zippy5 Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 Well, they created some good chances the last eight minutes once they showed some urgency. Hopefully they take something away from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy87 Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 60 of our 64 points came from Freeman/Ali/Tribble/Hunter. We have zero depth. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More accurately we have no guards other than Tribble who can make open shots. Perhaps Nate, when and if he returns will improve the situation. It's not a one or two gsme slump, it's all season. Scott, Dawson and Thurmond are of no value on offense anf Prather is not the answer. This team is in trouble in 3 of its remaining 5 games unless their guard play greatly improves.

I think Tavari can, too. Just don't think Groce fully trusts him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 Well at least now we don't have to look back thinking that the Miami game ruined our shot at an undefeated conference season. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 I thought this team would play better as the season progressed. Based on the last 3 games, they are regressing. Groce has to see that he needs to do something and bringing Prather off the bench to wake guys up is not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I believe Groce will figure it out. Many players, especially Freeman, have said this team has another level in them. I think they should have that, but in reality they do not. They have too many weaknesses to go deep in the tournament. In fact it will be a challenge to win the MAC. The turnovers that plague this team are a puzzle. Why can't they be patient rather than trying to force a play? I am struggling to understand why Groce keeps starting Dawson. He has started to show defensive lapses and his shooting is atrocious. Nonetheless I keep telling myself to enjoy this team because next year's edition will be a big drop-off from past performance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a puzzle, and all we can do is watch and hope some of these 3 balls eventually make it through the net in Cleveland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsrowdy88 Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 Sucks to lose, but this is the wake up call we needed. Have to adjust a lot prior to Kent. Praying we see Nate in the last game prior to Cleveland to maybe work him in a little. Just win out and get the 1 seed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAZip Posted February 21, 2024 Report Share Posted February 21, 2024 You know the offense has stalled when Ali has reverted back to the slow back it in…back it in …back it in turn around jump shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo was ready for it last night and drew a charge or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
