[b] face it, we were just flat. What I do not understand is why eddie and mitch abandoned dribble penetration during the entire second half, particularly against the box and one. [/b]
Eddie and Mitch should have penetrated more.
We did not forget about Curtis, actually we forced passes to him and turned it over late in the game.
I thought Plav passed on some good looks and should have shot it.
I think Lutz had EJ in the game to try and find someone (sans Withers) to put the ball in the Hole.
Not sure why Nance or Iti didnāt see the floor much in the second half??
We had Drayton in there for a lot because coach saw that Martin sucked(again) and Nance either was still sick,or wasnāt much better.The thing about Iti that drives me craziest is not that he sucksā¦its that when heās in everybody has to do so much more.Did anyone watch their center(who we made look like an offensive whiz) today? On defense he BLOCKS OUTā¦Half the rebounds we got on defense were lucky their guys got inside Martin(and Nance) and the balls just deflected to our guys. I happen to think playing E.J. more was 1 correct thing Lutz did,noone other than Curtis was even close,and I gotta believe Mitchell is hurting because hes shown 0 offense the last 2 games.As iāve posted a few times beforeā¦what we are is an above average team not anywhere near great,with an ok coach.I think weāre gonna need a couple of GOOD wins to make the tourneyā¦thatāll have to start with cinciā¦since I donāt think weāre gonna beat Louisville at their place,if we donāt beat cinci we could be looking at trying to make the tourney with 0 wins over a real quality opponentā¦and no,I donāt consider Marquette a quality opponent. Gotta say again thoā¦props to Curtisā¦he really tried to put the team on his back and carry us.

[b] i think we could't get it to withers because plav was covered and it looked like we decided to try and free plav for a 3 vs. continuing to go inside to withers. just my 2 cents. [/b]
I think you are correct. I was very disappointed to see Plav try those 3's with the lead late in the game. Why can't we work it in for the easy 2 in those situations, & force the opposition to make 3's to catch up.
iāll be really sulrprised if Iti is here next yeare. he must see tht heās sucking outloud and no t progerssing at atll as a player. he problbly wonāt declare for the draft, cause he must know he sucks. but heāll probably transfer to that JUCO to work with that center specialist in hopes that heāll progress as a player, cause he sure istnā progressging here
this kind of topic pisses me off. Because Eddie is GOD to most of you. minus the fact he had 4 tournovers, just two points off of 1-5 shooting, oh and at least Iti made a free throw today.
