You dont like the deck shoes and clown socks?  As long as they win, they can wear gel flats and purple tights for all I care.

I don't think Hardaway's head WAS in the game for big stretches.  We need him to regain the form he showed earlier in the season.  Burke and Novak can't do it alone.

Winning is great, but if Hardaway is going to reach his fullest potential, then checking out for stretches of the game isn't going to cut it.

You're the big gun on a Top 20 NCAA basketball squad Tim, you need to be focused for 40 minutes every night.  That's the path that leads to the NBA fella!

since Hardaway was "Awesome"...his play has been VERY disappointing most of this year

Hes to "ME" oriented and seems to be upset that hes NOT the star anymore..at least

thats what it looks like from the outside..his head was NOT in last nights game and they

won despite him not because of him...sorry but have to call em as I see em

Why is it that everyone immediately jumps to "hardaway is selfish" conclusion?  Have I missed some interview where he has complained openly about his role?  To me it seems to be a confidence issue or if anything he lacks "mental toughness" however cliche that may be.  He missed his first couple shots, he gets down on himself and needs a pick me up from his teammates and/or coach to set his mind right.  He comes back in the second half and plays much better.  He'll be fine.

I wouldn't necessarily say he is me oriented. He looks like a kid who is frustrated shots he used to make aren't going down for him. I am sure the coaches are telling him to keep shooting and they will start falling again. I wish he would just make better choices when it comes to his selection.

It is mostly about shot selection this year. Last year I think he shot something like 38% from 3. This year he is shooting 27% from 3. Despite this, he is leading the team in 3 point shots attempted by a pretty good margin. He's shooting 55% on 2p fga. Just needs to take better shots and not force so many.

Now there's big unexplainable news. Tim will be fine, he is learning, he is maturing, that is what a college basketball player does over his career.  He is still learning how to play on a team, and he did get a couple of key baskets late, and played some great defense in the 2nd half as well.  The great thing about sophomores is that they become juniors!  Chill!
