What minutes did Damonte Williams earn?  28 mpg to do nothing on the court.  Nothing.

If defense is nothing, you are right. You don't know jack shit about basketball.

What defense?  Frazier was the best on ball defender on the team. 

Plummer couldn’t guard anybody and he played a ton of minutes

Just admit there’s nothing on a basketball court that Damonte Williams did better than Podz. Nothing.

Monte could guard 1 - 4. Podz couldn't guard a lane agility drill cone.

Podz LEAD THE WCC in REBOUNDING as a 6’5 guard.  What guard, who leads his league in rebounding, can’t play defense?  Rebounding and defense go hand in hand.

And if he can’t guard anyone at the Big 10 level, then why is he now a projected 1st round pick?

You know who couldn’t guard anyone?  Skyy Clark.  Every team went after him.  He STILL PLAYED FAR MORE than Scencire Harris who can play defense.

You are fucking retarded.  Just admit that Underwood played far far inferior players (even players who were terrible at defense or added 0 offensive value to the team) and it’s bc he’s a dumb shit.

Nobody ever improves. Kendall Gill was an NBA player. Why did he play behind Glynn Blackwell?

Ken Norman and Scott Meents, NBA players, played behind Efrem Winters and George Montgomery. Henson must have been dumb.

Dom is a genius. Underwood is an idiot. Yet,

Now you're basically just making it up.

Look up ‘83-‘05 ish we are right there with anyone for tourney berths. It was a long time ago that I looked it up but I think Duke and maybe only a couple other programs had more over about a 25 year stretch.

Hahahaha, there’s “basketball stupid” and then there’s “if you rebound of course you’re a great perimeter defender”.

Legitimately the worst basketball take you’ve ever posted and that’s a mind-blowingly high bar.

You’re not a very smart person, Dom.

All of those years were shitty failures though, things like conference titles and making the tourney every year and sending guys to the NBA are things only people who want a loser program like.

He may be fairly intelligent. He clearly doesn't know the first thing about team sports. He is not even aware that playing team is earned in practice.

This is interesting. If UW could get over the hump in March.... we would have something. Most wins in BT vs ranked teams.

What defense? 

“He’s 6-3 (and) he’s got close to a seven-foot wingspan and we ask him to guard (centers) at times and (power forwards) at times who are 6-9 or 6-10,” Underwood said

Trent was our best defender.

Plummer was not a good defender due to his size and agility, but he was a veteran player. He understood the scouting reports and his assignments.

Podz was completely lost.

The only one that is pretending is you Baghdad Bob.

You are pretending that a 1st round NBA pick is worse than Damonte Williams.

What league is Damonte Williams playing in?

Go tell some NBA GMs that Damonte Williams is better than Podz
