And that's game. Unnecessary foul to give them 3 ft
Rest of this season is about development. Kiss the NIT goodbye

So what do we think about next year? Nobody really coming in, so this is our group it seems. Do we see a tourney run with these kids? Can they improve enough?
Really wish we could have played some decent teams in the ooc, even though they would have been losses. We’d have done well to have that game experience.

If they keep up progressing like tonight when they don't have Kin on the field, I don't think tourney is out of question.

So for next year we lose Namon, maybe Deleon, and add Walton hopefully fully recovered, Dombek, Ryder and Luke O'Brien (red shirt him?). Anyone else? I would expect to see improvement from all the returning players, but especially the 3 freshmen. Kins remaining upside is a consitent 3 pt shot which we need. We should have a much improved inside game with three 6'10" guys and Battey, Bey, but really need more reliable, consistent 3 pt shooting to be really good.
I only saw a bit of the 2nd half, umm, you could tell Kin wasn't out there. The half-court O was ugly. Swartz played well, not much else. Hard to being in the foul trouble some were in. It's ok to attack a zone off the dribble fellas. That beats 2 dudes just passing it back and forth to each other on the perimeter jacking up crap because the shot clock is about to expire.

He won't be here next season, he'll be arriving for the '20-'21 season. Boyle still has at least one scholarship to give for next season.

Oh yeah, forgot that about O'Brien.
A good zone makes a lot of offense look inept unless you have some inside out action with good perimeter shooting. We looked inept even when McKinley was in. But this from Tad may explain a lot about Kin quitnote being himself.
“A lot of people don’t know that McKinley hurt his shoulder after we came back from Christmas. He had an MRI and he’s been able to play through it but he reinjured it tonight, we don’t know how badly but we’ll get a better feel for that after we get into next week. I don’t know the answer to that right now but I do know that he has been playing at less than 100% and obviously we didn’t announce that to the world.”
“People need to understand how tough that kid is, when we went to Arizona we weren’t sure he was going to play and he ends up playing both games. He’s got the heart of a lion and that kid’s toughness will never be questioned. But in terms of the injury and what the prognosis is and what it means for the rest of the season, at this point we don’t know that.”

True but only one out of three. As far as we know.
It just seemed to me that something was wrong with Kin. And since there was no report of injury, I speculated. I just hope he can come back from this and not miss too much, or possibly all, of the rest of the season.
Don’t hurt your shoulder patting yourself on your back

You know he was hurt AFTER they came back, right? His play early season was frankly outstanding aside from more TOs.
ugh. he gonna need surgery unless rehab is super successful. Plus, his style of play isn't easy on the body.

If the Buffs have a key player like Dinwiddie, Josh Scott, Derrick White, or McKinsey, it’s a disaster if they go down with injury. Could be true for any team, but it seems the drop off in talent going with the backup is more severe for us than for many teams.
