TCU at Evansville (Saturday, Dec 3rd)

[klinky]

Didn't get a chance to listen to the post game show but have to wonder why Sarvell got so little playing time in the 2nd half. In the first half he blocked a shot, altered at least 1 other and drew 2 charging fouls on players driving toward the basket in the short time he played. That's not counting the good screens he set for Ryan. He saw just a few minutes of playing time in the 2nd half as TCU controlled the interior in the 2nd half including the game winner.

It appears to me that, as it has been all season, Marty is playing not to lose, rather than to win.
Freshmen get almost no playing time in the second half.

So playing more freshmen in the second half constitutes a playing to win attitude???

No, it's playing not to lose.

Evansville is making me look like a fool for picking them so high before the season. Right now they are a play-in team along with SIU and Bradley.

At this point in time they are, without a doubt, a play-in team.

Disagree. I've seen several Valley games and I don't see six better teams in this conference

I've seen several Valley teams also. In my opinion, they can't beat Creighton, Wichita State, Indiana State, No. Iowa, Mo. State, and wouldn't bet they will beat any of the rest in a road game. After losing to UIC, and TCU, what makes you think they are an upper half team? The Aces are not as good as last year. They weren't much last year in the paint, and they are worse this year.

A few weeks ago Marty was the 2nd coming of Brad Stevens ?

And today he's Santa Claus.

(to the tune of Jingle Bells
Dashing down the court
in a one-horse Marty sleigh
Over the Dawgs we go
Dribbling all the way
Sold-out Hoosier game;
Stumbling in the lane
Oh what fun it is to sing
A Marty song tonight

Then its Oakland City
Man that team is ****ty
Winning in Chicago,
Oops, maybe not-oh.
Alabama State, the Hornets
had their time then we opened up the nets

Oh Marty bells Marty bells
Marty all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
A one horse Marty sleigh

Merry Christmas

LOL. At least we will have something to laugh about this season.
