With MT I think they had a shot of being decent to good. With LB alone, I very much doubt it. Groce NEEDS a very good PG and a center that plays around the basket + a PF that has no fear. Relying on Nunn and Hill will not cut it - nothing against any of the players, but there just is not enough fire power on Groce's team.

There is fire power I think...but little confidence
I agree. At this point, with the season gone, and completely ineffective point guard play, not much to lose. It really can't be worse at this point, that line has been crossed a few games ago.
That's my thinking. Until proven otherwise, I am expecting a team that is less than the sum of its parts.
We can't shoot too good, can't rebound at all, might as well make it a triple and turn the ball over like crazy too.
Here comes the part where we wonder why we didn't start pressing sooner.

I'm surprised there was no traveling call on Happ.
And what could've been had Malcom actually stepped up on Nigel before half-time. :tsk:
Lol another missed layup by lewis
Because we are bad at it and have no depth.

You're crazy. We get people healthy, the freshman will all get better. They just need to make shots which they can't do right now
That could be, but I haven't seen Lewis dribble for 15 seconds with 18 seconds to play and finish it off by falling down and handing the ball to the opponent.
When the options are Tate, Lewis or playing Hill as a point forward I have no idea why they don't at least try Hill at the point forward. Tate and Lewis should each play mop up minutes or give a guy a rest for 2 minutes here and there.
Our team stinks.
depends on who can make the trip
Well, they're better than Chicago St and UIC.
