Interesting post game comments from the coach. Team is totally out of synch.
I will read the article like I did for the Miami game, could not find any video post game interviews for that game, also the game vs Miami should be live now, iβm going to download it now from youtube
From the box score, they only scored 8 points in the 3rd to the 19 from SE LA, did good in the 4th with 23 to 14 from SE LA, but not enough to make up for the 3rd qtr.
Coach remarked after the game that certain players quit on her today. Not a happy camper. Said team lacks heart.

Yeah itβs defiantly not what she is used to, because most are new to her and her coaching. It really goes back to her saying she was trying to find the balance with this group with how tough she was with them. You surly donβt want to break player confidence, because they are new, so you want that balance between toughness and nurture for them.
Things change once the season starts, tough summer and practices are one thing, but once the season starts things change. Itβs not easy, especially when you want to compete for the conference title now, and things are taking longer than expected at this point.
So I told everyone last week when I looked up the other two teams that it would be good competition for them either way. If the team was performing up to standards all 4 qtrs and you still lose, what can you do about that? But when you have these breakdowns, and make things harder for you, that is another thing.
Donβt know how they will respond for Thursdayβs game against Mercer, the last team with a new coach this year they will face. Iβm really interested in how they fight through this rough patch and get to play good basketball all 4 qtrs. They have until the end of the month, because once conference play starts, itβs showtime and everything counts.
Not only for conference tournament seeding, but for how well this team will handle the tournament format. As of now, itβs not looking good at all for that the way they are playing, too inconsistent.
Well everyone will be watching and seeing how they continue to progress along the way, still a lot for them to do, including showing toughness all game. I look forward to others thoughts right now, negative or positive, thatβs what this forum is for, discussion!

Playbook; Pass the ball around perimeter until shot clock runs out and throw up desperation shot.

Theyβre kids so time away from the classroom is fun!
Niner menβs hoops probably should have done βEducation Dayβ with the Livingstone game.

Lots of stupid plays by the Niners in the 4th. Shots early in the shot clock and fouls to put the opposition on the line with the clock stopped. Just fundamentals

Five points in the final frame and 2 of those came with 36 seconds to go after Mercer had gone on a 10-0 run to lead 42-41. Lucky to get out of Macon with a W.

This team lacks a go to player. Are there any players injured right now that could help?
