Clarke a solid 1-13 from the field. Clueless Louis didnt recruit a backup PG.

I'm now convinced that even I could play for this team. I can shoot air balls from the arc.

Globe I've been saying that about our opponents playing zone against us for about 5 years. We're always clueless against it, which I find baffling considering Louis knows and coaches the zone. How does HW not know how to teach his team to attack it!?

How is Clarke the only pg we have? How do you graduate Crawford and not recruit a pg?

Louie's aware that there isn't a draft lottery in college ball, right? He's coaching this team like a man bent on getting as many balls in the hopper as possible
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

If college had a draft, Orr would just trade away our #1 pick. He likes to keep a short bench. Did we ever hear a reason for him not filling our scholarships??? With the injuries to Orr (done), Denny (probably done) and Sealey (who the heck knows if he's done) the lack of players is now a glaring problem.

If I was Orr this would be my lineup next game.

Lyshe
Henderson
Parker
Holmes
Black

Clarke would come off the bench for Henderson within the first 5 minutes but I would bring in Tisdale at the same time and play him at PG.

This is another one of Orr's issues. He won't sacrifice this game for the future. There doesn't seem to be any lesson learning happening.

Loved the play of Denny and Joplin.....

WTF are you waiting for coach? Hey Louie? You do know that you have only 18 more games to stand on the sidelines and shrug your shoulders.

Cam Black. Faked a defensive block and went to the basket and the OFFENSIVE player followed him in and made a basket every time. It happened at least 3 times in the 2nd half.

Our stellar defense let the opponent get to the paint an awful lot. Why not stop them before they get there or make them drive over you?

It's really hard to pick the ball off your shoelaces in the paint. Our guards tried that play countless times.

When does Orr get asked why he sat on a scholarship? At his final post game presser? 7 years it will take us to finally move on from this guy. Any objective fan could watch in year 3 (some both year 1 or 2) and realize this wasn't going to end well. SAD.

Haha...I don't know when anybody would ever ask him that question, he doesn't DO any post game interviews. Well, there probably is a press conference, I guess, but it's usually Lamonte doing the postgame radio interview.

I would like to hear his answer to that question though. I'm ready to hear why none of our other players ever get on the court as well. There were long stretches yesterday where Clarke was turning it over or firing up horrible shots over and over again. You can not possibly tell me that any of those walk ons would have done worse...it's just not even possible to play any worse than he did for stretches yesterday.

I almost think that Orr is just messing with us this year since he knows he's done here. This lame duck coaching stuff is getting old...

That is a question I wish was asked and I would also love to see the answer to as well. I'm not saying it would be easy to ask some of those questions, but it is also frustrating as hell to listen to all of these post game press conferences and it seems like he's almost given a free pass game after game and now year after year for seven seasons without ever really being accountable for the mess that he has created. The press conference after last year's final game was the first time that I can remember him being ask some difficult questions, and we all know how that ended. He responded with the whole "it's in God's hands" and he actually seemed frustrated for the first time trying to answer anything. Now it just seems like we sit and listen to the same old crap and everyone seem to dance around the elephant in the room.

I would love for one of the reporters to ask a couple questions that I can't ask myself. Question such as why did you not fill all the scholarships, how are we in a situation where you have a team with no outside shooters, or better yet how do you have a team that can't even hit free throws? How are we seven years into your system with all of your players, and yet have made no progress and continue along the same lines of poor, uninspired basketball? This is seven years of this junk and enough is enough.
