Radford is 3-7 and if we beat NMSU they will be 7-7. The only way those teams are dancing is if they win their tourneys.Quote:

As a coach when you are struggling on offense, you switch defenses. Something like a 3 quarter court trap. Unfortunately, we don't have that in our toolbox. We are half court man to man and that's it.
This is an embarrassing "effort". We pretty much suck.
One thing I’ve learned on this board is that Ben Howland is a better coach than Kermit Lol
Howland can't make perry stop throwing up 3's and we play no transition D. ugly stuff right here
Howland needs to go imo. Why do the fans want to watch this shit?
DJ Stewart starting the second half was dumb as shit.
We wouldn't have these players without Howland.Quote:

This effort is awful. Hope we turn it around. They look like this game is an option. This is where Howland HAS to chew that butt, but he rarely does.
We should press and run. We have superior athletes. Use them.
100%. This team is built to run. Not Howland's style and he can't or won't adjust.Quote:

Also, and this to me is on Howland, why isn’t Perry getting the ball in the post EVERY time?
He’s a horrible floor coach. He didn’t used to be. He used to be passionate and would sit your ass if you gave this type of effort. Now he’s a soft has been that can still recruit. That’s about it.Quote:

Nice halftime adjustments by Howland musta been a helluva pep talk too. ***
This team is a joke! Lmao!!
I’m debating cutting it off and watching Dak.
Good thing the Cowboys game came on to save my eyes from watching this shitshow.
Better start pressing or we?ll lose this game
sit carter down.
Well, bye bye NCAA tourney.
Seriously, are we just out of shape? We don't do anything with any energy, including rebounding.
well said.Quote:

And now we are playing with effort but I think it’s too little too late. 14 point deficit down to 7. If we gave this effort at the beginning of the second half this is easily a 10 point win.Quote:

They have 10 more rebounds than we do. Including 12 off rebounds. That's juat plain bad. BTW do we even try to drive to the basket anymore?Quote:

I've already done that but recording the 2nd half of the basketball game just in case.Quote:

You might want to keep the BB game on.Quote:

Love the no call push off NMSU got away with there.
This NMSU team has 3 seniors, a junior, and a sophomore. Very similar team that had Auburn beat in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament.
We've played like total crap but if we can pull it out it will be a solid win.
We aren?t pulling it out.Quote:
