4 years ago maybe. Now everyone just actually believes they can beat us. Problem is we let them believe that by not playing ball.

And look at the disastrous results.

Only on a 25-3 run in CUSA.

Tragic.

Indeed, we are winning the games. No one is arguing that. However no team Fears Memphis anymore. We are a winnable game in their eyes.

It really will be awful if they actually do lose another game.

No one else ever loses.

Tired of his same constant excuses and blaming our lack of playing ball and intensity on other teams being good. Not every team we play is good. Damn.

After today's loss, coupled with Marshall laying down and not trying to beat our kids yet still beating them, he better.

Indeed not every team we play is good. Sorry stats are facts.

How many C-USA Teams other then us have made the tourney since the first Big East Raid? Losing these games really would be awful.

Absolutely. Tom O'neill is one of the worst I've ever seen.

Terry Moore was the best of the 3 blind mice today.

Very inconsistent officiating; hard for us to get into any flow or consistency.

Losing to Southern Miss at Southern Miss wouldn't hurt us too bad.

We won the only one that counts.

Because they changed the rules, if an underdog comes close it really does not matter that you outscored them.

So...we deserve a loss.

I guess you don't understand English. I said should have lost, not did lose. We played poorly and unfocused, they played with more fire. I'm sure Marshall feels they should have won. It is the conditional tense. But I'm sure it's hard to concentrate while you're gleefully going through 500 posts getting your rocks off in a finished thread while eating a bucket of fried chicken washed down with code red Mountain Dew.

I feel you,these guys are just too cocky to not back it up.At least a Lotta these guys are graduating early and can play as graduates somewhere else.I take up for these guys all the time but we have a bunch of fake tough guys with no heart and grit.

That lack of grit was evident when our kids made two 6 humongous defensive stands in the last minute of today's game.

Well while I'll agree with some of what you say, the part about us making huge defensive stops is false..They missed 1 uncontested layup that would have tied the game and an easy put back that they just blew while being uncontested with under a minute to go..so it wasn't a defensive stand on 1 of the possessions, more of a choke job..

Wasn't their 3 point shooting as much as it was their domination on the boards

Everything else is just blah blah blah.

Not really. We are having trouble playing great basketball. When we play great teams, we will lose.

We need to figure that out.

I agree, a win counts just the same....but we need to get better or we don't make the ncaa, or we lose first round again if we do.

No Marshalls will make the tourney.

I didn't mention any of that stuff. You just brought up stuff you wanted to point out. No relation to my post.
