I didn't at all feel bitter, nor did I contemplate the unfairness of life and basketball. Not at all. It was totally fine. Really.

Ugh. That is all.

adam914

Providence shot 8-18 for 44% from the FT line tonight. I can't believe they didn't practice them at all this summer! What's wrong with those guys!!

adam914

Another thing about Thompson besides the defense. He needs to look for his offense. He didn't look at the basket once today. I know it's only his 2nd college game and it's all about gaining confidence. He's got ability. It'll come. We'll need some offense from him. Yeah like you said, just going to...

And not to take anything away from Dayton, but Alabama was picked to finish 10th in the SEC. They didn't beat Kentucky today. My hunch is Valpo would run Alabama out of the gym to.

adam914

Adam, you're right about Henton. So sorry. You know what? I'd take 74% any day of the week, for ALL of our players [except Four of course]. Right now we really don't have an adequate sample size for Akele, Thompson, and Iverson. Could they be any good? At FT's I mean. I wonder, because if were them...

adam914

Thompson got abused on defense a couple of times in a row. D is very important in Hurley's game. Akele doesn't seem to have a role right now. All this comes with time. Hopefully the rust comes off Iverson and sooner than later. Someone said Lamar. Lamar scored over 20 in his first two games, before...

adam914

woodenickel, yes that's true about Council, but they ALL improved dramatically, I was told they made a collective effort to improve by practicing on their own, and it worked.... So the years you are referring to where they ALL improved dramatically, by simply practicing was 2012-13 where they shot ...

adam914

Adam I don't know why you have to be such a jerk about things. You haven't offered anything other than criticize other peoples thoughts. Way to be!! It's because I am sick of hearing for years now that we stink at FTs because we don't practice them. It's a stupid thing to say, especially when it ha...

adam914

Adam, in my previous post, I mentioned that this is not lost on the coaching staff. What I'm saying, is that maybe they should practice them outside of the normal practices they have. Like, day and night. Night and day. It was also mentioned that Four went on the court after the game and started pr...

Just practice them! I can't believe Dan has never heard of practice!

adam914

I remember a couple of years ago, PC shot them at 60% as a team, and the following season, they ended up in the top 10 in the country, with the same cast of characters [plus one, Harris]. It CAN be done. Please. Maybe not Earl [hopeless], but the rest of them need to make their hands bleed shooting...

adam914

I agree with the no excuses for FT shooting. Something I took away from listening to Four after the American game is that he said he takes somewhere around 200 shots a day. At least 60 at the FT line. He says once you shoot that many it becomes natural to shoot those FTs. I don't know what Dan has ...

adam914

I love everything about this kid already...

adam914

Well at least I have the rest of the day off to sit around and be depressed!

adam914

I didn't realize offensive goaltending wasn't a rule anymore...

adam914

Well this has taken an unfortunate turn. Need to put a run together now or we're in trouble.

adam914

He needs to stop with all the jumpers.

adam914

Oh man EC on the broadcast!

adam914

If we can hold on and get out of here with the win, it'll be a big confidence booster coming off of the EC injury. I know that sounds simplistic, but I think it's really true. This Valpo team is not a bad team at all. 100% right, it is simplistic, but it's also true. No doubt about it. Gotta get th...

BIG 3 from Terrell to end the half!

adam914

Bullshit call on Iverson

adam914

Yeah as expected the offense is struggling big time. This is how its going to be now unfortunately. Jarvis looks like he's taken two shots to that knee already to.

adam914

Looks like they are waiting, tip at 10:05am

adam914

So then you are ranking teams based on how good you think they'll be, and not ranking them based on what has happened so far.

adam914

Hurry up with this N. Iowa game!!!

adam914

Same here, I also took the day off, and actually set my alarm for earlier then I normally do for work to get up and watch this one!

adam914

Totally TP. If thats what they are basing it on then it should be the "What We Think Will End Up Being The Top 25 Poll"

adam914

Great to hear about Garrett. Would have been big trouble without him to.

adam914

Can this Pats/Brady talk be taken elsewhere?

adam914

Pour one out for me Blue Man, wish I could be there!

adam914

You mean both teams fans think the refs were against them? No way!!

adam914

Um, what the hell is going on here?

adam914

Well with Jarvis potentially being out now, there won't be many other options. Thompson will have to start I'd think.

adam914

I wouldn't expect to ever hear anything 100% definitive. And whatever we do hear should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Safe to assume at this point its at least an ACL, anything more who knows. As Koch said at one point, they are going to control the message on this one as much as possible....

adam914

I do wish we had one more "easier" game on the schedule for the guys to get used to new roles, but what can you do. Gotta go out there and get the job done.

Is he a doctor on the side?

adam914

Can we get Dowtin enrolled by Tuesday somehow?

adam914

Yeah I totally thought that was just cramps to. I had finally woken up this morning and turned the corner on this EC news and now this! Hope he can play Tuesday. I'm sure he'll at least give it a go if he can.

adam914

So true Rhowdy. That town would shut down all winter if it wasn't for students. The town wants the money from the students, but then wants them to just sit in their room quietly like they aren't even there.

adam914

So many upsets in the openers!

adam914

E.C. pure class as always with that statement. Hope he comes back better then ever.

Robinson had something posted for a short time that he deleted as well. It also did not sound good. Again, I am going to assume that these guys know best whats going on.

adam914

These personal anecdotes about knee injuries are all well and good, but it doesn't take much reading between the lines of social media posts to see what happened here. If Hassan said it was an ACL, I am going to take that over comparing it to how someone else felt when they hurt their knee.

adam914

For what it's worth, I purchased it just to try out this year's streaming technology from CoxHub. Quality is clean HD, looks just as good as it does on my TV. Plays perfect on my Mac and on my iPhone, which means it will work great on iPads and just about any computer or modern smart phone. I would...

adam914

Much tougher schedule this year to. It's going to be tough, I guess it just depends on the progression of Terrell and Garrett and how Iverson develops here. Four looked good off the bench at least.

Didn't need EC to win this game.
Easily could just be the staff being overly-cautious...stay positive for now!

He had to be carried off the court. I hope I am dead wrong, but it's not good.
