Outcoached.

I absolutely cannot wait until we overhaul the entire coaching staff so we can turn this thing around and knock off a couple of the top teams in the country on our way back to the Sweet 16. Those were good days!

It will happen sooner with a new regime than it will with this one. I'd settle for just knocking off some mediocre mid-major teams at home for starters.

Sam Singh led both teams with 7 rebounds filling in for WE in the first half. He also played good defense on Lawson and his help defense was good.

Les was fine in this game. The zone defense is silly, but they also don't usually make that many 3s. Some of it is bad luck.

Just jump already.

SS played good! He was not getting the help on Lawson that Will was getting in the second half. Lawson had only 2 points on Sam and only 1 rebound. Sam was boning up on him real good! Lawson pretty much had his way with Will and that was with help,to!
It's to bad that we couldn't play Will at the 4 and Sam at the 5! But because AT has not put forth a effort in 3 years, we can't count on him for any min's. to help out at the 5:!:
BU will NEVER get to the top playing players out of position and playing Small:!:

Let's not settle for anything less than an NCAA appearance! That's what it's all about, right? I'm sure it'll happen as soon as we get rid of our coaching staff.

Ya it will definitely happen sooner with a different regime considering it didn't for 50 some years with all the other regime's anyway. Even with Hawkins in the 80's we didn't make the Sweet Sixteen.

I'd settle for a conference title first. If it's not all about the NCAA's, what's it all about? The CBI? The CIT? It can't be about the NIT because we fired the last guy because he went to too many of those.
 
..... and Les WAS NOT outcoached tonight! Maybe if he had dressed and come into the game to hit a few open 3's we would have won. We lost because we could not hit enough shots and CU had a hot hand. We won the hustle stats...... but I guess Les gets no credit there either.

You must be young BB. That's just crazy talk. :( Do you remember the 70's?

Yes, I do. I said 'one of the worst', not 'the worst'. Can you name a worse decade than this one as far as league record goes? Can you name a worse decade than the 2000's and 70's? Are you proud to say this is the worst decade in 30 years?

I completely agree that it is all about the NCAA tournament!

I know there has been A LOT of excitement this decade BB....... More than most.

Nope. Two fluke weeks weren't better than 4 conference titles in the 80's, or the decade of the 90's where we won a league title, made an NCAA, and were annually contending. Spin it any way you want, the records speak for themselves.

I thought it was the ISU Sweep of the Braves in Mo's last year that put the final nail in Mo's coffin.

We get swept this year - I would suspect the Coach's arse to be quite roasty-toasty next season.
 
You can have your opinion about the program, but those 2 weeks were not a fluke and I don't like when people say that. Those players and coaches worked hard for that and I wouldn't call it a fluke. That was a talented team that played very well down the stretch. Maybe this has been a fluke year inbetween a future stretch of 10 straight 20+ win seasons.

So we get a 'next season', and it's a good one. Then Sam, Dodie, AW, all graduate. We're right back to mediocrity again, with excuses. Not sure what we're afraid of here. Other coaches have been fired for having more success than our current coach. All indications point to a losing league record after 8 seasons, with zero top 3 finishes. Most coaches wouldn't get 8 season with that rate of success.
 
We had 4 posessions down by 3, with a chance to tie it up. AW got an open look, SM got an open look. What the h$ll else do you want? Our team shot terrible but won every important stat except score. I'm not sure JL is the right guy, but saying we got outcoached here makes it pretty clear, one, you either haven't played, coached, or been actively involved with organized sports, or you have an agenda. Seriously, our two best shooters with shots to tie the game. What would you rather have had? How could any set play have helped? OUR TWO BEST SHOOTERS GOT SHOTS TO TIE THE GAME! Criminitly, I think if CU shot 100% from the field and our bench fell apart and injured every member of the starting lineup it would still, somehow, be JL's fault.
 
Yep..its all about the coach. Its Les' fault the braves shot 68% percent from the line. Its his fault the braves shot 25% from 3 point land with lots of open looks. Its his fault CU got great rolls the entire first half and probably had the best shooting half of their season. Its Jim's fault the ref's made some of the worst calls I have seen in college bball. Ya know what?? Why stop there? I would like to blame some of the fans for not standing and cheering at key times of the game. Im not sure..but I think I saw 2 cheerleaders not giving their best tonite..shame on them. Outside of sec 10...at least one hot dog vendor had ZERO pep in his step. Not only do we need a new coach..new asst coaches...but lets get it right. we need new fans..vendors..cheerleaders and I think my seat might have been a tad scratchy tonite. REPLACE THEM ALL-
What a joke.

Always positive! Even your attitude about a potential good season is negative!! It is almost laughable. Plus with TB, potentially JW and SH, DSE, EM, AT, WE, JE, MK and JP all back I think we have a bunch of talent the following year as well.

Coaches recruit players who can win (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL), get players who can shoot (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL), improve player's skills (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL), motivate teams for big games vs big opponents (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL), game plan and adjust plans during games vs opponents (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL), install their own offensive and defensive systems (BU 4-14 vs CU under JL)....

YEAH, I guess I would have to say DA outcoaches JL pretty regularly.
It isn't just about players' shooting on one night.
