Brian Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) If anyone wants to watched a very confused basketball team, turn on espnu at 6. Hopefully will be on espn360 since I don't have ESPNU. This season will be easier to take if you just resign yourself to the fact we will take our lumps. Let the frosh and sophs play.

He's a talented dude, he's just completely lost on the court at this point. I'd like to see his and Bocot's minutes go up a bit. We'll see though, Lowery isn't the type of coach that just lets the young guys play most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I haven't paid as close of attention as usual this year. What's up with SIU this year? What seems to be the problem? What is their record right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with SIU this year? What seems to be the problem? What is their record right now? I'll save you a whole lot of reading and just say that literally everything is going wrong. We're 5-8 with no signs of improving at this point. I think everyone expected some growing pains with such a young group but we also expected for things to improve as the season went on, and so far we're just getting worse. There is some talented guys on this team but we just can't put everything together. If a team goes on a little bit of a run, everything just seems to collapse all at once and that's pretty much happened every game this season. It's just a bad basketball team at this point. EDIT: On a side note, your Aces are much, much improved this season. Edited January 4, 2009 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 We're such a dumb f***in team, thanks to Dillard we're only down 36-31 at half though. Dillard's halftime line: 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists. Everyone else has just been pure garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 06:48 PM) Guess UNC is beatable. Roy's "Charmin soft" recruiting strategy is frustrating. He ends up with a lot of good people and good basketball players, but none ever tough enough. The only tough player I remember him recruiting is Paul Pierce. Roy won't seem to recruit Paul Pierce, Rashad McCants types anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy won't seem to recruit Paul Pierce, Rashad McCants types anymore.I don't know how Ginyard & pycho T qualify as soft, and Alex Stephenson who transfered due to family health issues was a brute, but if you see toughness as a flaw in Roy's recruiting, okay. I think they will be just fine even after this BC lose has "exposed" their Charmin like qualities.

Felix Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Also, the Minnesota student section (not sure what they call themselves) heckled me the entire game and even started a "We Want Titus" chant towards the end of the game. A big thanks goes out to Minnesota's team for reading, but definitely not for beating us senseless in the game. And a thank you goes out to the student section for supplying the first "We Want Titus" chant ever on the road. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
