Wow. What the heck?
Wow. What the heck?
We ain't been playing that great lately, maybe
Well if you have noticed not only our games but other SEC games then yeah thats a decent spread/
When a team is capable of giving up 18-25 made threes a game, it is hard to set a spread.
Our best defender is back today. This is not one of the best teams we've played.
And starting off 0-5.
The refs aren’t calling any fouls at all. NMSU is fouling the crap out of us. They are okay but have been decimated with injuries. I’ve noticed the spreads aren’t that indicative of the teams. For instance, Virginia is only a 10 point favorite on South Carolina.
Up 8-4 at the 12 minute official timeout. Our defense is much better today but our offense isn’t clicking (mostly because of the no call fouls on NMSU). Have to rebound better though.
We know how to string together some turnovers
4.5 might be reasonable. We're down 10-9 after the first 11 minutes of the game.Quote:

Yeah, nevermind. I forgot Perry was totally useless now.
Howland is a washed up has been. He can only recruit. He can’t motivate worth a shit. This is an every game occurrence. Go down big to a lesser team. Whether we come back or not, this can’t be the new normal for this team. 16-10 under 8 minutes to go in first half.
Every time one of ours guys gets two hands on a rebound and somehow the other teams gets it might as well be a turnover
And to add salt to the wound. Richard Cross is calling our game and he is giddy.
Why are there three 3-point lines on the floor? Is it high school, women, men?
We can't catch or hold onto the ball to save our lives. These guys are almost as bad as our receiversQuote:

Perry, if he?s the great player he?s supposed to be, should dominate in games like this.
He doesn?t.
We suck right now and very well may just not be a good team, but Ado has really improved. He's playing with more effort, toughness, and aggressiveness
Most of our historically best basketball players aren't our big time recruits. Not sure why it never quite translates smoothly.Quote:

And Nick W has 3 fouls...
He's juiced up and trying to show off with his athleticism today. I get it because he's been out for a year but need him more as a veteran than a highlight reel.Quote:

We are playing awful. Everyone.
We'll probably come back and win but this shit is getting old. This team is boring, uninspired, and frustrating.
When Nick gets back
This team just sucks as far as no identity. Just letting loose balls go to the other team. I bet NMSU has a ton of second chances points too.
Getting out rebounded by a smaller team is inexcusable.
Yep and ultra talented which is the cause of the most frustration. In our starting five, there are 2 five stars and 3 four stars and we get this shit.Quote:

Go back to the post I made about a month ago. New Mexico is almost assuredly an NCAA team. Radford has a great chance too. I said a month ago people would look back on these games and say they were good wins but in the moment we would not be pleased with how we looked in them.Quote:

That La Tech loss may hurt us big time especially if you pair it with a loss to another shitty non conference loss. This team is living on the edge definitely though.
We look a lot like Howland's old teams at Pitt. They won a lot, but were unwatchable.
So far the difference is FTs. Both Teams suck at shooting/
