This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

the only way they underachieved by DavidAddison

was by not winning the Baylor/championship game. I don't care about the UNC and Miami losses because they worked out fine, we still won the ACC and were a 1 seed and regarding who plays who in the national semi's that all worked out, too. Losing to UConn early was perhaps a wake up call but in the end didn't matter, either.

Regarding conference or national awards for all of our players the issue was we had no weak links in the starting five, the ultimate balance, so no 1 or 2 players really stood out to merit things like national player of the year, etc. etc.

IMHO no, MM didn't want Nixon to start (instead of who, exactly?) but definitely would've liked her to be more part of the rotation. If nothing else, this year's incredibly short bench hurt development for next year. I'm not surprised by the short bench in the tourney but was surprised MM didn't do more to get youngsters experience during the regular season.

Regarding posts...if there were no such thing as 6'7" centers on other teams we'd have a couple more championships right now (and we had trouble with A&M's shorter, stockier post, too that cost us that championship).
