No We are a team that needs to score more. Cam is slumping for now. Hyatt has proven himself a strong shooting option. Caleb had not. You think Caleb’s D is worth losing games because we can’t score?
We scored plenty of points today. Defense was awful

You’ll see Hyatt getting more minutes than Caleb there’s no doubt. You’re blind if you can’t see that.

I do and played the game on a great high school team. Dean never took that next step as we all expected. It happens
What next step? LOL!!!

We told you he was a backup 5 repeatedly. You refused to listen.

Some of you guys need to stop second guessing this staff. They have a formula that works well for this roster.

Hyatt will likely chip some minutes from Cam, Mag and Caleb in that order, not alot but those little bits add up

Problem is Hyatt is, he is do or die with his 2 seconds trigger. Def. not your starting type... Starter needs to be consistent...
He is a good fire power off the bench since when he is hot, he can be scoring we desperately need. If he is missing, sit his *** back on the bench again

In the two games with Iowa, we held Murray to slightly below his scoring average. You can't tell me that is not outstanding defense on that particular scorer. To consider not starting one of the best, if not the best, defender in Div. 1 is folly.

I'd say Hyatt would get some of the minutes of and Spencer and Simpson. I don't see him taking any of Mag's minutes.

Caleb is the 7-8th option on offense. Lately he starts out games as if he's the 2nd option.

I don’t think Mcconell should come off the bench but he shouldn’t be taking 3s. He went 1-16 in January. He needs to play to his strengths more and be physical and get to the line. Hes a good ft shooter

It’s now time for Caleb to come off the bench for energy and defense. We need points early on to get a cushion, THEN bring Caleb in to shut people down.

We will NOT beat good offensive teams in the tourney unless we SCORE MORE.

Mags defense will pick up slack and Hyatt is no slouch on D.

It’s time. It’s obvious.

So if you're at least admitting that Caleb is a shut down defender...why would you not want him on the floor to start the game when the opponent literally has their best offensive player(s) on the floor?

No need to answer.

I’m sure he’d probably agree that he hasn’t been shooting well from deep. That’s probably why he didn’t shoot any threes against Penn State and he only shot one against Iowa.

As long as Caleb brings the effort, he is without a doubt, a lock to be in the starting lineup. His defense and leadership is a stabilizing factor for the rest of the team, especially when you pair him with Paul. There is a reason why upperclassmen get the most minutes.

As for his offense, I feel like he is just way too uptight. I know he is capable of going off just as much as anyone, but whenever he has an open jumper, it seems like he’s short arming it. Like shooting an open shot when you know the game is on the line versus playing pickup ball with your best buds. Sometimes you just gotta be confident, own it, have fun with it, fake it till you make it and let muscle memory take over. In his earlier years and in the Dayton game, he was just freer on offense and therefore, it seems, had more buckets. He’ll find his shot. I’m not worried about it.

The was another epically bad thread like "Don't Sleep on Dean"...lol.

But the first comment above is really comical reading back on this thread now.

BTW are you related to RUSCFORMERLYRULOU?

This …the post resurrection crap is awful

Why is it always about proving someone wrong ????
Thank you. Feel like I have been posting that a lot. Can we cut the sh$t with the resurrection threads even though Easter is only a couple of weeks away? People post with emotion and have bad takes at times. Not exactly breaking news.

Sorry Shack but I am a fan of this. Keep them coming. Find a juicy nugget when I am wrong. If anyone can find after Eugene left I will look like such a fool.

Need to dig up some Jaden Jones threads
Um, no we don’t. Why would you be a fan of that garbage? “I told you so” is the worst way you can be as a person. None of us are all knowing. Honestly, this crap should be banned.

The season is over and I have moved on and getting excited about next year with Baye and Gavin and whoever Pike picks up in the portal. Watching the elite eight , we definitely would have had problems keeping up with any of them But next year we move closer to a team who on offense and defense can be competitive with some of the top teams. And if 2024 recruiting pans out , we will be at the doorstep. Thanks to the team, coaches and fans for making this past year interesting including the ups and downs. On to football were with moderate improvement, we can get to 6 wins. Looking forward to seeing everyone over on the football and other sports boards.

I can think of 2 or 3 worse ways you can be as a person.

Everyone had bad takes, but a lot of times there is logic to it at the time and it just doesn't pan out

Reiber was never going to be the starting 4

Hyatt was never going to take Caleb's starting spot
