BG vs Flashes

[gmartin]

BG vs Kent tonight. I'm not going to waste my two hours of my time watching this game tonight. I'll tune in the live stats from time to time. I'm sure that's what others are doing anyways.

Nah, I'm watching it. BG trails 10-9 at the 1st quarter t/o.

Just like that, it's now 29-11. What a joke. Sydney is out with 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes and KSU is hot.

Lambert 3rd foul with 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, Santoro ZERO points. Yep. The fall is almost complete. 40-18 at the half.

40-18 against a team we beat earlier and a team with similar records. 1 more win this season. HoopsFan I admire your support but I can't support any longer. I'll check the stats in an hour to see the final score.

BG closed the gap to 65-49 with 5 min left...and are now down 81-57 in the last minute. Oh how we have a looooong way to go.

Once again Team lacks energy and fight. Seems we don’t play hard until we are down by 20. Another sad performance by Roos and staff. We cannot put Cecil Lambert and Santoro together for one game. Either one or the other. Roos needs to get pg’s under control. Williams comes in follows Lambert’s lead. Dribble dribble dribble while four girls stand and watch with occasional High ball screen which doesn’t work. Our bigs can’t play a lick of defense. We have not had Good center since Stein. Santoro needs to pick up her shooting but two guard that leads Team in rebounding ...maybe post do their job she have some legs. Not sure how leading scorer gets one shot off first half. Cecil not sure what happened to her since start of Mac play. thought she was looking good but now non existent. Bull dozes her way into charges every game. Freshman post C Thompson got off to good start but hasn’t been very active second half.

Disappointing..fans deserve more.

I watched the first three quarters, and that was plenty for me. Another game of performing at the level of a high school JV team against a cellar-dweller of the MAC. This Falcon team is not mean enough, aggressive enough, and unfortunately, not smart enough to compete at this level. If they WERE smart enough, they wouldn’t keep doing so many stupid things. Notice, I didn’t say that they weren’t talented enough, because I believe they are. These young ladies are not well-coached as individual players, and they are not well-coached as a team. Our post players don’t know how to defend the paint, and our guards don’t know how to defend the three-ball. Offensively, we strugggle to even draw iron as we throw up brick after brick inside of ten feet. You know, it would really help if our players would look at the basket when we take those inside shots. Glowniak, Lambert, and Cecil barely showed up, and our subs at the post position continue to play with butterfingers. Santoro finally had a few points halfway through the third quarter. Kennedy Williams and Caterrion Thompson looked like the best players on the floor. I think Williams and Lambert need to be on the floor at the same time, along with C. Thompson. Coach Roos needs to teach these kids fundamentals, she needs to yell at them when they screw up, and she needs to discipline them and make them run when they play below the level of excellence. Many student-athletes at this level do not have the capacity to motivate themselves to perform at the level they’re capable of, which is why we have coaches. It is the coaches’ job to motivate and instruct their players to reach the fullness of their athletic potential while under their watch. With the hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships and coaches salaries at BGSU, what returns are the BGSU athletic department and the BGSU women’s basketball fans getting for their investment, aside from watching our team embarrass themselves, and the fans, game after game. I truly believe we’ve all seen enough!!!! My honest opinion, as always!

[BGSUFan2017]

Not sure if Thompson Lambert and Williams on court at same time would Work. To much inconsistency on offensive end and defensively would not work. Personally I think Puk gets taken out of rotation to fast. Good defender Good shooter. I am still not sure why she doesn’t try puk Thompson and santoro.

[BGSUFan2017]

We are not mentally prepared or fundamentally sound. Ball goes in post like black hole. We never pass up a good shot for a better shot.

Not sure record but one point 8-3 and now 10-10 maybe..

Pry not many more winnable games left.

I am done for the night. Just so frustrated.

