@ Akron (3/5)

[mbenecke]

Lillard triple cuts it to 4.

[hammb]

Wow we finally show some defensive effort and make a run.

[Diemilkweed]

What has happened to our rebounding? I turn in to live stats just in time to watch them get 4 or 5 rebounds in a row.

And this is not new. Been going on for weeks. So seriously, what happened?

[hammb]

Didn’t we used to rebound well?

Really haven't rebounded well for most of the MAC season. We rebounded well against the OOC schedule where Wiggins was the biggest for on the court by 3"

[mbenecke]

Lillard and one opportunity. He missed it, but there was a lane violation. He makes the re-do.

Akron has 8 fouls with 10:33 left in this one. Time to be aggressive and drive to the hole. We can 100% win this game if we make our free throws.

We are getting eaten alive by a 5'6" 160 lb guard.

[hammb]

It's uncanny with this group. Akron scores and we immediately do something stupid on offense.

Someone needs to make this aggressive adjustment. We don't need Lillard out there chucking up fadeaway threes. He's a slasher, so let's get his driving to the bucket and finishing around the rim.

[mbenecke]

And now Lillard misses a wide open dunk. Why not just lay it up?

[mbenecke]

Now we're back down 9. A little over 8 minutes left.

[hammb]

Seriously what the effo was that!?

[Globetrotter]

That series is bg basketball in a nut shell. No b-ball iq. No one is smart enough to pull it out.

[hammb]

We're gonna lose this one. May keep it close and only lose by 4-5, but this is what happens when you flat out don't play for 20+ minutes. This team isn't good enough to win with s**t effort.

[Diemilkweed]

This is like reading an old, familiar, hated book.

We are going to lose out, get the 3rd seed, then lose in the 1st game we play in the tourney.

God damnit I am SO sick of never doing anything in the post season. When OU and their 2 massive bigs took us out in the final at Anderson Arena in 1983, I was in the stands. Would have been on the sideline as a junior falcon but I broke my arm and had to hand the position over. That was the last time we actually made any real noise at all, and the last time we had any kind of real shot at making the NCAA (since they stopped taking our regular season winner if it was not the tourney winner the same time we started winning the season and not the tourney).

He’s a bad coach. It’s undeniable. Good man. Bad coach.
