I make no excuses for tonight but we got jabbed on a few calls in my view; in a close game a call or two can make a big difference. Where else on the internet can you find content like this?

Whether Teague played sucky or not I think a sucky coach had a lot to do with how bad we looked at the end of that game. I would like to know what the plan was for the last shot? My initial thought was down 2 players we don't want ot we shoot a 3 hopefully Mallers or 2ndly El amin but that didn't look to be what we were trying.

There is no way I put this on the officials. They were not perfect by any standard, but another offensivly slow offensive start and free throw shooting cost us this game. Its a mental breakdown. It's on the coaches. We don't get 26 shots from the foul line if we are getting hosed by the refs.

There is nothing particularly exciting about this team. It's another lost year. I’ve completely lost interest in basketball because of this. Whits teams have not been interesting in general. There’s rarely much personality and that mirrors that coach. Persons had some zip (until last year) but otherwise the team/program has been very vanilla. There’s been no guy with “it.” No electricity. Whitford’s recruiting has resulted in a team full of ok players. None particularly quick or flashy. Most not particularly athletic, Teague and Walton being the exceptions. The style of play hasn’t been scintillating. And, most of all the results have been mediocre. We know how things are gonna go every year. Decent non conf. Maybe a nice upset, followed by an up and down conference season complete with a late yeAr collapse. Mix in uninspiring recruiting classes and Basically it’s a program in which the boat is stuck going in a big circle. I could get beyond the uninteresting teams, choppy and inconsistent play, the coach having no personality whatsoever and lack of being able to recruit star power players if we won reasonably regularly. And I don’t mean the occasional 20 win season to nowhere, I mean WINNING something. Meaningful wins, Tourney wins. Something to generate excitement and buzz. We are a buzzless program with a buzzless coach continuing that long drive to mediocreville. It’s gotten really old and appears it will never change.

You want to see a bad stat line, check out Bumbalough from last night. This is what happens when poor recruiting forces you to give major time to kids who aren't ready.

And that was without NKU having their stud point guard. Luke will be ok eventually, but not yet. Our “top recruiting class in the MAC” gives us very little. Kroft and Hendricks can’t play.

You know whose teams REALLY have depth?
Recruiters.

Recruiters. Ok Sherm...this theory you're posing is intriguing. So are you theorizing that recruiters recruit? Why haven't we tried this yet?

Its sad that in less than ten yrs NKU has gotten a better program in M Basketball than us. Can we find an AD to get us better coaches to change our standing? Let's face it in the MAC your Men's Basketball coaches either move up or get fired in 5 yrs.

Free throws, free throws. It is going to cost us more than one game. Get us to 70% or we will lose lots of close games. Man. You could copy and paste your message, and have used it over and over for the past 5 to 6 years for BSU. What the hell is it with BSU players not being able to hit FTs? The stats were pretty even for this game from what I can see on ESPN, except for FTs. I guess AAU ball doesn't care about free throws, so guys do not practice them? Are the guys too busy practicing their pre-game introuduction routine, rather than practicing FTs? We almost had double the steals, but it doesn't seem like we converted on the steals? Just curious.

I’m old school. Don’t need an MC. Need winning. And an interesting team and coach.
