I cannot remember losing this many at home and the sad thing about it is we could have won every one of the games we lost as we were ahead in all but one of them .
It seems to me that most of our players get tight down the end and wait for Sammy to make something happen, I just wish A.W. would call for the ball and take over the game at the end but he just has not done this for whatever reason.
AW has proven over time that he is not who we thought he was...
He has become more of a role player than star player...
Sadly, I agree with you SLB. AW is a good kid and a good player but it is now apparent that he is not a #1 option for a winning team....... And there's NOTHING wrong with that! This is NOT a knock on AW! It's just the way it is. There can only be one #1 guy on a team and it is not and will not be AW. Our #1 is Sam Maniscalco...... and that's too bad because a 5'10 pg should not be the #1 option on a winning team.
I disagree about Warren slightly because he was taking it right at Osiris in the first half and scoring. He seemed to be relishing in the fact he was taking it at the Pre-season player of the year and was wanting the ball in the post. I have no idea why he doesn't command the ball at the end of games like last night.

He is a ghost more than a player, at times when this team needs him to step up
Unfortunately there aren't many on this team that are willing to step up when necessary...
This also leaves the ball with Sammy and everyone knows it...
We need some players with bigger stones....(sorry, had to be said)
Right now we're just stuck with players who are fragile and break down the stretch and a coach who in 8 years hasn't learned enough over time to micro manage in game, still takes awful timeouts, makes poor substitution choices, and still doesn't know how to win close games down the stretch.
Where are the Tony Bennett's and Will Franklin's when you need them?

Well Will Franklin was sitting with Daniel Ruffin last night, not sure how the NCAA would have felt if we would have put him in a uniform for the last 5 minutes
I could be wrong, but it appreared Les drew up the final couple of possessions as clear outs for Sammy to go one and one and try and get to the basket.
On the one it didn't even appear as if he was considering kicking it off regardless. I don't know if this is Sammy's determination to take the tough shot or his lack of confidence in anyone else stepping up and making a shot.

Which is why I don't understand how JE doesn't get more minutes. He played 4 minutes and had 3 pts. He is one of the few guys who aren't afraid to mix it up on the boards even though he usually out sized in there with the trees. If I'm correct he didn't even see the floor in the 2nd half.

Unfortunately Jake's strength to his game also becomes his weakness as he can mix it up on O, but if he gets fouled it becomes, Uh Oh.
