Go Pirates!

Skin the Tigers! :ecu:

As always, I'm here....... :ecu:

I dont know how much more of this i can take...

Ill apologize for the rest of the student body... but i just dont expect theres gonna be much more support for the rest of the year. The applause the baseball team got was assuring though.

Heres my take on the game, posted here because i try to avoid the boneyard and all that chaos.
Sorry the structure is going to off, as this will resemble a quick little rant.

Derrick Wiley is not Mike Cook. For some reason, Mike has proven rather efficient at the shot no man should take. Wiley on the other hand has no business frantically flinging something up in traffic -- somehow seeming confident all the while. The three point shooting is a nightmare, and when you have Bing and Moussa with 0 fouls going for them, and their bigger men racking them up, they shouldve had their hands on the ball far more than they did. Now how they occasionally miss layups - i have no idea. The officiating is so bad -- even moreso as of late - that getting AND1s should be our offensive gameplan. They dont have to run into three players and fling up something to get that call. Simply just shoot it. Quick passes are nice and all, when they pay off, but Bing and Moussa dont have the hands for it, especially when my eyes cant even keep up. Rivers and Cook were zipping some stuff around down there for no reason. Unless its a fast break, there isnt any need to rush anything... just get it to the big men and let them take a higher percentage shot. Moussa played outstanding tonight, but couldve hit miraculous if our backcourt had more patience.

I know some have posted how the fans werent going crazy enough... We were down three and i couldnt hear much etc etc
The crowd can only be expected to get rowdy when were on a run, or when theyre on a run. When the entire game is segemented with fouls, and its always a close game, its very wearing to keep the rowdiness up. Im exhausted - but a sober wednesday might be to blame.

I know the refs are horrible - - hopefully CUSA learned the same.
