[QUOTE="illini62707, post: 1505284, member: 655203"] You don't have to worry about "christmas miracles" if you score more than 19 points the second half. My goodness call a time-out and get Kofi in the game at the end. For all the BU apologist that is bad coaching. And he doesn't have him in the game the last 5 minutes or so, because he didn't want to upset the flow defensively. MD, says a hearty thank you! I am not a schizo fan, because i don't like what i'm seeing thus far from BU or the team. For the record i wasn't on the fire Lovie wagon this year either, as disappointed as i was. My thoughts were 1 more no matter what. Games against Hampton, Lindewood meant nothing to me, those games indicate nothing. My impression early on was this team believed the hype which was meaningless. They struggle to an OT win against Nicholls and use that learning tool (hear that nonsense so much) and come out completely unprepared mentally to win a game against, Miami. And yes, i put a lot of the mental preparation on BU for not getting this team to realize that you haven't won a dang thing in 2 years, so we're going to be ready each and every game from the tip.d And yes i question his coaching. We lose a game against MD 2 years ago in Champaign, because we can't the ball in bounds (horrible set up). So, what did we learn from that teaching moment. We have a 1 point lead or tie situation at United Center with about 30 or so seconds on the clock. Illini ball out of bounds on baseline toward corner. One time -out left. What do we do, throw the ball over the head of all our players which other gets for an easy lay-up! Loss! That is a coaching situation. You have hours and hours of practice to go over those type plays. So yeah i question certain aspects of his coaching. If that me me a bad fan i'm ok with it. I agree 100% with the poster who said shooting is an issue. Ayo, Feliz, DW, KN just aren't shooting the 3 with any confidence. I was actually glad to see DW put up 3 shots from the arc, yesterday even though he came up empty. Feliz, won't even put one up for the most part.
