Do you remember last week when everyone on this board was ecstatic because both football and basketball were ranked 6 and 4? I really hope the football team doesn't shit the bed, because if they do, there's nothing to look forward to until next September.

Juwan is counting too much on “leadership” when he should be playing the higher ceiling players. I don’t give a shit that Jones transferred here from Coastal Carolina, he’s borderline unplayable. I don’t give a shit that Nunez is a senior, he sucked as a freshman and he still sucks today. Put the younger ones out there, at least they are hungry.

They do, it’s Brooks and the freshmen who exhibit energy and passion. I’m sorry but Johns, Jones, Nunez aren’t providing shit this year. Houstan is a brick layer, has poor lateral movement and has zero energy about him. Once again, why the fuck Bufkin isnt playing is beyond me.


Why we draw up a last second play for ol T Will from three is also beyond me.

This team lacks discipline and fundamentals and it isn’t just the young ones. They don’t box out, poor shooting fundamentals, get lost on defense and make poor decisions with the ball.

We start one freshman and we look better when multiple are playing.

If this is going to be a developmental process, we should focus on getting more playing time for our freshman… minimize minutes for Jones, Johns, and Nunez

Hail to the Vi…

Yeesh.. this team is sloppy right now. Someone on the perimeter other than Eli Brooks has to get something going. I don't understand the Nunuez substitution in front of Bufkin unless he is unavailable or being disciplined. 

The team should not look this disinterested and disjointed after getting their doors blown off by an unranked team this past weekend.

Defensive rebounding is still an issue. There's no reason Michigan shouldn't be dominating the boards against a team that doesn't even have a big out there.

Trying to stay optimistic for a turn around this season, while watching this, is nearly impossible. They look like a bad team. sheeesh I hope things get better I like being excited for the tournament.

Just turned on the radio broadcast, but the live stats page says the game hasn't started yet.  Hmm.  Audio seems to think the first half is almost over.

So thanks for letting me catch up.
