Good or bad? I can see both sides. It might be a good time to get our legs under us again and for the freshman to get a little mental break. On the flip side, we're winning, and I don't like thinking of losing any momentum. Odd scheduling for sure.
One game in the next 12 days
- Thread starter ca4cy
- Start date
It's a winnable home game setting up for the biggest game of the year. I'll take it.
It’s great because I’m pooped just watching these games. Just imagine what the team feels like.
They only skip the mid-week game next week. Per Steve last night after the game, great opportunity for both the staff and players to take a short break and then plenty of time to prepare for KSU and prep for the rest of the season. Believe the coaches are also going to head out on a couple of recruiting visits...
Good because assuming we win Saturday I'll be in a good mood for a long time
Good - the kids can relax, catch-up on their studies, hit a few bars at 2am to cut loose some...
No chip on Shayok, the guy is incredible down the late stretch of games. However, I think his legs aren't quite used to 30+ minutes a game of high tempo basketball 2-3 times a week. I think this is a great opportunity to get some rest, get the legs back, and get some shots up to boost confidence.
This is much-needed rest for the whole team. Babb seems to be short on his shots the last two games. Get some rest because the back end of this schedule will be tough.
Good, we’ll hopefully get our legs back, which is big for a small-ball team. Hopefully the bench can start to keep the minutes down.
Will Prohm even still be the coach after this stretch? I don’t know but hot takes don’t get breaks.
Definitely was glad to see Babb getting some rest last night.
It's a positive - almost a full week off, then a winnable home game, then a full week to prep for two huge games in four days - at KSU and home against Baylor. Those two games should go a long way towards creating some separation at the top of the standings one way or another. The only way it's a negative is if the team drops the TCU game at Saturday. But as long as they take care of business in Hilton it's all good.
He does have some stretches where he seems gassed and could use a quick sub. In general I think the Saturday to Monday turnaround is not easy, and is really difficult on the team traveling for Monday. There's something to be said for staying sharp and the rustiness that comes with long layoffs, but I think getting some rest and extra prep ahead of @KSU is going to be a good thing.
