Golden Wasted Effort Award - URI
Poor Josh...puts up a career high in points, earns another double-double, and UD loses big to URI in a home game. DDavis breaks Damon Goodwin's consecutive FT record...again, in a loss.
UGH!
So who laid an egg today...based on minutes played there's only few choices so a couple options are stretching things...but there have to be reasons some are playing so little.
Regardless, I love My Flyers!
King Rollo the Nurturer...OUT!

Crosby is just giving us nothing.

No one plays D or rebounds well. When we were down 7 or so with 5 minutes left, Crosby jacks a 3 and misses, then we give up a 3 on the other end. Then back to back layups by Rhody and suddenly it's 14. OTOH, you just aren't going to win many games with 21 - 22 TOs. Perfect case in point. DD has a perfect line on a 3, drives the basket and gets called for a charge. On another play, he drives half way and shoots a complete air ball from 12 feet. He's just too much of a head case. I get it, he's shot well this year in a number of games, but you just have to shake your d**n head and some of his plays.

Not to mention that he’s had a serious regression defensively. Last year he was a lockdown defender, this year he’s playing that el matador ‘Ole’ defense

I went XW. For so much promise after last year, he has totally bottomed out. He has regressed in every facet of the game. Today was just another game of chucking threes, no D, no rebounds, no desire to go inside. This kid used to pick up offensive rebounds and pick up points on put backs. Now, nothing. It's impossible to accept that he or the coaches can not look at last year, and recognize what made him successful.

Could have given it to any one of the 5 but I chose Darrell because 8 turnovers is unacceptable! URI only had 10 for the whole game! When the score was 7-2 we had two straight that we just flat out threw the ball away. The first one was when Cunningham was ahead of everybody on a fast break and someone (I can’t remember who) tossed the ball over his head out of bounds! The second was when Crutcher’s cross court pass was intercepted. They scored bot times so that was at least a 4 point swing!

Not going to vote today, because this was a team loss. Outside of Cunningham, they were better than us at every position.
DD had 8 TOs, but at least he was trying to drive to the hoop (and some of those TOs were on Charges). X frustrates the he!! out of me (0 boards?! Really?!), but he only saw 10 minutes of action. J. Davis didn’t score, but I think he gives more effort than the average Flyer, so I’m not going to “ding” him. Crosby only scored 1 point, but he had 0 TOs and 2 assists, and generally took better care of the ball than any other perimeter player (on a day when we didn’t take care of the ball). Crutcher had 4 TOs, but didn’t really play a “stupid” game. And Kostas wasn’t an option, but could have been, with 24 minutes on the court and only 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 argument with our lone Senior to show for it.
Nope. Team loss. To paraphrase Oprah: “YOU get a set of goat horns! And YOU get a set of goat horns! EVERYBODY gets a set of goat horns!”

Oprah is a season ticket holder at UD? Nope, nope, not so much.
Davis and Crutcher are Frosh...worthy excuse against Rhody.
BabyD didn't have best overall game; but without his contribution, wouldn't even be in the game...not that we really were.
if Cunningham played for Wright State, the Raiders would run the Flyers off the court.
Crosby needs to do the defensive shuffle drill with the strap held in both hands behind his back with his arms stretched side to side.
john and Josh need couples counseling...this marriage isn't working.
Kostas is Kostas!
The check republican seems to be forgotten by the staff.
You can laugh at the walkons all you want, but one noted radio walkon has a thousand points and a thousand rebounds. That's more than tiz, Hartsock, bedell, and BHall. Just saying...ha ha ha.
Essentially, that leaves the JuniorPride of Beatty. Wow,
That's an amazing transformation XWILLIAMS; causing the Senior original Pride of Beatty to ask are you "XEYRIUSLY XEYRIUS???"
Here is a clue Williams, wipe the pouting from your system, and re-engage. Your time at UD is short; stop crying and simply going through the motions; and get your head back in the game. Act like a man for godsake, because right now you are only bulls-hitting yourself, as we all know you are much more capable and better than this.
God loves you, I love you, and the fan-base loves you; so cut-the-crap!

Landers deserves some votes too. Fouled out with 2 rebounds. More, he gave up many rebounds to URI.

That's true, I accidentally left the "Glue-Man" off the list; but he over-performs so often when others dont, he gets a mulligan.

That's what happens when the PG is more interested in scoring than distributing the basketball.

Baby D's 8 TO
We had a pretty good FG % and 8 TO really hurts. If we make 3-4 of those opportunities (which was in the range of FG%) that is a minimum 6-8 more points and maybe play the game a bit tighter at the end ...
then again as we seem to lose focus at the end of half's and games ... maybe not
