Not having a strong big is going to ruin our season. That and the free throws

We don’t need a big, we need TWO bigs for next year. We are way guard heavy right now.

Aubin is solid back up on this team but not the primary big guy.

I agree. I've said this many times. Templin is our only strong big and we are thin in the post.

I think all of us would trade Stosic/Housley for the Welling bros right about now.

I think Housley is a good player personally from
The little ive seen. Broken foot and crowded roster of guards though, and with stosic never touching the floor — definitely agree

Yeah I am curious about Stosic, obviously I’m not the coach so my opinion is meaningless and probably ill informed but is redshirting him even worth it? Why not let him out there and see what he can do?

With the lack of bigs on the roster, I have to think it doesn’t bode well for Stosic that he redshirted.

we don't have bigs. KT is our best big as far as scoring and rebounding goes and he's like 6 foot 6. We need a trevin dorius down there for hells sakes.

Aubin just isn’t a MWC caliber player. Felt the same way with Sahko last year too. They can occasionally give you some stretches of decent minutes, but nothing to consistently rely on.

Can’t go back and change anything now, our roster is what it is. Best course now is probably trying to find a way to get Johnson confident. He’s a defensive liability, I get it, but unlike Aubin he actually has an offensive skillset and has proven to be able to score and contribute at this level.

If Aubin and KT both fouled out and/or got hurt would we have pulled Stosics redshirt tonight? Neither Fish or Davis were on the bench. Or may have just hacked Cherry every time

Based on looks from the tv set, it looked like that there was some thought about pulling Stosic's redshirt.

I could see Johnson and stosic transferring. so we need to get a big (I can't express myself without swearing) seven footer like a big strong fella like massive in the portal. I wish Isaac Davis was good enough to play consistently cause he's a beef ball. we got so many damn guards on this team.

I was thinking of this but I don't think it is worth it to pull a redshirt for one game. We lose to UNLV but we are still in first place in the conference and still a lock for the NCAAT. Would Stosic have even helped us win? We could go small with Anderson at center or Akanno if we need more beef. Double down on the bigs to help them out. On offense now we have lots of guys who can move and shoot, maybe it helps us out? If somehow we start losing a lot and play our way out of the NCAAT it isn't because we didn't play Stosic for 3 minutes at UNLV.

At the end of the 1H, both KT and Aubin were on the bench. Tucker played the 5. I'm guessing Tucker playing the 5 would've been the plan had both KT and Aubin fouled out. UNLV was able to use their size to get both our bigs in foul trouble. I don't think any other teams have been able to do so.

We are frustrated by a guy who played 11 minutes last night while the rest of the team was 8-15 from the foul line. One of the stars of this team going a combined 2-8 from 3 and the line.

I get it Aubin is frustrating but he's not why we lost. Is it a concern yes as mentioned we are thin in the front court, however this team is going to live and die on guard play.

I’m frustrated by how thin we are in the post—there’s just no real depth there. Templin is really the only big who shows up consistently, and he’s only 6’6”, doesn’t start, and plays less than half the game, occasionally due to foul trouble. Everyone else in the frontcourt either seems too soft or rides the bench.

Our free throw shooting is also getting worse, and outside of Martinez, no one’s reliable at the line. Weak post play and poor free throw shooting even places more pressure on our guards—especially on the road against teams the top 6 or 7 teams in the conference.

The most frustrating part is when teams like UNLV shoot just 40.7% from the field and 24.0% from three, but we still end up losing. It’s tough to watch, and it won’t get any easier unless we shore up our post play and start knocking down free throws.

Actually, yes. The fact that he only played 11 minutes and had 4 fouls says something. The problem is he plays much smaller than he is, while Templin plays bigger. He screams and yells on his alley-oop dunks. Maybe show some of that aggressiveness on the defensive end.

I just don’t think Aubin is strong enough. He gets absolutely abused fighting for rebounds. Seriously. Watching him go up against Vaihola from San Jose would have been comical if I weren’t stressed about the game.

I think Calhoun thought he’d be good enough alongside Fish, but that’s not proving out.

Why do people keep saying Templin is 6'6"? He's 6'9" and has long arms, and has proven to be good enough to start in the MW, but coach prefers he finish the halves over starting.

Maybe he could pass for 6'7" with shoes on.

I know we've had lots of discussion in the past about the Logan elevation / "black hole effect" causing the official roster to list players as shorter than they actually are (or at least were listed at previous schools), but it seems that @Aggie in Boise is taking it upon himself to decrease some measurements even further. :lol:

I think Aubin's taking way too much flack on this board. Dude's been solid for us. We got ourselves a starting PF/C in the portal that's averaging 7 points, 5 boards, and 1 block per game (in 19 minutes per game) while shooting 75% from the field and playing pretty solid defense.

Is he perfect? No. Is he Great Osobor? No. Has he been solid for us? I say yes.

Aubin can improve and I've seen improvement so far this year. I think he'll keep improving and be a good piece to our team moving into the last half of the season and postseason games.

It is a huge credit to this team that they have accomplished what they have done so far with so little depth with the bigs. That is true regardless of what you think about Aubin.

Agreed. His recent struggles aren't any different than the rest of the team's issues the past 4-5 games. We just need to take this week to adjust our approach to defense and offense and I'm sure we'll see Aubin returning to the form we saw earlier.

Apparently, I'm not the only one that decreases measurements.

And my buddies all swear they’re 6’2”—and then turn around and say I’m 6’4” because I'm taller than them. But whenever I go to the doctor, I measure a measly 6’2”. Guess I’d better trust my friends. Who doesn’t want those extra two inches?
With an attitude like that, are you sure you're not Randy Spetman? It's like you're out there actually counting the seats in the stadium and checking all the player's height measurements! :lol:

Why do people keep saying Templin is 6'6"? He's 6'9" and has long arms, and has proven to be good enough to start in the MW, but coach prefers he finish the halves over starting.
Now he's 6'9"? :lol:

Maybe he could pass for 6'7" with shoes on.
All of these players are listed an inch taller than what they truly are. The only exception is Fish who is truly 7' and may even be 7'1". Templin is 6'7" and 6'8"+ with shoes on. I was courtside last week and he and Degenhart were the exact same size. In fact, Templin may have been a little thicker than Degenhart. Degenhart is listed at 6'8" and 235 lbs.

I do recall Coach Haut saying that Templin has a 7'2" wingspan on one of the coaches shows. This is why he is playing the 5 and one of the best rebounders on the team and can play with the 7' bigs. He plays bigger than his size b/c of this wingspan and he is just a tough kid. My understanding is he is only 19 still. If we can keep him, he will be a monster by the time he is 21 to 22.
