Already been answered but I think your obsession with me is 10x weirdo than anything you (inaccurately) purport that I do.
I've never stated they "suck at basketball". Only that Pavs is not a Big 12 calibre player (this year) and that, at times, I haven't liked Otz's rotations in certain situations.
I have stated certain players "suck" or arent' adept in certain facets, and usually that's on things we could conceivably control. Ironically the defensive rebounding, which had not been good during conference play, was outstanding at Houston.
You ever consider my takes might not always be so far off base? Naw, that would be outside the scope of your purview (which is obsessing on my posts and where I post them).
Just notice this. In conference we've gone
Loss
2 wins
Loss
3 wins
Loss
4 wins
Loss
We have 5 games left.

Are you convinced that this is how you've worded it in your posts?
Not obsessed...I didn't post your posts from those other boards.
If a player plays on a college basketball team in a conference, are they are college basketball player in that conference?
Why do you obsess about specific players and how awful they are?
If that trend continues into the post season it would mean we lose in the first game of the Big XII tourney before going on to win the natty... I'd be ok with that.
Also like, Pav has provided us valuable minutes in multiple games. Its not like he's riding the bench and only getting in in garbage time or was some kind of massive liability while he was out there. He gives us something during those stretches.
If he wants to argue Pav shouldnt be getting 30 minutes a game right now? Sure. But he isn't, and that's not the role for every player anyway, nor is it the role of every player who would be described as "big 12 caliber".
You CONSTANTLY single me out. I think many on here would agree it's borderline obsessive. Why not just put me on ignore? You are now tot the point of being concerned about where I post, what I post, and why I post to the point you post it on here. Dude, stop already.
On the bolded I'm not sure what kind of mental mind games you are trying to play but, yes.
I don't obsess but will keep bringing it up if it remains relevant. I talked about how awful Jones was and complained about his playing time last year as 1) it was objectively true during conference play 2) he was seeing minutes that weren't commiserate with his production. Maybe I missed it, but isn't this a Cyclone board? Isn't that stuff kind of relevant? On Jones I have been very vocal with my praise on his play, how I was wrong in that I didn't think it was even possible, and that he should be the runaway for conference MIP. But you won't bring that up as it doesn't fit your narrative.
That's an anecdotal statement if I've ever seen one. Consistently, against elite competition, he simply can't compete, especially on the defensive end of the floor. He played what..3 minutes against Houston and it was 3 minutes too many. Watson is and has been someone that can (at least) play Big 12 defense and rebound at a Big 12 level. Pavs plays his ass off, but he's much like Jones was last year (overmatched).
I'm not arguing he shouldn't be getting 20. I'm arguing it should actually be zero unless foul trouble necessitates otherwise (which it really hasn't). Those minutes can be dispersed amongst other players, notably Watson getting more mintues.
