Imagine the worry around here that he could win the starting spot (again).  I agree he could be serviceable in a backup role but would prefer to move on.  He is very likely forever the name and face most tied to this failed season.  Every mistake he'd make next year or as a 5th year senior would be amplified as a result.

Nigel James.

Watched St. Thomas and North Dakota. Entertaining game. No BE players on the floor. I'd rather take my chances with MU's redshirts and incoming frosh. Need to find transfers from elsewhere, IMO.

I mean they label Acuff and Flemings as PG"s but I think of them more as combo guards.   TTU's guards are no joke.

Quote from: jfp61 on March 07, 2026, 10:21:24 PMbut what if.... our juniors and 1 or 2 of our sophmores were functional?

Newsie is being sarcastic.  There is a sliver of truth to what he typed but the portal is necessary next year because the junior class this year has been essentially absent.

Awesome yes!
Marquette's Kenpom #85
Miami OH's Kenpom #90

Quote from: MuggsyB on March 07, 2026, 10:33:16 PMChristian Anderson is a heck of a baller for TTU.  You don't hear his name much but the dude can flat out get buckets, and off the bounce.  19ppg and 7.7 dimes.  48%, 42% from distance.  That team was clearly a national title contender with Toppin. 

A true championship contender with Toppin. A shame he got hurt.
