Even most if not all of the bad teams we play have one.

That's because of our defense.

I’ve heard thAt before, but BB is a lot about scoring too.

We don’t have all the pieces for a team .

And that’s hard on the players. Injuries happen more when they try to overcompensate

This is hard on our players.

It is incomprehensible.

I love these players right now and I'm proud of how hard they try. It's not their fault that they are who they are, and all I can ask is they give 100%, which they're doing. For their sake I really hope we make the post season. Jeremiah Martin is awesome.

He actually has hired a recruiter of the level you speak of ... You will just have to wait till next season to see him in action.

Pierre will not be here next year

The only reason he is working for Tub is because of the restrictions. If not for that he would have never came here.

Actually, you are 100% wrong. Short of a head coaching job or Tubby getting fired he will be here next year. This is a fact.

FACT?

Please explain or are you using and alternate definition of fact

No. I am using the exact definition you will find in a dictionary based on the knowledge I have at my disposal.

In reality, they play bad every game. They are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the nation, their defense isn't particularly great, and they have no reliable interior scoring.

For them to do what they have done (grind out wins) they rely on out hustling teams, drawing lots of fouls (11th best in the nation in points from ft's) and getting offensive rebounds.

Having "out hustle" team or rely on getting fouls isn't generally the best way to win games.

Actually it is exactly the single best way to win close games. So we just have to find a way to be close at the end of games.

Totally.

Nothing like being down 2 with 10 seconds to go. No reliable go to post guy or no knock down three, so you call the "Hey, let's really scrap play. Goooooooo SUPER HUSTLE on 1!"

Works like a charm.

It does if you drive to the basket and make your free throws.

lol If you can't make shots from beyond the arc, sooner or later they will all be waiting under the basket.

I think it's called Godwin's Law.

We have not been shooting all that bad lately.

It just looks double badly when we miss the rim and miss bunnies.

When conference games start, it will be a different game...no floor ball.

I agree. Always like an "and one" over "2 at the line".

I tend to think most of the conference games will look exactly like our season so far and that our conference record will basically mimic our ooc record so far. We seem to play mostly to the level of our opponent. Take out the outliers on each end of the bell curve and you can expect a ton of close games decided in the last 4 minutes. So far, we have done well with that. I'm glad we are getting good practice at it. Exciting stuff!

I agree for the most part.

I think we are going to give up around 70-80 points a game (defense has been bad). The question will be can we score that many.
