Oof we are awful

Not awful.

Just undersized, inexperienced, with no real leader other than the head coach.

A leader will emerge this year, they will gain experience, but you can't teach height. They don't have enough size, so the offense is limited.

This is not going to be a good season from a win/loss standpoint. They're should be growth however, which will be good to see.

Smith just got bodied as he attacked the rim, how is that not a foul.

That was not a travel

Beyond questioning Alstork's minutes at this point in the season.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Wow making this CRAP team look like the freaking Warriors :smash:

 

[aluma]

We look like hot trash right now.

 

[EthanM]

Can someone tell me why Alstork is playing?

He traveled.

Realistically we just aren’t very good.

True. But neither is WF, so we need to win this game.

Tejon has been terrible tonight

I'm getting worried about Tejon. It's so hard to generate good looks when your PG can't shoot.

 

[Future Walk-On]

Haha there's 15 minutes left. Relax.

We are on pace to lose by 60.

Thats bull. You're all making excuses why we're not playing bad but you legitimatly are not going to look at the officiating? They MADE UP A RULE and reversed a foul. Not to mention WF are church boys that don't foul right? This is garbage.

 

[TeamWilliams]

Finally someone attacking the basket. Smith no call at least we got the ball back

 

[TCTORNADO]

No energy

Drunk History on Comedy Central, much better entertainment value.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

If Smith keeps driving it in like that, I don't see how he doesn't start getting foul calls.

I can see how he doesnt get foul calls.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Lol

 

[TALKTOCHUCK]

1. I don't think Wake is better than us. So stay tuned.
2. I never thought I would miss Nnanna but I do

 

[StateFarmCenter]

Finke just needs to play his normal minutes until he could out.

 

[katytxillini]

The officiating hasn't gone in our favor but a lot of that is our fault- though with all the ticky tack stuff they've called Smith should have gone to the line. We are afraid of the big man and he has yet to prove that we should be.

 

[FC Illiniman]

Slow down all....... BREATHE... Plenty of time left.

You’ve lost your mind. UI has been horrible the last 20 minutes. That is the reason for the score.

What the hell is that travel call on Kip???

Cuz he's wearing blue
