Omg...can you let it lie. So a poster or two said Terry was going to be the next Texas coach and you have to bring it up in every thread. I’m all about an intelligent debate and to hear different opinions, but you are here to just ruffle feathers all of the time. Don’t you have something better in your life than to just piss off faceless people morning, noon and night? And that dear sir, is the definition of a troll....

I suddenly don't see a game on our remaining schedule that I would put in the win column. We are capable of losing everything from now on. Realistically I doubt that we are about middle of the pack in a conference that's less than mediocre.Did we all really think it was going to be that easy? We pluck a coach away, we steal their recruits, we get a bunch of transfers and everything just falls into place.
I knew it was going to take more than one off season of playing against each other for this team to gel. These guys have to play live games together. That cannot be duplicated in the summer scrimmages.
BTW. Terry said in the post game that "it's difficult to work Tarke into the game". May I inquire by asking why? You don't find it difficult to give Lathon and Vila enough time to screw up the outcome. Where were Hawkins, Efe and Stroud?
The good thing is we still have 20 games to figure it out before the season starts.
I don't think it's a matter of gelling, Corona. We have no point guard. The guy who's playing point can't dribble it within 20ft of the basket without falling on his ass, losing the ball, getting an offensive charge, or just throwing it away.
We also don't play the right personnel. That part is clear. Tarke and Efe riding the bench, while verhoeven and Vila get bulk minutes.
This team is a mess from a player a standpoint, as well as a coaching standpoint.
I think he’s the opposite of Floyd. He can bring in the 4 star kids but can he coach them? Floyd couldn’t recruit his own son here but was a master at X’s and O’sDespite the shit show, I think we’re still top half of CUSA and even top 4. Obviously some things will have to iron out, but all is not lost...yet. Hopefully Terry is not Floyd level bad and will adjust.
With such a deep stable of highly rated guards and not one of them can step up and fill the role is baffling.
As far as the personal that’s something that takes more than 10 games to figure out. We don’t know how the bench looks in practice. What if Villa and Tydus eat Tarke and Efe during practice? Terry is starting to give minutes to the bench. I think by pod play the starters will have earned their role on a live court and not in a closed practice.

Agree big time on the first point of course. On Lathon, I'm hoping some of the issues are due to inexperience, but realistically it looks more like he lacks some fundamentals to be effective at the position. Just looking at his stats the past few games, it is difficult to justify him being out there for that many minutes. However, Terry essentially handed over the reigns to the young guy with no realistic options on the roster to sub him out.I don't think it's a matter of gelling, Corona. We have no point guard.

I see what you’re saying. My memories of Floyd are a little nicer. For some reason I remember Floyd coaching depleted teams, mostly because of his own fault, to top four in the conference.I thought Floyd was a helluva defensive coach. I was never impressed with how he coached a half court offense. If he didn’t have an OJ Mayo or a Marcus Fizer, his offenses struggled everywhere he was.
I guess what I meant by Floyd level bad is how kids would get in his doghouse and never come out again...at least without shackles and chains.
I have a feeling Terry is being hard on some guys who could really help out, which reminds me of Floyd. This team is not playing with chemistry. That’s more often than not a coaching issue.
Much better to call them queer and make tamale jokes about their mom right?
nothing wrong with being a gay mama’s boy
We are 2 pt dogs tonightI do like the point though that with all this doom and gloom and not getting players in we feel should be and the team not having play from the guard position we need to win — if we can get these next two games which are winnable we are still 10-3... which ain’t bad....
Didn’t a Floyd recruit transfer and ended up at Ball St?
That’s him. I don’t why I remember Ball St. Did any of our transfers end up at Ball St?Maybe you’re thinking of Christian Romaine who ended up at Illinois St
That’s him. I don’t why I remember Ball St. Did any of our transfers end up at Ball St?
Yes?Anyone listen to what terry said after? Was there a post game ?
Lathon didn't lose last night's game necessarily, however he definitely didn't help us win the game with the ball in his hands at the end. The other PG Buggs was the difference down the stretch. Woulda been nice to have a real PG like that.Yes?
Teich mentioned Tarke and Terry said it was"difficult" to find playing time for him. Guess that also applied to Stroud, Efe and Hawkins.
Said they had opportunities, but didn't capitalize.
Said Williams had a nice game.
No comments about the production of Lathon and Vila and Teich didn't ask.
Kind of a lackluster interview just like the game itself.
Ohh...also said Ball State is well coached.

Balls St is 110 on KenPom and we are 2 point dogs. This is another tough matchup for usIs it really that bad? Do I need to watch the games sober? .500?, can’t find another W to pencil in the schedule?
The honeymoon really is over.
All three of our losses would probably be on the record of any other CUSA team.
@ a top 50 UH and @ two top 120 teams.
I really thought we could sneak one out against Hawaii. I was wrong but my 10-3 ooc prediction is still on the table. If we lose tonight it’s going to raise my right eyebrow.

I can justify the first three losses. A 50/50 game on a neutral court, I can not. Terry needs to win this one.Balls St is 110 on KenPom and we are 2 point dogs. This is another tough matchup for us
As always, the eternal optimistI suddenly don't see a game on our remaining schedule that I would put in the win column. We are capable of losing everything from now on. Realistically I doubt that we are about middle of the pack in a conference that's less than mediocre.
Gilyard dissapeared last year....Gilyard would have been the difference maker, to make THIS years team special... It's a tragedy he got run off. Wasn't it supposed to be for an asst. coach and player?
