We won a game with long scoring 7 points. I'll take it

CBI or CIT. Hope our leaders have a little pride and respectfully say no thanks. Not worth going to, makes "OMIM" look like a joke and gives no advantage recruiting wise.

Are you Alan Iverson?

There is high value in practicing. ... even practicing the post season.

No way our guys say no to an invitation for post season play regardless of which tournament it is in. I guarantee you the players on the team would love an opportunity to play more games. You think of them when you make such decisions. Would you go to them and tell them, I turned down the invite because I had too much pride. They would not understand. Who knows, we may have a chance to play someone like Tulane here in one of those tournaments and a victory there would definitely help recruiting. We are scheduled to have 10 of the 12 scholarship players returning. Any game you play post season is an opportunity for those guys to participate in a competitive environment which helps their development.

Yeah, we should definitely pass up an opportunity to play more basketball if it's offered. UL Basketball is like Notre Dame football: if the bowl isn't good enough, we don't play in it.

The senior ultimately finished with 38 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Shown above are Stove's stats for the game in which he led his team to a victory over one of the best 1A teams in the state, last year's Class B champs. He is scoring over 30 on a regular basis in recent games.

Getting back to the game---Vu is getting better and maybe can give another minute of playing time---JJ is a good bball player and needs to use his tools (BULK) to set picks and get position for rebounds and hit the shots right outside the paint (just can't elevate with the weight-----I don't know who said that Register could shoot (but they are very correct and maybe some more minutes)----Moore is one of the fiercest competitors I have seen play for a long time (a tweener if there ever was as he is too small for the basket and not the guard type enough for the perimeter)---EP is what he is (unless he scores on the drives where he is fouled you are looking at a one point play)----Wronk (see Moore above)----Rimmer is maybe our best player (I think he has learned from Ep to take it to the basket and is finally a UL 3 point shooter)-----La Bumba is now at the point of taking on a leadership role for this team and I forgot how good he was (Yes I was the guy that said AAWWWW SSSHHHIT when he hit the off balanced 3 pointer LOL) Long has to play mostly out of position because we lack a 5, but he is a VERY GOOD player!!! And I miss my favorite player (Shepherd)!!!!! And we are planning on New Orleans if possible as the trips to Hot Springs were a lot of fun like a tiny NO BOWL---No doubt that the Commish is thinking a UL presence as for getting the tourney to NO ---one of the things he told me when I mentioned keeping the office in NO (and I jumped his ___ for not having enough publicity in the city)!!!

Yo, you talkin' about...practice. Come on man, practice...

Yeah, y'all are right. Our conference and program has fallen to a point we need to play in a money pit of a tournament nobody watches just to feel good about ourselves. Like that was the goal this team set out for. It's bad enough the NIT stands for Not In Tourney, hell, anything else is not even runner up status. Nothing like risking injury in a crap game. To practice...

Practice...

You did not answer my question of how would you handle going to the players and tell them you don't think enough of them to give them the opportunity to continue playing. Don't you know those guys love to play games That would involve telling seniors who want to continue playing they don't deserve the chance to play more games. You don't think that playing more games would allow the younger players to continue their development. Do you even consider the perspective of players and coaches when you make such suggestions. If you respond to this post, I challenge you to address the players perspective question I have posed.
