This would have been a whole different season with Duvivier, Bruce, Tinkle, N'Dyiae, and even Dew. They are playing really hard and somewhat in control. They just don't have the fire power. And whether that's on CT or just bad luck, (I say bad luck) this was a lost year. My optimism says that they will be much better next year and might even surprise some people. I am excited for next year.
And on a side note. Are they red shirting N'dyaie? He wasn't introduced as a senior. He is Malcolms year right?

I think N'Daiye snuck in just under the 30% rule but would have to apply for a hardship redshirt. I'd suspect it's up in the sir.

Ohhh. I like being called sir! 😄 I wondered just how close it was for a medical redshirt. But not introducing him might be an indication.

I like Chehk or however you spell his name. I thought he should have played more last year even

One thing about this year, sir.... we get to return our full starting lineup next year... and the year after that. You don't see either scenario all that often.

The devil's advocate...or even a poster or two on this board...would point out that the complete returning starter line-up for the next 2 years after a season like this last one may not be a good thing. |

I didn't say it was necessarily a good thing, but this year we only had ONE returning regular starter after Tinkle got injured.
5 is much better than 1. In our case it could be 6 or 7 next year when you include Tres and possibly Malcolm.
Experience does count for something.

And... is that a good thing considering the level of play we've shown fundamentally? And with 7 Pac12 teams rated in the top 35-40 recruiting classes... none being us?? Top that with the talent UW has drawn, the facilities and $, what a talented new coach there could mean?! |

I've been watching a lot of basketball today and all I can say is... If the Beavs could somehow sneak Jordin Canada on next year's team they'd have a shot at being a tournament team.

Do you mean the talent that UW has drawn that managed just one more conference win then we did? They managed that with what many people think to be the most talented freshman in the pac-12, yeah and we have no talent either. |

Top that with the talent UW has drawn, the facilities and $, what a talented new coach there could mean?! The great thing about basketball is one or two players can sometimes be all it takes. One single significant mismatch on the court opens the whole thing up. Payton was that guy for a few years. Tinkle is almost that guy, if he can stop breaking parts of himself. I really think Ethan is that guy next year. Stephen needs help. which makes him an average player. he can win some battles, lose some battles. but if we have that one other guy... that Tinkle and Ethan that pulls the extra defenders or stresses the defense, suddenly the whole team is a lot better. suddenly the outside shots are a lot more open, suddenly you can draw a defender out of the lane and have a run at the hoop. Does it make us a Tourney team? probably not. But it makes us more than a 5 win team! |

One "benefit" of this season's travails has been that Drew has learned to deal with the double (and triple) team - the growth of Big G helped towards the end of the season, but next year where opponents ought not to be able to collapse on the key and dare our guys to shoot from the outside, Drew could average a double double, and dominate the post against most teams. |

N'Diaye is definitely eligible for a redshirt year
