It's OK to boo poor effort. But the effort was there tonight. Poor execution at the end...............AGAIN!

This team lacks a killer instinct. That's all there is to it. We close out close road games and can't close out close home games. What's the problem? I don't even know. But it has to be addressed.
It's not a matter of effort, that much can be said. It's scheme.

I've seen enough. Signing off of Bradleyfans for the last time. Wish you all well, but I need to find something more meaninful and promising to spend my time on. I have been a Bradley fan through SO MUCH . . . it's turning into folly, and I just can't take it anymore. I was there all through Albeck, all through Molinari, and all through Les. Three failures in a row who will have eaten up the better part of three decades.
To all the inevitable "don't let the door hit your *** on the way out" posts, save your keystrokes. You don't know me, and I won't be checking back.
Sincerely, I wish Bradley well, and I hope a new generation of fans finds the energy and will to rebuild this program. I sense, however, that Bradley is on a long road to obscurity. I feel a little like Urban Meyer (without the paycheck) right now. I NEVER thought I'd say this. But being a Bradley fan has become a destructive part of my life. I care too much, and I just don't have the energy anymore.
GO BU.

CB said " kids should never be booed. News flash CB the boos were not aimed at the kids. I've always heard we had knowledgible fans and I think we surely do. I have never booed a Coach, official or player but our fans were booing the TICKING TIME BOMB. That last 4 minutes were very poor. The first 36 the best we have played.
Well, this is what the bottom looks like!
I, too, have been here for a lot of failure the past 3 decades. I saw the extreme highs of Versace, the up and severe down of Albeck's trainwreck. Then we went sloooooooooowly through the Molinari tenure.
Through it all you almost felt like it would be okay, like we were close, like one little thing could make the team a winner. But, I don't feel that anymore.
This program is in complete and utter shambles. There is no upside, there is nothing to look forward to. This team has quit and quit and quit. How many times can you allow Les to coach the team into the freaking ground? How many times can you have Les allow 10, 15, 20 point leads go to 3, or 4, or 5 points without a TO???????
I'm sick of this and something needs to be done, quickly.

Never heard a boo directed at a high schooler or collegent they can only do what their coach recruited them for and told them to do on the court.
The poor coaching was the reason for the booing, we had 4 guys that would have been a better matchup to bring the ball up the court then Sam was against Dillard and the double team, Warren,Brown or Roberts were all quicker and bigger the the guys that were guarding them, Dillard is just a better player then Sam and our coach should have known this and adjusted by getting the ball to one of the other 3 period.
With better coaching our team should be 9-3 , not 6-6 and still making excuses about losing games you were ahead by 10 or more points at home.

I know you'll check for replies, so I'll give one. That's why I always defend the "bluehairs" who have been with the the program through many ups and downs for a lot longer than you have. We get disgusted, but they are still our team and I hope the players know this and don't give up on the rest of the season. I'm sure they won't, and the "bluehairs" won't either.
Amen...it is becoming painful to watch the ineptness on our home floor over and over again.

I like Les but I must admit that he did get outcoached at the end of the game (and it also did not help that BU's players failed to execute).
JL's coaching did not lose this game. Turnovers late and clutch shooting by SIU is what lost it. I don't see how that's the coach's fault.

I thought the full court defensive switch that Lowery sprung on the Braves at the end was critical, as was Lowery's set offensive plays to get the open shot at the end of the game. I know BU's players did not execute well at all but I particularly thought that Lowery's play calling helped to win this game for SIU. JMO
Also, lefty made a great post in another thread..........

Couple of things I wonder DC....how we handled the press twice wasn't very impressive and one of those was right after a timeout and we knew they were going to press. Someone left SM out to dry in the backcourt all the rest of the team was down floor. Making sure you don't leave Freeman at the end of the game. Anybody else should have helped other than SM on the play.
