Is this a revelation to anyone?*

Man, we win one game and people are talking Lamar MVP, NCAA Tournament and NIT Final 4's.
We arnt a terrible basketball team, we just have played like it, for most of the season. I'd like to see a little consistency before I crown it progression.

I think everyone on the team has progressed, individually....but it seems like last game, we may have progressed as a team. Lamar was hitting his shots and making better decisions, Q had his runner and touch, Ado and Holman both had good games...........nick is our glue.

Yep, until last game, I cant remember multiple guys going off at the same time. Maybe Nick and Q a few times together but not much. Seems like when Holman would go off, Q and Peters would be cold. Q gets warm, Nick is throwing it in the bleachers. ....And so on. It was nice to see something fluid for a change.

Now lets run with it.

We finally had someone playing point guard, that’ll do it for ya! Now the trick will be keeping someone’s mentality being to play point guard, not shooting guard playing the point. It was a beautiful thing to watch our point guard play Saturday....

It was awesome to see Lamar dish out 9 assists. When is that last time we have had a point guard do that for our men's team???

I don't know about y'all, but I had a hint we might lose those games going in... I was pissed about the blown lead at OM, but stepping back a little that's about the only game I would say was really a bad loss this year.

It's about like the Mullen era in football. Win the games we're supposed to win, lose the games we're supposed to lose. I'll take it as a (baby) step in the right direction compared to the last umpteen years.

I'm no betting expert, but given how scores can fluctuate wildly at the end of games due to intentional fouling, it would seem that betting on basketball spreads would be a fool's game.

That's baked into the line.

I don't really know if it is or not. I just see people using "baked into" all the time and I wanted to do it too.

You are correct. Betting on basketball also involves lots of moving parts. You have to think outside the box and make sure you make hay with best practices.
