Anger Issues: My Charlotte Vs. ECU Game Analysis-
ECU: I do not care for the reliance on the 3-point shot and frankly, our play inside-the-paint -both offensively and defensively- SUCKS DONKEY SHLONG. We got absolutely killed on the boards tonight and we gave up way too many second-chance buckets.

We need to play with more composure and "know" when to slow it down and know when to push it... at times we looked very disorganized tonight.

We really need the "big men" to get more involved in this offense; they need to move out of the paint, clear, and allow the guards to drive. Robert Sampson looked horrid all evening. We desperately miss Morrow down low.

As for Charlotte, they should have beat us by a larger margin but y'all do seem headed in the right direction. I'm particularly impressed with your hustle and offensive movement; I'm not sure where y'all are expected to finish in the A10 but I'll wish your team the best of luck.

We were actually projected to finish 12th in the A10. I suspect we've raised that to around 8 as of right now. This was our sloppiest game so far and we'll need to tighten the ball control against the LOLCats on Wednesday.

St. Andrews should help ECU get back on track. If the Pirates can find an inside game they should be a threat in conference play.

1. We have big guys, but they are too polite. They need to find their nuts and knock guys down on their asses.

2. See number 1.

St. Andrews is just going to make us think we fixed issues when we really didn't. These are the types of games we need to play. Playing nobodies doesn't do us any good. You don't gain anything by playing those garbage games, and in fact they just slow the growth process of a team down.

Agreed. I'll admit that I stopped watching basketball "seriously" years ago and that I'm a Bobby Knight disciple, which means that I hate the tempo that the game is played with nowadays and the sloppiness that comes with it. ECU had to have double-digit turnovers and I'm pretty sure that y'all scored at least 20 second-chance points due to a HUGE OR advantage; three good big-men could help us tremendously, as would a change of attitude regarding out tempo.

My honest assessment of Charlotte; and this not meant as trash talk: You guys are going to lose to teams that press you for extended periods of a game and then play a zone defense behind that press. Your team doesn't face pressure well nor do they shoot well.

Your strengths are throwing it up on the glass and then having all 5 guys going after it. I have no idea why ECU didn't zone you all tonight or box out better on the glass; because if it wasn't for put backs you guys would have had a horrible shooting percentage.

RE: Anger Issues: My Charlotte Vs. ECU Game Analysis-
Kudos to Charlotte, their guys looked like men and played like it. Our guys looked like boys. The things that are baffling to me as an ECU is why not more full court press? Why not go zone we they can't hit the from the outside?

We have proven shooters, we've hit 12-15 3's in games multiple nights against good teams, we've yet to even approach that this year with the same shooters. Thats concerning.

This is a pretty solid analysis of the game. As a Charlotte fan, I enjoyed our work on the low block and our movement in the half court set. I didn't like when we'd break the press and the force a sloppy pass into the paint. We did much better slowing down after breaking pressure and working the ball for a good shot.

I think the drive and kick worked well, but we definitely had your shooters flustered. They rushed shots and hit a couple of prayers. They were always looking over their shoulder.

I hate the way Lebo has your team playing because it reminds me of Bobby ball, but at least he uses a real defensive scheme.

We certainly haven't been very good, no. That's why we fired our coaching staff.

Did either of your two wins clinch a Conference USA title?

Lebo is a good coach but frankly, he has one of the more difficult jobs in college basketball. Add to that, he has to get the players to listen to him...

We're probably middle of the pack in CUSA; we would get crushed in the A10 this year.

You are correct. Lebo is doing as well as he can under the circumstances. The talent level difference between the teams tonight was obvious. We will see that again against UMass. Anyone that can't see the problem is either not paying attention or is just stupid. It all has to do with recruiting. Hopefully the investment we are making in the program will help with that. Having a schedule to sell recruits would be the biggest thing we could do to lure better talent. We made some progress before the BE raided CUSA and took UofL,Marquette,Depaul...ect. We can improve if we can recruit. If we can't..we remain at our current level of performance. This is not complicated.

No, but it showed that someone had no business being the number 1 seed in the CUSA tournament or an at large participant in the NCAA tournament.

I must have been watching a different game, because I didn't see any difference in the level of the talent between the two teams. I thought that one team was allowed to play more physical than the other team early on; and big guys wearing the purple never took on the challenge.

RE: Anger Issues: My Charlotte Vs. ECU Game Analysis-
You guys had a lot more experience on the floor and our players outplayed you at every position. You can either say that we're more talented or that your players just failed to deliver on their talent which would fall on your coach.

I would say that ECU has better players than I've seen player there in a while (since that team with Cook and the french dude), but they aren't on our level right now and we're not exactly world beaters.

Charlotte will have a hard time every game they are in because they can't shoot. Their X factor is their nasty defense. they will win quite a few games on their d..

I would say that ECU has better players than I've seen player there in a while (since that team with Cook and the french dude), but they aren't on our level right now and we're not exactly world beaters.

I think tonight that it was on the ECU big men and I am really surprised that Lebo did not press Charlotte more or play zone.

ECU has talent; and as you saw when after they took that first punch in the mouth, they turned right around and cut that Charlotte lead in half in the blink of an eye. I don't know why Lebo didn't stay aggressive, becasue he clearly had Charlotte on their heels by pushing the ball and pressing; but that is why he is the coach.

Cut an 18 point lead down to 9 and you never got closer than 9 points for the rest of the game. It was never close. This was a blowout wire to wire and we played really sloppy.

Look, I'm not saying there isn't any talent there, but your guys aren't on the level of our guys. You have a far more experienced team, so to get outclassed by younger players means either they are woefully underprepared or they just aren't as good.

I do think Alan Major has done a better job as a HC than Lebo, both in strategy and recruiting.

We will agree to disagree. I think that you were allowed to play your style of basketball and you guys won. I don't think that your players are better; I think that all 5 of your guys attacke the glass for 2nd and 3rd shot opportunities and our big guys played soft.
