For those that downplayed the win over UCLA

[scottsgriz]

You're both HIGH! :shock:


If Lillard doesn't break his foot, you guys are CIT bound.

If Weber gets healthy. Which is a huge ? Right now. I think we can still take this.

Griz have a good team, don't get me wrong, but 2-0 at home and you're talking sweet 16. Really, LOL!

Lillard is a great player (would have edged out cam jones for mvp), but he is not in Rodney Stuckey's league. Even if you had Stuckey combined with Rahe being a great coach, you were far from guaranteed to win the conference. Face it, the rest of your roster is barely average in the league.

I watched Weber four times before Lillard's unfortunate injury, and you were much better with him last year at the 2 guard. As it stands, the griz have the best center, power forward, and point guard in the league. Lillard would have given you a chance to win the title, but it definitely was not a sure thing.

I would argue that Lillard is clearly better than Cherry as a 2 guard, but it is much closer at the point. Also, I am willing to admit I was wrong and put Lillard in Stuckey's league, as soon as he proves it by having a similar NBA career and not before.

I give Rahe and Lillard very high marks, but the rest of your roster is pedestrian at best.

you have to realize that we are Really, really banged up right now, besides Lillard. Bamforth our next best player dislocated his shoulder in exhibition, and is at 50%. His arm went numb, and he couldn't feel it in the first half against Byu. There is a reason he exited the game and went straight for the LockerRoom after he hit his first 3. True Freshman Richardson had to
play 28 minutes in his stead. Hughey had a nasty sprain in Alaska and Rahe said he's at about 60%. Bullinger is 60-70% with one foot that's been bothering him all season, and a bad ankle sprain against Co. Christian. These 4 injuries are our 4 best players, and we may not be able to recover this season. If we do we will beat UM in Ogden next month without Lillard.

Right...

Bamforth (Nice player, kind of one dimensional as a sharp shooter, not a game breaker). I have experience with shoulder dislocations. He probably won't be the same this year if ever. If he is truly at 50% and still playing it speaks volumes about the lack of quality on your roster. Richardson looks to have a bright future.

If Hughey sprained an ankle weeks ago (I watched their games in that tourney) and is still only 60% now, he definitely shouldn't be playing. Since he is, and leading you in scoring most games, it speaks volumes about the lack of quality on your roster.

If Bullinger (another one dimensional shooter who can't create his own shot) was at 60-70% and then sprained an ankle, I would assume that dropped him to around 50%. That he is still playing speaks volumes about the lack of quality on your roster.

Every player is banged up by mid-season. If it is as serious as you say, other players should be able to produce better. If not, you are just like every other team.

Beating you at Weber with Lillard would have been tough to near impossible. Without him you can only beat us if we show up and take a giant dump. Your roster isn't very good without Lillard, healthy or not.

Well Cherry only played to 50% of his potential
Kareem jamar only played to 60% of his potential
Shawn Stockton was thinking about a hot froshman so was only 50% mentally there (and still handled weebs)
Qvale felt bad for beating up on the poor wittle puddy tats who's mommy's hadn't kissed all of their booboos better yet 70% of the game so he took it easy on them
So I guess all-in-all it was pretty even.
