He's a one-trick pony. Had a nice game against us the first time last year and we shut him up the second time. He shoots threes. That's it. He's a nice A10 player, but it's a joke that he's being considered as an NBA first round draft pick by anyone. He's not even one of the 10 best lambs of the past 15 years.
He'll hit at least six 3s against your weak defense.
They probably played one of Chris Mooney's famous inspirational halftime speeches.
15 free throws in TWO games? WOW! unheard of! He should be a top-5 pick for that incredible stay alone.
You said he's a one-trick pony. Those FTs didn't all come from 3s. Keep going, it's fun chasing your goal posts, just like Bones will have fun torching your defense.
Ever heard of he's the focus of our team and gets doubled a lot? I know you're not used to seeing actual defense, and you clearly didn't see the Dayton game. The scouts obviously disagree with you.
And this is what I call Mooney’s law. Everything seems to be turning the corner but then it all comes quickly crashing down, that happens this Wednesday.
That's just what I would want to hear as an NBA general manager about my first-round draft pick: 'He's really good, as long at the other team isn't paying attention to him. But when they focus on him, he's not that good.'
The games are in Des Moines, so Loyola gets bonus credit. Road games with few fans against a top 30 NET team missing its top scorer? Cha-ching!
He was 15 of 48 from three in your six biggest games of the year (Bona twice, Utah State, WVU, Memphis, Penn State). He got fat against all the other dogs you played. Good for him. That doesn't equate to first-round draft pick. Although I certainly am rooting for him to turn pro so that we won't have to face a world-beater like him anymore.
Yet again, the actual experts disagree. Ramble all you want.
No shit! We haven't played a game in three weeks, of course we're not in right now. We still have by far the best win of anyone in the league and more Q1 wins than anyone in the league.
LOL. I don't care what the NET says, Memphis and Utah State are turning out to be better wins than Loyola. VCU is also 5-1 on the road. You're not Dancing regardless. Even if you really do come back tomorrow. And again, Bones (and others) will torch your defense. Good luck next year.
This is very rich, considering I'm willing to bet big money that your dictators are Trumpers. They sure have a lot in common. Losing is one thing. Blowing away money is another. But yeah, VCU students are the problem.
We are 5-1 on the road also, and Memphis and Utah State are not better wins than Loyola or even close to it. That's laughable. Loyola is ranked and about to enter the NET top-10. Utah State is 51 and Memphis is 61. Neither one ranked. Only USU with even an outside chance at making the tourney without a conference title. That NBA scout you've been getting advice from is really not good for you.
Loyola would wax the floor with either of those teams, that's why it's ranked much higher than either one. Beating Memphis and Utah State ain't sniffing you a bid. Then of course there's that little matter of you having zero Q1 wins rearing its ugly head again. Tsk tsk.
