Title: This team is regressing before our eyes
Post by: Doris Burkes Thong on February 15, 2011, 10:31:44 PM
We're now losing to quality teams(as in NCAA tourney teams) by double digits on our home court. Frustrating.

Yep, this team was better a month ago

Otule is definately making progress though, which is a bright spot.

Seems like since the last 5 minutes of the Louisville game this team has not been the same.  Especially in the second half of every game

Yeah, that Louisville loss was one of the worse losses in program history. Unless u have a veteran team who's experienced some heartbreak I don't know how that doesn't affect guys confidence for the rest of the year.

Exactly. Since that game, something has been off.

The talent is there. The play is not. I like Buzz, but I think it falls on his shoulders.

By the way, Buzz is a numbers guy. I am sure the abysmal defensive numbers he has posted are not lost on him. The question is, what does he do to fix them?

I definitely agree with this. but, as i learned tonight, St John's had a 21 point come-from-ahead loss @fordham earlier this year. fordham is certainly no Louisville, and i'm sure their arena is not the caliber of the YUM! center. how were they able to overcome that loss and we have not?

They handled it better?
