Stans already making excuses if we lose vs WV on Saturday...

[fishwater99]

He has to be sure to cover his ***. I really don't think we lose this one though, we have too much talent and it's at home...

Stans making excuses

"This is going to be a heck of a challenge and set up for everybody,”
Stansbury said Thursday. “Hey, West Virginia is a really good basketball
team."

“The first thing you need to know about them is the team that beat us
(Akron), they had them down 23 at halftime and beat them by 21 for the
game,” he said. “Akron was playing without its starting point guard but,
still, again, you get that team down 23 points at halftime, you’re
pretty good.”

It also looks like Long is gone from the team and maybe S. Smith, we will need a spot or two if we want to sign Pollard.

Talk up the upcoming opposing team no matter who they are

"When you get to rivalry games, it's all about that one game," said
Mullen. "I'm sure we are going to get the best game they've played all
season."

... I think the feel-good from the Akron loss is starting to wear off for some folks....

I think we could go 38-1 and we would still be reading posts about how that dubmass Stansbury blew the Akron game and cost us a perfect season.

I don't see anything in there that is making excuses.

He will have us ready to play and lots of movement in our offense like he always does<div>

He is the one talking about how good Akron is, just in case we lose. I am totally over that loss, now if we lose to another scrub team this year, then **** will hit the fan..
I fully expect us to win all of our OOC games, with maybe Baylor as the only exception.
We will be favored by 6 or more points over WV.

I am just letting you know how Stans is setting it up an excuse "in case" we don't beat that couch burning-***...

Sweet 16 or Bust.....

I think Akron just had the right personnel to give us fits with that 7 footer to neutralize Moultrie and somepretty good defensive guards. We should beat them 8-9 times out of 10 but they are the kind of team that on a given night can give alot of teams trouble.
If we can run the table in our OOC schedule and get signature wins over West Virginia, Baylor, Arizona, and A&M then we will be in great shape for a good seed in the NCAAs.

Just typical banter from those on this board who would rather see us lose than win so they can *****. Akron is over, we shoot a horrible percentage from 3 pt range and Sid and Moultrie could not hit a layup. None of those things are the coaches fault.

I you are a coach, you always call the opponent a good team. I heard Saban say teh same things about whatever that teacher's college they played two weeks back (the week before Auburn).

I dont think i have ever seen Stans get a compliment for how he speaks. Thats a total 180 from what he is known for...which is an almost gone voice and taking an chainsaw to the English language.</span>
