I am ENCOURAGED!

[Majik45]

I was encouraged with our rebounding last night, especially in the first half. We did not give up many 2nd chance points.

Andrew Warren STILL has a league leading 17.7 ppg scoring average...

I hope AW watches film and learns from the Duke game. He was scared and totally dominated by Singler. I know Singler is an All-American and future NBA player, but I would have like to see AW play as fearlessly as Walt and some of our other guys.

AW will be alright..... and I think he'll have a fine MVC season.

I hope AW watches film and learns from the Duke game. He was scared.....

I noticed this many times. WAY too timid. Passed up several easy shots out of fear.

[bu fan 9]

Aw has always been soft we just have to hope he can score most of the time.

[houstontxbrave]

Ill be encouraged when this team plays hard every single night or how about just 2 games straight.

Playing hard at Duke is one thing but how about playing hard against the EIU's etc of the world?

Show consistancy, not once every 9 games.

BTW DD played the point guard position last night as well as anyone. I think he deserves a lot of praise.

I hope this type of game brings this team together and makes them want to be great and play as a team. I have serious doubts the effort is duplicated much from this point forward.

I will agree with this much....Bradley, under Les, has failed at having consistent efforts very much.

This team and the coaches need to find a way to make sure this happens.

[Future Walk-On]

I am just happy that we dunked the ****ING BALL.

[Chico]

I was encouraged by WE's aggressiveness, especially his one drive to the basket for the dunk, IMO the most impressive dunk of the night. But still concerned about JP's failure to make the easiest layup. Nothing wrong with kool-aid Missori. Keep it up.

I think we can ALL agree with that JD. But, ask yourself this, how many mid-major programs in the country could have consistent efforts when every year they lose one or more key players that the offense is built around?

I'm losing patience with Les and Bradley like many on this board but, let's face it, the man has rarely had a full deck of cards at his disposal.

What I noticed was our leading scorer being hounded on defense by a likely 1st team All-American and 1st round NBA draft choice, who is 2 inches taller and 20 pounds heavier than AW. Smart coaching move by Coach K.

[romar]

Agreed. Let's start beating the EIU's and WCU's on our schedule before starting to talk about a conference title.

Do they get to play them again?

[romar]

I may be alone but give me those three starters and we give them a close game......

Coach K agrees with you, at least that's what DR reported today.

Yes but I am being serious and biased for sure...he was just being nice.

Seriously though.....its a ten point game with us at full strength. JMHO.

Either way it doesn't matter as these guys, well two of them, aren't coming back. Those here need to elevate their game.

Keep working hard guys....

I am a HUGE fan of JP, but think his small school background is killing his offense. Once he realizes that he now has both height and bulk and starts attacking the rim instead of tossing the ball at it he is going to be a beast. He needs to start imposing his will on guys his size rather than trying to quick release shots over them. Maybe JL can get Pollard and Funches to come in and work with JP!!
