Cowboy II

-in the Post CFord is quoted when talking about defense "We change every game what we're trying to do" -- I thought defense was ALWAYS about trying not to let the other team score

-thanks Wiz

-so our leading scorer at halftime doesn't see the floor until over 15 minutes gone in the second half -then the head coach goes on the postgame interview and says "everybody needs to play"

-I would love to take the over but the only arrow possibly pointing in that direction is a renewed focus and commitment after the team meeting -call me skeptical that leads to seeing a different team for the remainder of the season

-Wiz you grade us in 9 areas and we have 7 of those in the D category

-CFord must really have no confidence in Curcic for him to not get minutes lately as the rest of the team sputters -very limited sample size but I wouldn't mind a bit more time for him to see if he really is a 38% 3pt shooter, was his defense comparatively that bad?

-I am anticipating seening an F or two on our defensive grades in the analysis of the UMass game, not looking forward to it, just figuring that's where we are

-are you Billiken Man on Twitter?

-I agree and include the others in that Twitter that was posted

-good luck to us -we now know attendance is not butts in the seats as there wasn't 5647 at the game -two incidents with chairs, Travis couldn't get out of his on the first attempt of the game, it was comical and then in the second half LH2 sits on one they bring to the court for timeout and it collapses -- I guess a third incident would have been electric -it must have been 5 possessions in a row where we did the exact same thing, dribble in front of our bench, attempt to set a screen, Davidson does the exact same thing and doubles us, let's the screener go and we have no idea what to do -Bruce was honored for Academic Achievement -I am lacking anger or passion and I don't like this numb feeling I have toward our program

-I hoped that didn't need blue font -a coaching search might be happening, though

-kind of unbelievable that you would schedule this as we approach the Final Four

-

-I sure hope your gut is right

-thank you for the correction of my typo -another line from CFord that got me last night was along the lines of Brad is practicing against freshmen so a big difference when he has to face Holmes

-Davidson averages 8 3pa per game -CFord used the line "those that are getting minutes" -CFord said go be the best defender, rebounder, screener (I laughed at this, I laughed a lot) scorer and you'll get minutes

-I hope all turns out well for Tim

-so you're saying The Weave and making plays off it isn't our offensive philosophy

-and how many for the program? -we have problems but they have had problems for a long, long time in very fertile recruiting area (yes, I realize that probably 200 programs recruit Chicagoland)

-from the Post article It’s going to be tough when we’re not scoring,” SLU coach Travis Ford said. “We have way too many deficiencies defensively. A lot of stuff we do offensively they did a great job of stopping. It’s a disappointing performance. We didn’t play well at all and our offense led to poor defense.” “We just have to find an identity,” Ford said. “We have a lot of inconsistencies and no rhythm whatsoever. We have to figure it out. We’re trying to find combinations at this point, not just starters. Just guys who put together positive production.” -smh

-at least we don't have any F's on our report card, that's a good thing, right?

-pretty sure someone posted earlier in this thread that the now former asst coach was not being allowed to interview

-fund it

-let's say 400 student athletes at a cost of $30 per s/a is $12,000 per day, I guessed at $30 per s/a and the 400 is from the BClub brochure -that adds up quickly -I hope we didn't build the garage and then not have the money to buy the car

-oh wow, thank you -synching the radio to the tv broadcast illustrates that Rammer and Earl sometimes see plays totally different than how the camera shows it
