Embarrassed

[BradleyBrave]

At least POB had MS and Boogie to help I am not going to point the finger at SS or WE

They have Taylor Brown. He's bigger and better than Lawrence Wright. We had an NBA center, a Big Ten power forward, and a couple of JUCO rebounders off the bench. I mean we tried to get some frontcourt depth; we went out and got Salley, Egolf, Thompson, Collins, Austin, and Wilson. It just didn't work out. It was a failure. Unfortunately in this line of work, that big of a failure usually ends up in people losing their jobs. It sucks that so much that's out of one's control directly affects their job, but that's what these guys sign up for when they decide to be Division I coaches.

I don't care who you are. If you only score 6 points in the last 9 1/2 minutes of the game YOU WILL LOSE.We started going to much one on one instead of looking for the good shot. At the end of the game we panicked.

Agreed and there was over 6 minutes in that same time frame we didn't score a point

Waiting for the spin and excuses for this one. Not from the staff or the players; they may be bad but they don't sugar coat or make excuses. But others can find every reason on Earth why this was OK. Waiting for that!

Yup...but there's 100 reasons why it's OK...don't worry, they're coming.

You're not going to hear excuses or reasons from me.

I'm ticked off just like everyone else!

We all are...we all are. It hurts. It hurts bad.

What happens or should I say what does not happen in that locker room at half time We come out again, as in most games this year and let the other team go on a big run in the first 2 to 3 min's. Tonight it was a 10 to 2 run in the first 3 min's If we even play them even in that time frame, we win?

Ok, well then our guards aren't good enough and our bigs aren't even serviceable. If we can't even get the guard part right, what are we doing?

And it doesn't take POB to win in the MVC, nor does it take an NBA player. Countless teams have shown us that since 1996.

but it does take some guards that can SHOOT ala crouch or guards that are over 6 ft tall so then they can see half way better of what the defense is going to possibly do... Thats why in football for an example you want a taller QB just so he can see what is going on

Just how bad is it?

1) We're bad. Kinda like Ixion's wheel.

2) Some think it's OK that we're bad.

3) Those who know we're bad don't care anymore that it isn't getting better.

And you/we have that right to be Don't like to be and don't want to be but I am and just plain disappointed to

Well, I have two questions -

1. Who brought in these guards? Not sure the size of the guards is the issue, but rather how good they are and how well they're being taught.

2. Drew Brees is 5'11", so is it really necessary to be tall?

You know it is bad when The Squirrel is hanging out and posting at BradleyFans.com.

I thought it was completely in their control and JL is directly and solely responsible for the wins and losses of this team.

i think simms-edwards is real talent.he already has a solid body and at 6 2 will be a real force in a year or two.

He is. And when people he's responsible for don't deliver, he's the one that pays the price.

I must be really striking a nerve...

Loved the way he finished at the basket while getting knocked around, as if he didn't feel anything. Very strong freshman.
