    I think he's definitely Top 15. I would love for the Rockets to get him but our 2nd pick will be in the late 20's.

    What a great come from behind win. We overcame a career game by Nolley, a half time half court buzzer beater 3 pointer, poor free throw shooting. At least we made them in the last two minutes when it counted.

    JWalk what a game. They came out and punched us in the mouth. But after 15 rounds we won a unanimous decision. These are the type of games we need to win to get ready for March. So thankful that we won.

    The home vs road deal continues, but Jarace stepped up big time. That middle to outside touch mixed with everything else he already has...he'll go high. Shead continues his growth...played big down the stretch.

    I've always assumed we'll get better & better as the year progresses. these guys are growing individually and as a team.

    He had a huge game against a very good Arizona team early this year, but your point stands.

    Absolutely, a tournament type game. Today they learned how to take a huge shot and get up off the floor and fight back. Signature win going forward. A character builder.

    I hope we’ll shoot FTs better in the tournament.

    Today was not as bad as I originally thought. All but 2 were missed by JWalk who only hit 3 for 7. Not counting him we were 7 for 9. Since we won and he had a great game otherwise no harm this time. He does need to work on his ft's though. Both to help us and to help himself earn some extrs dollars come draft time.

    Huge win today, I knew no way Cinny would keep shooting 60%+ in the 2nd half and if not for half court shot at halftime buzzer it would have been a 4 point game. Hats off to Cinny for playing their butts off. Kudos to this Coogs team for staying the course and grinding out points in the paint.

    Best part of the game was Sasser didn't need to be the guy in order to get the win. Roberts early, Shead late and Walker all day!

    Would really like to see Francis play a few more minutes early. I get the feeling we are going to need him at least one game in the tournament because of foul trouble with Roberts & Chaney. The backcourt is loaded with guys that can step up.

    Coach's plan is always the same year after year. Get better each month and be ready for March. I was asking myself watching Shead today any chance he goes to the draft or does he return one more year? Today game makes me think he could be ready to go pro.

    Great game to go to today. Onto the next

    shead refused to lose this one. Walker continues to show why he’ll be a top 10 pick

    Cincy played well today. They gave it their best shot. Not good enough

    He is coming back next year. It’s only sasser and walker that’s going to the draft

    Coming soon. Note how early they got to him first, when he wasn’t even officially in high school yet

    I get that is the plan but if continues to take over games and holds his improved 3pt shot with a great tournament I can see him getting some love. I hope he comes back of course.

    It’s not really about that. If you’re focused on shead as an individual and how he played, it would have been last year when sasser and mark went down and he took over the team, especially in the tourney. Regardless of how the season ends he isn’t leaving

    Possible transfer candidate in the off-season

    He’s been struggling and going through issues the last few months.
