BTW, surprised at how many students they have there. Wasn't sure if they'd be back for this game.

every 4th play for La Salle on my gamecast says "Steve Zack Turnover." Is this guy just throwing the ball away repeatedly?

True that. In fact, they are filing Chapter 7 paperwork as we speak.

Gil won the Rhody Madness dunk contest with some truly athletic dunks. Kid can jump. When the real games are on, however, he only does the wimpy layups and push shots. Drives me nuts. FINISH STRONG.

Totally ATP. That little underhand, almost finger roll I guess, layup that he did a few minutes ago got me jumping off my couch. Of course it got swatted away with ease.

We have to be one of the worse offensive teams in the country.. Can't make FT's. Can't shoot layups. No offensive flow at all dribble dribble dribble and try to go one on one every trip down the court. Getting really frustrating watching these games. Where is the improvement...???

We're actually not bad defensively for the season... something like 80th nationally in D-PPP.

However, we're 265th in O-PPP.

Biggie continued to struggle in the first half. Nice production from Gil so far, lots of hustle and rebounding. Plenty of guys in foul trouble. We need some offense to start the 2nd half!

Breaking my in game silence vow.
Another shit game.
Can't shoot a damned free throw. After Marin went out, zero interior defense.
Offense which looks like dog crap. Big men who can't make layups.
Is Abu being paid to say wonderful things about Biruta?
Biruta had Matthews with nobody within 10 feet of him, and chose to duck his head and
misses a bunny, instead of passing it.
They talked about him being gassed in the first ten minutes. Why?
Is Munford even in this game?
They keep showing this ad with Gil as the face of the program on the floor.
Just disgusting. Of course the refs suck, too.
There is no improvement from last game. We're just not playing as good a team.
I HATE this!

We can play great, then terrible, all in the span of a few minutes.

Dan must be pulling out whatever hair he's got left.

Minnis and JR are pathetic. Dan says they aren't playing up to their potential, I say bullcrap.

They don't have any potential. Excuses.

Hurley needs to come out and say "We're just not very good". Admit it.

Other than Hassan, and EC [although he isn't playing great either right now] this team might actually be worse than last year's.

Rod, this layup and FT futility thing just never ends.

How much of it is between the ears, and how much of it is lack of talent?

Even EC can't make them tonight.

I REALLY want to see what Watson can do, to improve the inside game. Because other than a freshman [Hassan] we don't have any.

If we had more quality depth, my guess is, Biggie wouldn't be playing just like Powell wasn't.

Biggie cannot play in the halfcourt offense, end of story. Somewhat effective in transition when he has floor space and numbers.

8/16 from the line. Down by 8. Wonderful.

Not saying we should hit them all, but we miss front end of 1-1s which cheats us out of more potential points. It also allows defenses to be more aggressive because they aren't scared of our FT shooting.
