Iām OK with this loss. I saw a lot of good things and the team is definitely improving. We have an opportunity to be good despite what Ron created. Fearne has demonstrated he is the real deal. Iām pulling hard for him this year. If he can recruit, he may be the answer.
Yeah, but we have to throw the ball to him first.
In addition to the loss, it saddened me to see a number of people sitting during our natl anthem. Our country is made up of people from all corners of the world yet we all, or most of us, stand under the banner of freedom. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from govt, etc. To me, that banner is the American Flag. I know our country is not perfect, no country is, but the USA is far above the rest. I wish everyone could see the positives of living in then USA.
I am also growing tired of the entertainer. Cut the contest stuff by 3/4 and unleash the Pep Band, cheerleaders and Gold Dusters!
Obviously, I would have preferred to win last night. However, it was good to see a game in this series between teams both playing well. I donāt have time to follow how Davidson plays every game, but their results are wildly inconsistent. Looks like we just caught them on a wrong night. As always, fuck those guys.
We tried to put in the same guy we just took out. There was no live action and was still a dead ball. We cannot do that. They subbed in a complete different player. To go along with that play it was a jump ball tie up, but since they never inbounded the ball, the possession arrow never changed back to us. Weird play.
I dont agree at all. I thought we looked good early but our defense was not good yesterday and we did not adjust. Davidson did
The second half numbers were 48- 52. Not a lot of defense in the second half by either team.
Davidson did what that team does wellā¦hit 3s, hit FTs, ran back door cutsā¦we made mistakes defensively even though we knew what they run and what they run they have for years. It sucks losingā¦sucks giving them the ugliest trophy in any sport anywhereā¦
On to the next oneā¦
Regardless of the loss, this team is much easier to watch than last yearās team.
Fearne doing the best he can with the cards he was dealt. Heās not the long term answer. Mike Hill, please do not extend him. I hope Ron Sanchez never talks about high character again, leaving our program and these kids in the lurch.
I do like the way this team plays. They have a lot of good complimentary pieces. We are probably around the 150th best team in America. Kids play hard, and they play together. Davidson shot it really well, and played good team defense. I wish losses bothered me anymore.
It feels like Davidson always shoots the 3 well against us and last night it was even worse then usual. We got screwed on a couple of calls too but obviously Davidsonās 3 point shooting hurt the most. The back door cuts always seemed to come a critical moment too. Neither team guarded very well. I did like that we kept fighting back at the end.
Someone please explain why Folkes doesnāt play more to me, and make it make sense. Probably the best overall athlete on the team and then he produces like that in very limited minutes.
I wanna like Fearne, but I donāt get this at all.
Also, how often does a team shoot 54% from the field and lose a basketball game?
clt says no more 3ās from patterson and graves,
Iāve heard he had a concussion in the preseason and theyāve been easing him back and checking condition during games.
No idea how valid that is.
I think you missed the 5 games prior to this one, where he was a combined 4 for 20 from the field, with 4 assists to 7 TOs. He probably is the best athlete on the team. But ultimately heās an undersized 3, that has to play the 1 or 2 because of his size.
Folkes is the like the backup QB on any team. Everyone calls for them to get put in. I love Isaah and he is continuing to improve. He is not a good defender off ball and on ball he reaches too much thus silly fouls. I have to believe that the coaches would have in more if they felt he was an upgrade and/or healthy (if concussion thing is real).
Huh? How could there be a held ball is the ball is still out of bounds?
Edit: I guess you mean they didnāt inbound AFTER the held ball because we fouled before they could? If so, that is one weird rule that there is no possession until the inbound is made. Their guy literally possessed the ball in that he had the thing in his hands.
