Wrong. The bubble is so bad Hall is pretty comfy, which is pathetic, because this team is very average.

[IronKaz1]

didnt someone say the committee notices Aiken is out?

 

[schultz1825]

Crazy part is we had the lead down to 3. Harris or Ike make a lay up it's a 1 point game. I think we've scored two points since.

 

[blueice2011]

There are times when Willard forgets to coach. Kevin just gets outmatched from 10 minutes to the end of the game. He doesn't have the drive he showed in past years. Too much post game excuses, but really he says he is the cause.

 

[doctorcb12]

We had a good lineup of Cale Harris Richmond Obiagu and Yetna. As soon as he puts in Rhoden we play like garbage

 

[NYC Pirate]

Can't get back doored to death this much. Let's try to cut it to 4 with 4. Game is not over, but need some
progress in next few minutes.

Still firmly in. Lose home to DePaul or Butler and then things start to get very worrisome.

 

[mzadnik]

We have 0 assists this half.

Yea but they also heard he might be out rest of season so that’s no longer going to help

 

[burtmanjack]

This team goes nowhere if Aiken isn’t back soon.

And my expectation is that he won’t be back at all.

 

[HALL28]

Richmond is very, very good.

 

[NYC Pirate]

He grabbed Richmond's jersey.

 

[SHUSA]

shus anus raw with all this scoring down low on them. cant stop a thing

 

[silkcitypirate]

Not only are we being out played on both ends of the floor Hurley is running rings around Willard.

 

[silkcitypirate]

We still have a punchers chance.

 

[SHUSA]

this team is so dumb

 

[HALL28]

Just when you think you’ve seen the worst possible shot choice, Tyrese jacks a three leading to an easy runout dunk. Horrific.

 

[SHUSA]

god. shu so soft.

 

[TomWall]

Did he call bank? I doubt it.

 

[TomWall]

Cole had his shot blocked and then went back down on the floor with the ball. Isn't that a jump ball????

 

[metalpirate07]

Is that Coach Bozella I see sitting right behind the bench? Can he sub in for Willard the rest of the game?

 

[hbkmyr]

As said before this team just doesn’t do the little things needed to win games.

 

[Uncle Hectors Crab Farm]

Did he call bank? I doubt it.

I did

 

[schultz1825]

Fouls are 15-6. Free throws 15-3. Not the reason we're losing but give me a break.

 

[doctorcb12]

Cole had his shot blocked and then went back down on the floor with the ball. Isn't that a jump ball????

Absolutely should have been a jump ball. These refs are terrible

 

[JTSHU]

Doesnt willard know by now his offense is garbage

 

[HallBall02]

I know Willard won’t do it (and he should have had the team do it after the Nova game) but do 3 hours of box out drills till they pass out. It’s such a basic basketball skill to have.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Need a stop and then try to cut it to 3. Need some positive energy guys. it can't all be glass empty rooting.

 

[JTSHU]

Agreed. We dont make defenses work

 

[HALL28]

We have 0 assists this half.

Is that the thing where you pass the ball for a shot near the basket?

 

[SHUSA]

the game was over since wright/hurley stepped on the court with willard

 

[TomWall]

Looked like a foul on Samuel to me

 

[Nbnylon]

Right, almost forgot he was in the arena

 

[Robot_Man]

They remembered how to box out with 2:45 left on the clock.

 

[SHUSA]

zip the hall up. 10+ loss as i predicted. super easy. crazy how many on this board thought otherwise. players are comparable. but their coach doesnt slink down in terror like ours. the french wouldnt even take willard into battle

 

[TomWall]

Our offense is so pathetic. Really hard to watch. Whoever told me early on to turn it off was right.

I know Willard won’t do it (and he should have had the team do it after the Nova game) but do 3 hours of box out drills till they pass out. It’s such a basic basketball skill to have.

Another thing I've been saying for YEARS. But will never happen.

 

[catholicman]

We did not box out. We did not play good defense. If we had been able to contain Sanogo, we could have won.
