How can...
« on: January 18, 2016, 01:54:54 PM »
this team have a longer losing streak than the post Steel City Sexcapades team?  That group was nothing but a mere decimated shell when all was said and done.

This is a bad, bad season.  :(

I don't think we win. DePaul is also winless. But I think they are much better then us.

If we had Sima, we could beat Depaul. Remember, they don't get after it either.

I don't think we win. 

0-18?  How could we be that bad?  The post Pittsburgh team got a win before we were in the BE lite.

Even if they had not won, they only played 8 games before running out of season, so this losing streak would have beaten that, anyway.

I think they'll win one or two games. Just about every team has at least a few off nights. If we can reframe from acting like spoiled children on the court, and picking up technical fouls, we could steal a win when the opposing team has food poisoning or something.

Thing about that 03-04 team is that they played with pride. They didn't have much talent at all, but they gave it 100%. I went to that Georgetown game, and I saw walk ons outworking Georgetown. In order for this current team to compete, they're going to have to outwork the other guys. Unfortunately, we have a lot of players who either don't work hard, or don't know what they're doing.

There's no Darryl Hill on this team. That kid, before his knee injury, was a great player.

Marquette, 1 of the Seton Hall games, both games vs Depaul

Just how I feel. This team isn't 0-18 bad. They played well the first four BE games (the @ Providence score doesn't show how well they played and they were in it until that bull flagrant call on Amar)

If they could close they could have won the first four conference games. Yeah they were off the rails vs Gtown and Butler, but they can bounce back. A week without games could be just what they need.

I disagree. I think we throw a parade if we get to 2 wins. I hope you're right though.

In other news, Syracuse just beat Duke in Cameron. That should boost our RPI :)

My thoughts also, unfortunately. I thought we would be better than this , but they are young and we do have a lot of injuries. A healthy Sima and Williams would have been helpful.

once Sima got hurt we went from 4-6 wins to 2 or 3 would be great.  If he gets back some late wins are probable.

Agreed.  I recall him getting stiffed in the all-conference voting because the team was so weak.

Even with Sima we were not coming close to sniffing 6 wins. Cmon now. We lost to Incarnate Word and NJIT with Sima, we weren't winning 6 BE games no matter what, that is complete insanity

As the season progressed you would expect Sima to get better . Also, I don't think we ever saw a healthy Williams . He was supposed to be pretty good. I'm not saying we would have gotten 6 wins. But now, we are searching for 1.

Incarnate Word beat the shit out of us at home. 6 wins would have been unbelievable with Sima.
