Richmond

Don't forget you'll get your first look at the new uncomfortable Richmond vs our hated rival Rutgas. 630 Big ten network

At this rate I think our board is going to drive the ratings for that one, at least for those who have the Big Ten Network (I wouldn’t even know what channel it is).

I think some want players who dont have to be told to dive for a loose ball, to close out with your hands up. To play every second like you mean it.

KR has tons of talent, and I praised him here all the time. And I ignored those things (cause I am a fan not a journalist). I never worried if Isiah and Myles or Terry or Jerry or Sha or Dre was going to be all in for a game. I did with KR. Maybe KR took plays off cause so much was expected of him and he had to stay on the court. Maybe he used that as his justification.

He played well last year. Real well. It killed me that Carter won POY cause I think KR is more talented. But I understood.

What 75 said. The dominant KR was fun to watch, but MVP’s play all out all the time. If we’re being honest, that’s where KR fell short.

Should have been an NCAA team, but the general soreness stretch hurt too. And the no-show NIT Game One….

Addition by subtraction.

With all due respect, not buying this.

Richmond was our #1 option on offense and he played as many minutes as he could handle. I see his minutes and scoring #’s going down at SJU, but will still be a beast when driving to the basket.

The general soreness pissed me off to no end, without knowing the situation of course. The explanations that have come after the fact make much more sense and, frankly, I get it to a degree.

Again, I was more critical of this kid than virtually anyone on our 2 boards. And yet let's be real: we aren't half as good last year if Richmond doesn't elevate his game. We only "could" have been a NCAA team because of him. Yes, Davis and Dawes played huge roles too, and Bediako to a lesser extent, but Richmond was the biggest factor and the guy who made all league.
