This was something different.  

Agreed. Said the same thing. Something wasn’t right at all.

Coach said we will see how the roster looks next year depending on the feedback Miguel and KP get because scouts have been calling during the season asking about them.

I’m guessing they will declare for the NBA draft without an agent to see where  they are and what they have to work on if they decide to come back next year.

Fantastic season. One for the record books.

Hopefully everyone who can comes back next season , and that hopefully we can add a few pieces.

Expecting NCAAT next year!

I agree really need a big man. If we can find a big that did what young blood did today we would be good. Youngblood played like a center posting up, offensive rebound and put backs. 
 

for the love of god people need to stop with this nonsense. a big who is one dimensional and can only score down low hurts an offense.

it clogs the lanes. slows down ball movement and allows the defense to sag back and take away driving lanes for other players.

youngblood scored plenty down low. you know who doesn't score down low if we have a one dimensional big man  there?

Youngblood because the opposing center could sag back and play help instead of having to guard Pryor at the arc.

Now if you're talking about a big man who can play in and out then I agree but they are extremely rare

BTW we out rebounded them and scored more in the paint than them which everybody has been saying we needed to do more of this year.

we lost because they shot(6) and made(6) more 3 pointers than us. that was  +18 points for them.

Stat wise, the game was pretty even and though it did not seem like it - offensive rebounds were 10/15 in-favor of USF (though VCU seemed to convert on everyone of theirs, while our offensive rebounds seemed to end in missed shots)

The biggest difference was 3 pt shooting - they were almost 40% to our 20

we out rebounded(38-33) them and scored more in the paint(32-28).

they hit 6 more 3's while taking 6 more. That's +18 for them.

He's going to be interviewed on the radio soon.  

Says this is home for him.  He's been following USF MBB and soccer.   Has a lot of offers for this upcoming season.

Karter Knox in the house wearing usf green 

At least Karter (unlike MVS) can figure out what to wear to support a team. 

I just don’t get it - it’s almost as if more effort was made not to wear any bit of green. 

Probably bothers me more than it should, but it does.

Love both KP and Miguel but neither stuck me as NBA material.  Wish them both the best if that works out through.

They made some ridiculous, contested shots yesterday and we weren’t hitting enough open ones. It was really that simple. VCU isn’t as good as we are but it was their night.

Nothing much to add to this, came to say the same thing. 

It was a great season, AND we knocked c. out of the NIT. Not the night I wanted but the season exceeded expectations and was just flat out fun to watch.
