I didn't like the intentional foul by Benson. Doesn't leave you any margin for error. BG out thinks himself sometime. With a 4 pt lead just play defense

From the looks of the box score, it looks as if 9 players had at least one turnover. NINE. That's hard to do.

I like how Jeff P. tried to cover for himself. "I thought the 10 ft fade away at the buzzer was a going to go in for sure"

Love the announcer on the video feed after CCS missed the three at the end of the game. "And we're going to go to overtime!!".
He tried to cover it up, but obviously just had no clue what was going on. He just assumed that the 2-handed push shot push back that was hurried with a half a second to go, from 10 feet mind you, was going in.
World's worst call in an otherwise frenetic final possession.

Not smart basketball. Lucky tonight to say the least. Hope Juwan is back soon because JP is not a point guard. He's a shooting guard, spot duty point, and a nice piece of the puzzle some nights. Still don't get it defensively. Still can't put it together for an entire game. Tonight I think they maybe played 5-7 minutes with real intensity. That will not get it done. Lucky.

I agree on Parker. How can he think he is a point guard. A 5'11" guy who cannot dribble to the left would be lucky to start on a good high school team. He is a shooter period. No defense, no passing and scared to dribble left.

I really hope nobody tries to put a positive spin on this one. We are plain and simply not a good basketball team. We should beat this team by 15-20 even without Staten. Saturday could get ugly or they might come out and actually play hard because it just doesn't look like they are playing very hard most of the time.

Are some of you guys serious about the horrible broadcasters? After watching that mess of a game...? Like complaining that the doctor didn't use a big enough nozzle for your colonostomy.
I'm going to make sure to be busy on Saturday night...hopefully making merry, merry..enough to forget the Flyers are playing. Might not check the score till Monday morning....Hell, they keep playing like this might as well not check back at all....

We don't knock down cutters. We don't deny passes. We don't hedge. We don't pick up ball on the break. We just slide around and watch as the other team runs their offense. Awful.

This is a similar team to last year's personnel, but not even close on the court. What a bunch of underachievers. The teams with less talent played these kind of teams better a few years back.

Do you watch these games? We are playing poorly against poor competition. If that doesn't change soon, there are going to be serious issues. I don't think BG is happy with the play, so what is wrong with us pointing it out? They were pretty bad tonight, period.

Most people aren't pointing out bad play, they are flat out insulting the team and the coaches. Just win baby, we have beaten some good teams along the way too.
It's amazing how down this forum gets on our own **** players and coaches and it goes way beyond "pointing out poor play".

If what you say is true and I don't deny it is, that means this team has only one point guard. NOT GOOD!!!

The team did stink tonight but how are we similar to last years team with 5 seniors graduating and 7 players who received none or very little time last year on the court?
The positive I found tonight was CJs play and 16-19 from the ft line. Our post defense took another step backward. IMHO

I haven't seen any "flat out insults." They were bad. They played bad, they played dumb. They seem to lack much of a basketball IQ. Those are just observations. I'm not saying they are bad people, just a bad basketball team.
I would agree with the "just win" mantra if we had shown we were capable of it, but we have put together only a few minutes at a time of good basketball. Luckily for us, they were for big stretches against Akron and Ole Miss. But I promise you nobody is looking at our W/L record and getting fooled that we are a tournament team right now. And I'm sure the coaching staff (and majority of the fans) aren't pleased with how we've played. But if you believe I have said anything that is incorrect, please feel free to explain how I'm wrong rather than complain about posters being "too down."

We are really struggling playing full court defense. BG needs to consider dropping back and packing it in a little bit. Teams spread us and pick us till they get a layup or open 3 because of our double teaming.

No one is insulting the team and coaches, and would you please name the good teams we have beaten because I can't find any. And when you name those teams don't just tell us their record tell us who they have beaten.

We now know how much JS means to this team. He can break down the defense-noone else can really do this. if he plays we win by 15-18 points-it's not just his ballhandling but he sets up others and we certainly wouldn't have had 20 TO's.

Ok, I'll try this and see what happens
The good news:
* we won-- I think. The announcer tried to say we didn't.
* we basically won the game with last years team minus the seniors
* Josh removed all doubt in my mind--he's a 2
* we had 20 turnovers and still won
* we showed some resilience when CCSU went on the 9 point run
to go up 49-42---came right back at them and went ahead.
* 84% ft shooting may have saved the game
* 7/19 from 3pt was good
* killed them on the boards after the first 10 minutes
* scrappy, if not frantic, chasing loose balls
*Wright learned a good lesson--two quick fouls and you are sitting pal.
The bad news (sigh):
* maybe the worst interior defense we've had in years (I won't mention the "K" word)
* basketball IQ lower than I thought possible.
a) why does Josh P foul before the ball is inbounded?
b) why does our 90% foul shooter, Paul, give the ball up to a wing at the
end and let CJ dribble at warp speed and turn it over?
c) how does Josh P get isolated on their 5 and not get help?
* Staten may mean the difference between 20 wins and 13 wins
* 20 turnovers is bad, but get this: CCSU only had 3 steals---we turned it over often
without their pressure.
* CCSU forward had a career night shooting 10/14= 22 points.
When it's all said and done, we really showed amazing character to pull out a win. We could have folded in
the face of mistake after mistake.
Bring on Old Dominion and pass the Maalox Plus.

Just grab a cold one and turn on channel 7 at 4:00 pm - you can get a head start on your evening of merrymaking with some more horrible broadcasters.

We may be 7-2, but it feels like 3-7. I thought we played pretty well against Akron and Miami, which are both pretty good teams. And there is the Ole Miss game. The rest of the games have been rather alarming. We didn't deserve to beat Savannah St. or CCSU.
I don't want to insult players or coaches, but let's face it, we haven't played well this year overall. I am starting to think we may be in for a rough ride.

Even my boston terrier looked at the TV puzzled when he made that call...MY DOG...!

I don't want to insult players or coaches, but let's face it, we haven't played well this year overall. I am starting to think we may be in for a rough ride.

I would have absolutely LOVED to see Bobby Knight call this game. He probably would have said something like "JS, Dayton point gaurd has a boot on tonight...but that doesn't explain the coaching..."

So, if we had the losing record above we would have played one more game?
I found this funny this morning in looking at some of the last posts on this thread. Don't get me wrong, it would surely feel like we had played one more game if we had that many losses.

How come on a game thread noone ever posts the time remaining and the score?
We should have two game threads, one for actual updates on the game and one for the pi$$ and moan crowd.
