BIG "if," but I totally agree.

I believe all this adversity will pay off for us somehow. Yet in saying that, while I love our team, I don't trust 'em this year. However, running into a little luck and winning a title in the next week isn't out of reach.
I think the right defection(s) could be good. I don't think just Copeland cures all that ails our backcourt. Gladly trade from that front court 'depth" for a higher quality backcourt.

I hope Muller leads a couple of the current players down the path of choosing to leave. However the reality is that anyone we want to leave will not voluntarily leave as they will not have have options elsewhere.


Speak your peace. Who, in particular??

I don't feel like reading this 14 page thread, so forgive me if I missed it. But does anyone have any insight as to why MW was sitting on the bench the last couple minutes and we had Gassman defending the perimeter? It seemed like that's what lost us the game as Ike got burned on 2-3 straight possessions leaving a shooter wide open.

I said the same thing. Gassman was giving us zero on the offensive side and left Richardson and Custer open for dagger 3s late.
MW was giving us nothing on offense too (really nobody was besides the big 4 as no one else had a field goal), but at least he is quick enough in the zone to cover/close down space.

Exactly. He is without a doubt our best perimeter defender. Gassman just does not have the quickness. I would have preferred to see Hein out there even. That was a terrible coaching decision. Props to LU for seeing it and taking advantage of it time and time again.
