Since we lost Versace as coach which I use as my frame of time reference, we as a team miss so many {most often} wide open layups mirroring our lackluster ability at the free throw line where there is no guard whatsoever. There has been talk and talk and talk about it; STILL, nothing changes. Does any one out there have any idea what has been, is and apparently continues to be the cause of this? On the road or at home. It does not matter. This shortcoming follows us without fail. Surely somebody out there has information behind the 'why' of why this continues to take place!!! Thanks and Merry CHRISTmas!

There has got to be some place we can go to have fun! -
Missed layups and horrible overall shooting, giving up offensive boards, virtually no perimeter D. Just an overall bad team this yr I do believe. These problems shouldn't be this bad after 9 games on what is suppose to be a good team. We are getting humiliated, correction, annihalated by an average at best team. We can only hope for an MVC tourney miracle.

Sighhh, more missed FT's. Think it's time for another one of those Oklahoma practices.

Less Collins, More Brown please...Originally posted by understandingthetruth View Post
Oh sorry...yeah, to answer your question....should I go w/ the mental toughness bs answer or actually be honest unlike a particular individual?
Either way we're still at that point where we STILL substitute ourselves right out of momentum, we STILL play the wrong guys too many minutes, and we STILL have no defensive concept whatsoever

St.Louis you must be watching the same game I was because with Brown in we played well, with Collins in we were getting humiliated.Comment

Collins gets a rebound ocassionally if one falls right into his hands

Here's a crazy thought - how about going with a real frontline just once. Put Brown, Collins & Wilson in all at once & one less guy shorter than 6'.Originally posted by SaintLouBrave22 View PostBrown rebounds...

I'm sorry I didn't mind the 3 guard offense when two of the guards were 6'5" (JC & AW), but the truth of the matter is they need to go bigger.Comment

I don't disagree w/ the assessment but at this point, why not Thompson, Brown, and Wilson....Originally posted by romar View Post
Also, we play a much better team concept w/ Norris and McCain out there and even Dunson....
You can probably guess who that leaves out w/o me saying.Comment

I think they need to give AT minutes, but he is way too weak, plus with TB & AW pulling down the rebs, that leaves DC to do what he has finally started doing with some success this year - blocking/altering shots.Comment

I will respectfully disagree with your assessment on the player to remain nameless. It may just be me, but I think he is getting more attention this year from opposing D's and that is why he's not shooting like he did last year. If you were going against BU who would you try to stop? In the TV games, he's generally the guy they feature as who will have to carry the load for BU. He is the closest thing to a go to guy for opposing coaches to go after. I hate to pull out the Soph slump, but a ton of people had given up on JC too and had him transferring to IWU after his Soph year. I think there is still alot of good BB in Mr. NamelessComment

I'm not even talking about his shooting to be honest....Originally posted by romar View Post
His defense or lack of leaves much to be desired as for whatever reason he goes ADD for periods of games and sags off the best shooters on the opposing teams.
I don't fault HIM in particular for most of what goes on as I know you're only as good as the situations you are put in....
Not only does he usually have to guard much longer players than himself, but they're usually quicker as well....AND on top of that, he is playing in a defensive scheme that not even Michael Jordan could succeed in.
I also believe that he is told at times to take things upon himself a bit too much and he forces shots and allows himself to dribble into turnovers...once again, not his fault because hey, he's just doing what he's told...
The one thing I can't get on him for is that he hustles and plays hard all the time...never just going through the motions like a particular tall individual we have.Comment

as long as we are listing thing needing explaining....
can someone tell me what is meant by "nylon music"?Comment
-
Not sure if your being sarcastic LOL, but nylon music is when a team is shooting hot and the ball continously swishes thru the net. That swish sound is nylon music.

"string music" whoch does actually make sense as a basketball slang term.
Nylon music just doesn't make sense.Comment
