I'll say Eastern by 4. Why? Our offensive rebounding has been horrendous lately, our three point shooting,our general offensive woes. I see James Thompson having a big night oth offensively and defensively and our bigs in foul trouble. Hope I'm wrong. Nailed it.

Yea and we have nothing coming in to replace a lackluster Moses. Thompson is a man amongst boys tonight. No comparison in talent. As bad as it is with Moses guarding Thompson, can you imagine what it would be with Huggins instead? Who's Huggins? You mean the forgotten man at the end of the bench? I've said all year he needs some minutes every game to prepare him for next yesr.

"We're a lot closer than the record indicates to putting together a string of wins here." James Whitford in his post game comments. Which means absolutely nothing. A loss is a loss.

Jimmy One Win: "The league is good," Whitford said. "It's the best it's ever been in the history of the conference, and believe me, I want to be on the correct side of the ledger more than we are. We need to make some shots, and we have to play better."
Whitford added: "We're a lot closer than the record indicates to putting together a string of wins here."
Alternate version: The MAC has completely passed us by. We're a handful of shots away from being a 3-win team.

Defense is a liability and shoots ok. Whitford - We're a lot closer than the record indicates to putting together a string of wins here. Bill Parcells - You are what your record says you are

Basketball is much easier to fix than football but here we are year 6 and he is having maybe his worst season but has his best collection of talent. I almost NEVER say "I told you so", but my Whitford-critical posts after year ONE were pushed aside when I said: How does a good coach take the same team that went 15-15 (8-8 MAC) the year before and come up with 5-25 (2-16 MAC) the next year?I was told it was the new system Whitford was putting in place that would make us better once everyone understood it. I'm assuming this system is very difficult to grasp here in year 6. (Please look at Dambrot going to Duquesne for making my point)

You weren’t and aren’t alone in that, tarheel. But, as we’ve been told, culture and system change take time and you’re finally seeing the results of it in year six!

(Please look at Dambrot going to Duquesne for making my point)Yeah that's back when the boards buzz words were "sophisticated motion offense" and "highly skilled". Then they suddenly re-clutched and came up with "small ball" and "multi-position recruits". Next year it will be "reloading" and "ball control offense". That's of course assuming Whitford is back.

Cmon guys, I mean, we're only a few buckets short of a championship level team here.

We have been complaining about his myopic disregard for recruiting bigs and shooters. Now suddenly he seems perplexed by his teams poor shooting and lack of rebounding. How stupid does he think the fans are ? How can you coach college ball in Indiana and not have guys who can shoot ?

I was really surprised Mallers is shooting 31% from 3. 71% of his shots come from 3 so that's kind of important.

Thru 17 games, we officially reached Last Place in MAC 3FG % We were already trailing everyone in 3FG made.

Yeah, Gunn has taken 50 shots in conference play, 42 were three pointers and he has hit only 12 of them. We have no one who can shoot on this team.
