It has been an impressive roller coaster this season. We can't win on the road. We can't keep people healthy. We just about roll the dice each game to figure out who is playing and who isnt. Until we get healthy this is just who we are right now.

Oh and we don't play any defense either and it showed. Bad defense plus streaky offense = doom on many nights.

Better days are ahead for you. I like your coach. And it's hard going from Bruiser's style to Spiker's. Completely different philosophy that impacts how your program recruits and plays on BOTH ends of the floor.

We've seen flashes of it this year, so I agree. But the reason why Bruiser's teams late in his tenure were bad as well was because they stopped playing defense. The transition hasnt been as drastic as it appears on paper. Bruiser had a bunch of willing guys who wanted to run but werent allowed and didnt play defense. So taking that into letting them run while still not playing defense wasnt a huge shift. The mentality shift is definitely a change, but the play is not. We still struggle from a talent standpoint.

I think most are on board with Spiker and how he handles everything, it is all about can he get the right players here to execute it. It is year 3 and we are seeing some flashes, so there is promise, but we are now on 5 straight terrible years, which wears on a program and its fans, even when positives can be seen.
