outshooting B. Artis and AP - who each shot in 20s % from 3 that season, was not hard to do. Tyne is inefficient, always has been - never gets to the line, not good from 2. Tanner I have no recollection of doing much of anything that year. Hunt had to carry the load OOC on that team but was never meant to be a #1 lead scorer IMO. He was perfectly situated on previous year's team I thought, playing off King and Quinn, with Bigs and Dji also there as options.

I think UR could have been mid pack A10 this year and those 4 extra A10 losses were mostly coaching. Best game of the year Tyne didn't play and Thomas was asked to step up and did. Played with pace and the ball was zipping around the court.

Rest of the season he just didn't milk well enough, I guess.

So, true. Our best win of the year was the 1 game where Tyne was injured. Perhaps coaching staff should have taken note on that and made some adjustments (ha, ha, ha). Not that Tyne doesn't have skill but he is a terrible fit for our system. Tyne may work better on a team that plays are very frenetic pace all game, because that is his game.

Mooney likes to talk about how we need to push pace more but really he means more transition buckets. Our base offense is set up to be a more deliberate half court type of offense, Tyne is not going to excel in that environment.

Bingo. That Belmont game. False hope. And that style seemed to be the blueprint Mooney was trying in our weak OOC. And it worked, with Tyne out, against our strongest OOC opponent. And Johnston was talking about proving the haters wrong after the game. And we had hope. And then Mooney. And then Mooney. Fail safed back to his same BS. But we have Hardt and PQ, who are NOT hoops guys evaluating and calling the shots. Mooney.

Lol. One of the more hilarious statements of the year was that Johnston postgame comment about the haters. First all of, our program is made so deliberately small by our coach and admin, we don't really have haters. I'd imagine the only "real haters" he could have been referring to where folks on this message board. To which I say, scoreboard buddy.

Yep 97, hearing his statement, the only thing I could think was he was reading the board. Or maybe before that game JOC used up his allotment of 1 to 2 hard questions for the year, and moon higlighted to the team.
