re: Great Osobor

So all that talk about Calhoun being chosen cause it’ll keep the team together was bull$hit. That he would keep Haslam and Brown on staff, also bull$hit.

Re: Head Coaches that we should consider

I like the coaches at Indiana State (Josh Schertz age 46) and Samford (Bucky Mcmillan age 40). Both are young, but have had success and both have top 10 offenses. Indiana state got robbed out of a bid, but should have had one and Samford dang near beat Kansas.

Re: Keys to beating TCU:

Decided to review our losses for commonalities. You have some thing right, but it really boils down to defense and how we shoot. 1. Great Osobor NEEDS to make free throws. He will be a mismatch and he will get TCU into foul trouble. 63.3 percent FT shooter is what he is. It will be in that range. He...

Re: What do you think the "formula" is that MWC good teams have found?

There are 269 teams shooting a higher 3 point percentage than we are at 31.7 percent. Our lack of shooting is allowing teams cover the pick and roll easier by just sagging off to go under it, since our shooters can't shoot. A really sharp cut on the pick as Coach mentioned does help solve that, but ...
