Therefore, Louis Orr lost almost every game to Akron. Not shocking at all. Akron has won alot of games against BG in a row, mainly because of Louis Orr. Louis Orr no longer coaches at Bowling Green. However, several of Louis Orr's recruits still play on the team. If BG losses on Saturday, rather than the long winded post about being owned by Akron, just remind yourself how far Louis Orr set the program back, and during that time Akron was good. Chris Jans will do just fine going forward against Akron and every other program in the MAC, regardless of this Saturday.
There it is. It is amazing we haven't been able to beat them but its only a matter of time. Jans is already changing the culture and we haven't even seen any of his recruits except for a few JUCO's.

BG led 26-12 and was in total control before Akron closed the half with another huge run against us - this time a 17-3 charge - to tie it at the half 29-29.

We simply CANNOT beat Akron!!! BG totally fell apart with Akron's ball pressure and BG couldn't get the loose balls or rebound - Akron just wanted it more and out-worked us. Akron's last-second shot hung on the rim and rolled in and yet ANOTHER heartbreaking loss to these guys at home! Simply crushing. Gonna be a long ride home....
GO BG!!!

This loss doesn't surprise me. Any loss doesn't surprise me.

The culture of this program for DECADES has been mostly one of losing.

That doesn't change in one year, I don't care how good the coach is. Especially when you've had, arguably, the worst coach in the history of D-1 basketball ruining your program for all those prior years.

Yes, I think he was that bad, and yes I think he did that much damage.

It's going to take a few years to turn this around. Players on the team then have to be gone, and a different mind-set has to take over.

Anyone who thinks Holmes is going to play in the NBA, it can be put to bed after watching his two games against Akron alone. If a guy like Forsythe causes him that many problems, he doesn't stand a chance at the next level.

Holmes didn't play that well but he's been sick for several days.
