Danger time...

 

[SuperMetroid]

Can't wait for this season to be over.

 

[sdfidaho]

12-2 run since we tied it up

 

[sdfidaho]

Taylor is unconscious

 

[Cubby Blue]

Well, we have all wanted the freshmen playing more, but you see just how weak JCL and DJ are on the defensive end. I don't mind using the rest of the season as a learning experience for them though.

 

[illini8507]

Can anyone explain the complete fall off of Nunn since the baby. His defense is almost worse than Tate's?

He's been terrible on both sides of the ball for weeks. Sleep deprivation is the only thing I can think of, cause he came out like gang busters once he was activated in that UAB game

 

[CasualObserver05]

This is such a "make-shift" roster. I know this is repetition of the obvious, but the lack of a PG just gets magnified with a lack of offensive flow or identity.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

How can we be down 10 to PSU?

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Down by 1 at half, on life support at the 12 minute mark of the 2nd. In other words, same old same old.

 

[Ransom Stoddard]

At least we've already scored 40. Glad those low-scoring disasters are behind us.

 

[freebird6]

ball is going in for them. Just hitting shots. Off balance, hands in face, contested and rolling around the rim/dropping in ...hard to challenge that. They are having a day this 4 minute war.

You can play with a makeshift pg situation, or a makeshift rebounding situation, or even poor depth, but when u add all 3 together...

It's just hard to win when your starting 1, 4, and 5 are in street clothes and half the remaining roster has taken turns missing games (or practice time in jcl's case) with minor injuries

 

[freebird6]

oh that is bull crap. That has been a clear path foul all year long across the NCAA. Offensive? Please

 

[Stevegarbs]

No, Kendrick, no.

 

[freebird6]

and there is the switch. Cmon JT

 

[sdfidaho]

Hill possessed on that play

 

[freebird6]

Hill still working. Good job.

 

[Stevegarbs]

Hill came to play. Wish it was contagious.

 

[Cubby Blue]

Everybody on the team owes Hill an apology after the game.

 

[freebird6]

good foul. No easy buckets

 

[BDoug]

Hahaha

 

[Cubby Blue]

Cmon DJ, bounce pass at the shins of big men don't work.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

and there is the switch. Cmon JT

Yep, lazy. Just accepted the switch onto Taylor and then immediately fouled him.

MM after last game....."Welcome to my World"

 

[Sizzler22]

What has happened to Nunn?? Really really off day, he's forcing everything.
