Team 96

[XfansinKy]

Sean O'Mara works as hard as anybody on this team. He did an intense summer program to improve his play. He, or his family, paid a couple grand for it. He stepped up in the tournament and may have begun a ''Farresque'' improvement. We might not have made the Elite Eight without his play. It was good to see his confidence in wanting the ball at crunch time and making a good percentage of FTs under pressure. You do mention he ''was in a groove'',but emphasize ''slow'', ''lumbering'' and ''oafish''!
Trevon has made it clear that players read this stuff. Can't you as a ''fan'' [I assume] be a little more supportive and credit one of our guys for improvement, dedication and effort?

If O'Mara plays anything like he did in the NCAA tournament the post is in good shape.

You basing this off of a couple 5 minute JUCO highlight tapes? God help us. Ernst won't play that much next year.

The switch came on for O'Mara down the stretch, I really believe that. He was demanding the ball, yelling at the bench when it didn't come to him etc. I don't expect him to be a 15/8 guy or anything, but he will be really solid.

Re Ernst - based on what?

There is usually a surprise player every year. Wonder who that might be this year.

His play down the stretch had me excited already. THAT is amazing. Think of all the great athletes who came before him. I wonder who's record he broke.

Sumner probably.
