To the above, there are Nesbitt moments where you’d swear the Legend had returned. He’s got to become more of our focus on offense. With more experience he could become our Perkins plug in.

Danny. Ain’t nothing bad about Liz. 

The missed FT’s can be attributed to tired legs I think if we’re gonna be a running team it’s time to give guys like Strickland, Traore, Williams some minutes, say 5-7 at least.  We all oohed and aahed about our perceived depth at the beginning of the season. Where did it go is the question that needs to be addressed. No doubt losing Linssen hurt last night, but their was a W staring us right in the face and we turned our backs on it.  
This team can beat anyone in the A10, but it can’t do it on tired legs. 

Cheesy foul on Yurimania. 

Nesbitt doing a lot of little things right. He’s gotta be on the floor. 

We ain’t gotta chance unless we start hitting some 3s. We can run with these guys but have to get better shots. Kessler’s an Osunui on D. We ain’t gonna get a lot on the inside. Pearls an irritating SOB. Expected the TOS but not being ice cold from the 3. 

Well, if Travis leaves, I nominate Billiken Roy for HC. He’s been screaming this for 3 years. Push the ball! Speed it up! Use our athleticism! Fast break the fouck out of them! 

I think Yurimania read the naysayers on here and said, how you like me now?

Last play was nice though.

Every game is gonna be a frigging struggle. We should get used to it. 

First half, we’re 4-13 on layups. It was 18-3 at the 12:33 mark so we were outscored 23-14 the rest of the way. I don’t like the trend.

I would like to see Williams come in and smack a team with like 3-4 3s in a row. 

Gibby needs better sneaks. He slips a lot.😎

Jimer needs new kicks!

Williams is still an enigma. I have to think his issues are on the D side. We’re scoring at a good enough clip, so we don’t really need him for points. We’re not defending or rebounding as well as Ford wants, so I’m thinking Williams isn’t up to what he expects we need on those fronts. 
My major concerns at this point are Yurimania playing out of control at times, and our poor D board work. We won’t win many games by racking up 12-15 TOS and losing the rebounding battle by double figures every game. 

When Ford sees the other team getting so many second chances, why not play Linssen and Okoro together plus keep Nesbitt, TJ, and either Yurimania or Jones at the PG? Maybe even let Nesbitt run the point and keep Jimerson in. That way we have our best board guys in the game. I found myself screaming more at their second chances than I did at missed open shots. Although I cried a little when Gibby missed on that wide open 3. If our bigs aren’t in foul trouble, and we’re having trouble collecting D rebounds the two posts together makes sense. I said at the end we lost because of our lousy D board work. Way too many second chance points beat us. 
 
 

My take on Yurimania is why is he driving so often so deep into the trees guarding the hoop? A reliable 3 pt shot would make him dangerous. 

One thing different about Yurimania in these last 5-6 games he’s driving the ball into the forest and losing it like a FR  PG. I don’t know why he’s doing it.

White knuckler, nail biter, 8 scotcher, hair puller, kick the dog. 

Dare I say it Deandremania! 

I think best first half on O we’ve played. D worked hard, but they got some players. I don’t think zone or man matters. I think the keys are limit the TOs and keep pushing it on em. Oh, and stop their 2nd chances.
