should have won, actually should have KILLED them
shot about 5 percent from 3 but what was les's deal with crouch not playing the whole 2nd half
bad shooting yes
not much better coaching (at least subsituting)

No he's implying it was JJ, like he always does, and like usual, he's wrong.

On the Bright-side......AW played good and should have gotten more minutes.......JC,MS, JJ and DR had very bad games.....too-bad.....this game could have been won with a couple 3's and some F/T makes? :? Why DA and DR miss F/T's is beyond me? :? Seems like the game plan was very good and the open looks were not even close! :wink: Better get home and re-group for the big home game with DU! :idea:

What happened to Crouch?
Oh well. Would've been different if we hit a few more open shots. Simple as that.
NCAA tournament hopes are now in danger zone.

i dont get what everyone sees in him but at least when he is having an "off game" why not play someone whos on fire (andrew warren) that could have been a game changer
Reason JC sat is because he couldn't keep up on defense. I'm not a fan of Tauai but he played a solid defensive game.
If we could play a full game with the same intensity we played the last 8 minutes of this game, we could easily win the MVC tourney. Our only hope for a bid now is winning out, including the MVC tourney.

Thank you! It seems like everytime we lose a tough game, some new posters come on and ask for Les to be fired! It reminds me of all the dopey callers on Monday asking for Lovie Smith to be fired!
The last thing I want this board to turn into is our version of the fire Hinson board!

Because all you do is rip on JJ, we get it, you don't like him. Believe it or not, he helps us win. Get over yourself, I don't spend all my time on this board ripping on JJ or any other individual, if I think someone hindered us in a loss, I'll say it, you do it just 'cause you have some personal problems. For real though, we all get it, you don't have to bother 'nemore, you're beating a dead horse so to speak. I mean, let it go man.

Re: SIU 60 - Bradley 50
Yea Coach, I don't care what other people are saying poor shooting was it. How many times did Les' offensive scheme get us a good look only to have someone throw up a brick. Ouch. We played a good overall game but just did not make shots that we normally make... bottom line, period.

Back on topic a bit--I thought we had a great game plan on both ends of the floor. Our execution, especially our 3-point shooting, just killed us. The intensity tonight was far, far better than last week's beatdown by Creighton. Even though we missed so many good looking shots from downtown, I thought the Braves played with so much more spirit and enthusiasm--even moreso than last year's 12-point loss at Carbondale. What's up with Tony Young? If it weren't for Bradley, the guy would struggle to make 3rd team All-Valley :lol:! I'll agree, Ruff has struggled lately in some games. For as poorly as he played tonight on offense, I shudder to think how many points we would have given up on the defensive end without him in the lineup (JJ too for that matter). I didn't see the stats, but didn't we shoot more free throws than SIU? That ought to tell you how well and focused we were for the task at hand. The score seemed to stay 11-7 for the longest time in the first half. Will missed 2 and JJ one three-point attempts from the corner. All the shots were uncontested. If one or two of the shots go down, who knows what kind of groove the Braves would have been in the rest of the way? Unfortunately, those misses turned out to be a harbinger for the rest of the game. Frustrating loss, no doubt--but I feel better about the way they played tonight than they did last week against the Bluejays. Now we need to duplicate the intensity down the stretch and into St. Louis. Anything short of winning the Valley Tourney will put us in the NIT.
