Another 26 turnovers

can’t believe it was only 26 TO’s. That is what cost us today, nothing else. We dominated the glass and shot the ball well from 2pt land.
Nice game by Braswell, that’s about it for us.
18 pts and 11 rebounds. Very nice.
Then again with everyone else not doing much at all, there’s plenty of opportunity for him.

Now that is what I expect from Braz
Barnett has absolutely disappeared since that Observer story on him.
What worries me is that the only cure to the TOs for next year that we’re being presented so far is Luka…
We’ve go to find a way to stop turning the ball over.
Does Kedric Smith have any eligibility left?

There is another thing though - Anjuan usually accounts for a few and he will be gone and with added depth a stupid turnover can get you a seat on the bench. Right now we don’t have the option of benching anyone for any reason.

I don’t want to even want to imagine how bad we’ll be beat by Temple and Xavier.

Lawl.
Phil Jones was important to this team.
we had no margin for error even with Phil. Without him, we have no shot blocker and we are undersized. We will get killed by dribble penetration for the rest of the year without our big guy there to alter shots. We will be lucky to win 1/4 of our games from here in.
I knew even before the opening tip that we had no chance, especially after the thumping Duquesne gave Temple. The Dukes are 5-0 and have won every game by at least 12. These guys have a legit shot at taking the A-10 title. I’m actually impressed that we kept the margin of victory under 20.
C-USA conference please!
I actually think we have a shot at the Xavier whiteout just because our players thrive off of niner nation support

If you think motivation is a problem, that is on the coach.
Also, CUSA isnt what it was anymore. Move on. A10 is a better conference.

Exactly. CUSA 5 years ago is only slightly better than the A10 today.

Bwahahahahahahaha…the A10 is better, really? I am so tired of hearing this, what is it better for? Bad refs? yep. Baseball and soccer getting the shaft? yep. NO FOOTBALL? yep. The Men’s team NOT MAKING THE NCAA? yep…so the only good thing about the A10 is our Women’s bball team. This dream of being in a 3 bid league is crazy, what has that done for us? NOTHING…and FYI CUSA is on the way back up and is ranked 9th, compared to the 8th ranked A10…wow, I can’t believe after what 5 years? of this krap people still defend the A10…IT SUCKS. PERIOD
P.S.
The A10 is 21-25 in NCAA toruney games the last 10 years

I think technically you mean 6 years now, but either way I believe this is madness. Old CUSA was significantly better than the A10 that we have been in.
Eason was talking about current CUSA which is now only near as good as current A10 (better according to Kenpom, one rank below A10 accoding to RPI) and hasn’t been as good over our tenure in A10.

When we moved here we were (and still are) a basketball school. Basketball is our bread and butter. It dictates our conference affiliation. When we left CUSA and for much of the time we have been out of CUSA, the A10 has been better. If getting more NCAA tourney bids doesn’t make a conference better, I don’t know what does. A10 8, CUSA 2 in at-large bids.
Our sucking is our own fault.
I think we need to resurrect our basketball program before we get concerned with conference affiliation…
Nice job Braz and good job Deuce, but work on that ball handling/passing some more.

My point is, it has made us worse. The conference doesn’t want us. One of the Refs today actually said " You better follow Xavier" reading the intention there to me it sounded like " Xavier is going to win and we are going to make sure they do"…the fans, the teams, the refs don’t want us here and they do everything to make sure we do not get an at large bid. A10 may be better in number of tourney teams but it sucks in every other category. And once football starts we will not be a basketball school anymore…if we are we are setting football up for complete failure
