Seriously? I watched the entire game. Yes, a couple freshmen are working hard, but please, watch some other basketball games. When you see how hard other teams work and how fast they move, we don't compare. Watching us play is like watching a real college bball game in slow motion. It doesn't even compare. There is lots of standing around, lots of heels planted on the floor, and just no speed.
We should come out against a team like HPU with full aggression, intensity and tenacity and blow them out of the gym. It simply isn't there. Travis finally got it in the second hallf. Why did it take him 30 minutes to play with a little fire and aggression? My God, you are supposed to play like that the entire game, not take 30 minutes to "get into the flow" of the game. CJ has been almost completely MIA and acts like he could care less. At this point, we've got about 10 guys who are as good as any other on the team, so certainly no one should be pacing themselves..... And we've got some athletes. We ought to be pushing the pace instead of playing in slow motion. We are way too easy to guard, and our passive, heels on the floor, man to man defense is going to get shredded by any decent teams. Not to mention how we considtently simply turn and watch the ball when the other team shoots. Outrebounded by 10 against HPU?!?!? There were times they got 3 shots on a few possessions. Sorry, but rebounding is half fundamentals and half effort. We aren't getting much of either except in small spurts from a limited number of guys.
