There are two separate issues as I see it. One, which IMHO is the most important thing, is scheduling better opponents because it helps the team (a) build a resume and (b) prepare itself for conference play. Two, also important, is giving your fan base a reason to want to attend games in...

I’ll wait to see the actual schedule to guess our overall record. But my guess as far as conference goes is that we will be under .500. As good as I feel about our team at certain spots, the hole at the five, and Moser’s long track record of struggling in whatever league he is in, make it very...

We know of two of 13 games. Way too early to draw any conclusions about the schedule.

How can he know when we don’t know 11/13th of the noncon schedule?

Doubtful. In fact, the teams at the bottom of the rankings are the ones that tend to rely on buy games to fund their program.

To not play one of the worst 15 schedules in the country and automatically put us behind the eight ball when it comes to building a resume. And I guess it depends on your definition of "pointless." If your goal is to make the tournament, it is anything but. If you just want to test out the...

Yep, if we don't play in a tourney, he needs to schedule at least 5-6 games against legit opponents. No excuse not to -- we had a good portal season, will have plenty of experienced college players, and can't have another batch of terrible home games after giving the fans no reason to buy...

Apparently the theme of the second round is blown leads. Like, incomprehensible blown leads.

Not a better defensive player. Just isn’t the case. Clearly a better offensive player and threat but not defensively.

They have the best defense in the league. A meaningless regular season game a month ago isn’t much to worry about.

Just a wild game in OKC. I’m the biggest proponent of the “foul up three” strategy on the planet, but I’ve never seen it used that early, especially in the NBA, where you pretty much knew Denver would make all their free throws and keep the pressure on. Denver got what they wanted when they were...

I’m fully with you on this one. I have never heard anyone, even his critics, question his commitment and efforts in the community. I think his generosity is very well established.

I love Buddy to death but don’t think you’d find many NBA people who would remotely agree with your take that he is better defensively than Payton.

It was 60-60 with just under 4:00 left. Under the current rules, the tv timeout would have been taken before the FT, but back then, you shot first. He missed, and Indiana started their run (we had the momentum going into the FT), and was up by a few when the timeout finally came. I’ve always...
