Rowand44 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 08:42 PM) I realize its a tough league but it's tough seeing any team with a 5-8 conference record after tonight having a great shot, but maybe I'm missing something. I hate to throw your Clones under the bus again but compare ISU's resume to Northwestern's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) So apparently SDSU is an underdog tonight at home vs. New Mexico. For any betters out there SDSU is an absolute lock. The numbers love New Mexico. KenPom has UNM 12 and SDSU 55. That said, SDSU did win at UNM so I tend to think you're right.

Boogua Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So I was curious as to how Maniscalco has actually done (numbers wise). Since the weak part of the schedule ended (beginning with the Gonzaga game), he is 18 for 79 for the field (22.7%) in 15 games. I knew it was bad, but Jesus... I guess Weber had him out there for his defense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the key for the next Illini coach recruiting Chicago? Will that be the key for Shaka returning the Illini to greatness? Will the Public League coaches embrace Shaka? It seems sometimes the Illini coach relationships with Public League talent is not good. And other area talent. Wouldn't NW's Sobelewski of Benet and Boatright of Aurora look good in Illini colors?

I guess Weber had him out there for his defense though. To be fair to Maniscalco, he re-injured the ankle in the St. Bonaventure game and has been playing (incredibly poorly) on one leg since. It isn't his fault that Weber keeps playing him when he has no chance to succeed. Also, if anyone heard Weber's press conference after the game today he already knows he is being fired. I actually wish Thomas would just do it now and appoint an assistant just to get it done and to let the players play loose down the stretch. Also, Weber also basically confirmed that he has been coaching not to lose the last few years and that the pressure of the job got to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't his fault that Weber keeps playing him when he has no chance to succeed. Oh, I completely agree that it isn't Sam's fault that he's playing so much. He's obviously a competitor and feels like he can help the team. The fact is that he can't at this point. The blame is all on Weber. He did the same thing with Bill Cole last year and this year he did it with Sam. He tends to go with the "experienced" and the "safe (much less turnover prone)" too often. Like Weber even said in his press conference: He was coaching not to lose. I think playing Sam extended minutes, when the guy isn't capable, is clearly indicative of that.

Just end it now, let the assistants take over and maybe they actually play the freshmen more, the players play loose, make the NCAA tourney and maybe even win a game or two.

farmteam Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What a pathetic post game conference. That's the first time I've ever seen one this blunt that's depressing; usually if they're being really blunt they're angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was firmly in the camp that thought Thomas should let him coach out the season. But after hearing about that press conference last night, how do you let him stick around? How are the players gonna feel to be around him? You know it's bad when the Score spends a huge chunk of time in the morning talking Illini basketball.