I agree it would be nice to see Lambert, Santoro, Caterrion, Puk & Cecil out there. They would definitely present mismatches offensively for opposing teams. Defensively they might be a little undersized in the paint but they couldn’t be any worse than they already are. Too many selfish plays by the guards(Lambert & Santoro) not just this game per se but several. Dribble drive but fail to kick the ball out to open shooters who are shooting good percentages from the 3. The guards tend to go 1 on 3 & dang near 1 on 4 at times. Forcing up terrible shots if not simply turning the ball over. Roos acts as if she can’t say things to certain players nor sit them down. Lack of leadership & energy as stated earlier from the staff which carry over to the players. How much longer shall we endure this? Enough is enough. Roos seem like a very nice person but coach wise she just not ready to be a head coach or she is lacking support from her assistants.

[elmrfudd]

Considering where this team is at fundamentally, I really don't think that any combination of players is going to make a world of difference. As I said before, I see a lot of raw, undeveloped talent on this team, but very few that have a really high basketball IQ at this level. A few kids just have a natural floor presence and high understanding of the way the game is to be played at this level. Right now, I can see some of that from Kennedy and Caterrion, but not many others. But I seriously think that the coaching style of this particular staff is squelching a lot of the players' natural talents. I feel like our players are being pressed into a mold they don't fit into. But the fact is, when you see this team so out of sorts that seven or eight times out of ten down the floor, they keep shooting themselves in the foot, it shows how out of kilter our basketball fundamentals are. I'm convinced that this current coaching staff has failed to do their jobs, and any future efforts on their part to right this ship is going to fail as well. The water keeps coming in faster than they can bail it out. This ship is already sunk, and these "captains of the ship" need to own the demise of this team. Looks like we have another year on a sunken ship after this season!

[Robb]

I hope we don’t have to go another year. It is truly painful to say the least to see some of these athletes have to go through what they are experiencing. I don’t like to harp on a kid but the guard play has to get better. Why not try another another line up? Heck at this point as late as it is in the season why not scrap the offense & put in another one? What else do we have to lose because we’re losing every game anyway. There just isn’t any sense of urgency. As long as players can get out there & jack up shot after shot, taking on the whole defense by themselves, causing turnover after turnover while having no real threat of being sat down due to poor performance this debacle will continue. Ok Roos is under contract I get that. If we’re not talking about getting rid of her why not put the pressure on her to get rid of the 3 blind mice. They truly serve no purpose. I can hold the clipboard up in the air. I can sit there & be quiet. I can cross my legs & look disgusted. C’mon now! Like they say, “A head coach is only as good as his/her coaching staff”. Need I say more?!

[elmrfudd]

I agree, Robb, but it’s not just the guard play that needs to get better. Every player, and every aspect of this team’s game needs a lot of improvement. Oh, how I wish this team could see how really good our “Sweet 16” team was, and that they could see, by comparison where they need to be as a team. But we can’t really expect Coach Roos to implement another offense when she refuses to do anything different than the failed schemes she’s used for the last four seasons. Perhaps she doesn’t know any other system than the one she’s been using. If you want extremely different results than what you’re getting, you MUST make extreme changes. That hasn’t happened, and I don’t expect it to happen. I really believe that she believes she’s close to getting over the hump, that a few breaks here and there would get this team on track. If that’s the case, she couldn’t be farther from the truth. The underlying issues of this team’s failures go much deeper. The only way to right this ship is to clean house where the coaching staff is concerned. I like her as a person, but her abilities to coach at this level, along with that of her assistants, fall far short of where it needs to be.

[BGSUFan2017]

We could have the best guards in the nation and with the offense we run where point guard stands at top of the key and dribbles and guards go in corner and stand.....there will never be good results.

There are so many issues we could discuss as to why this team is not successful. You might have a few players descent on offense pay no defense....or vice versa. I believe defense makes the offense go....I only see two girls out there that get after it on the defensive end. I would give Lambert one last chance and tell her if she can't pass the ball she is done. Second I would tell my posts that if my guard is leading rebounder the whole team will be running next practice. So many messages to send but obviously not being sent.
