I thought the team played well. Dunlap had no plan with 11 seconds on the clock. That was Normesque. Some were meant to hold the clipboard

Without a timeout and a team leader on the floor, what should he have done. I am curious, not criticizing your comment.

Did GG really have zero rebounds or were we being facetious?

Home from the game...

Really was a good game.   Neither team is great, but we played much better to start the game, and to start the second half then we did in either of our last two games. 

It's not a moral victory.  We should have won.  But there's no shame in giving the guys support for playing playing hard.   And it's not just that they played hard; you're right Will... that should be expected at the D1 level.   But our guys tried to play as a team, and for stretches they did.  No one dominated the ball or played for themselves.  They tried very hard to do the things they're being taught. 

This is a good team.  They're are definitely some holes.  But the future is bright.

  He should have never called the timeout IMO.  We seemed to have 'Nova out of sorts.

No doubt.

Amir Garrett gives us literally nothing on the offensive end of the court. He can't shoot and is too scared to shoot, his ball handling is poor...what happened to all the hype this kid was gonna bring?

it's sickening to see posters throw around the "good effort guys!" and "atleast we played hard!" posts.  That is how LOSERS talk.  All that matters is W's...

good comments as I am recently home from the game.  the lads played hard and did not give up--even in OI when they were down by 7.  I thought we got jobbed on a number of calls--Sir's hard foul was clean as he had ball.  would like to hear what those who saw it on TV thought based on commentary/replay

NEWSFLASH:  we have a team of freshmen who are on scholarship who have never won anything at this level in their lives.  THEY SHOULD BE PLAYING HARD.

We all realize these kids are freshmen, but that doesn't mean at this point of the season they should play like they did down the stretch today.  It screams to a lack of fundamentals, bad coaching, and lack of offensive ability. 

Yes, our kids played hard...but so does almost every team in america.
