Stick another fork in the BSU Bball program. Pathetic execution tonight. I really don't know why we don't post up Teague more. Mallers looks afraid to shoot the ball, Trey is so indecisive and Persons pressed way too hard to finish the game. We are not even a mid-pack team at this point of the season. Don't know if we owe Whitford, but we need to pay him out and start over. This is the same shit we have witnessed albeit earlier than our Feb. swoons. Do you guys really think we can go on the road and win a tournament game? I don't!

Buffalo ties up Northern Illinois with a late 3. 6 seconds left Northern up 2 with 2 seconds left Down goes Buffalo One or two more of those bad-matchup losses for Buffalo (they inexplicably lost to NIU last year too) and there goes automatic bid if they don't win the tourney. Three Days in Cleveland, just like every other year. Play for that.

Flawed roster, marginal fortitude when we get pushed, lousy bench coaching, no accountability and a system that is designed to push the ball and bring fatigue to our opponents...except we are the ones now with a short bench. Year six and walk on Josh Thompson is our best bench contributor and he’s obviously not very good. Serviceable but not able to do much. And for those pining for Ish and Hazen, you’re deluding yourselves. Ish was OK but not consistent and a marginal defender. We have no idea what Hazen even is. He has played virtually zero basketball in two years and only seven games for us. High expectations for either guy at this point even if they come back 100 percent from their injuries is fools gold. Yes we will have some depth but let’s face facts. We are a middle of the pack team who is traditionally soft under this coach who is clearly peaked in this position.

Based on comments on O’gara’s twitter feed, we aren’t alone in thinking that. Whitford/the team is killing off more fan support each week.

I will say this we are all pretty much in agreement with what this team is. I also think the coach's problems are the same yrly. This being BSU there will be no sudden changes on the bench. My hope now is to finish at .500.

Harsh, but fair right now! I do believe Ish, who was playing well when he departed and Hazen bring us considerably more depth! Hazen for minutes played showed he can rebound and looked be stroking the ball pretty well.
Mallers has lost confidence offensively and seems hesitant to shoot or drive! I thought he played better as a Sophomore.

What really sucks about all this is we might have argued about how good we were going to be but we all agreed we would be good. We are not good, we have holes that ish and Hazen will not fix. Im sure at some point this team will do something to trick some of us back to believing its all going to change but its fools gold. I have kept my mouth shut about whitford this year because I really did believe he might be finally turning the corner.. He has not turned anything he cant
