Just read where Strothers and Jancek will be good to go, but Tripler will not be making the trip.

The improvement of King from the start of the season until now has been superlative. It's been said many times that the Bucs badly needed improved guard play. King is certainly providing it. Plus, he plays the whole game, and he plays with maximum effort the whole time.

Congratulations and thank you to probably the hardest worker on the team.

From the JC Press: Jordan King

I'm raising my odds of us winning the whole thing from 1.5%, as posted in the UNC-G thread, all the way up to about 4.5%. I have my reasons, one of which being that I think Chatty *can* beat Sammie. (NOT a prediction - but don't be shocked. If there's going to be an upset in this round, that'll be the most likley, imo. Also not counting an ETSU win over WCU - that's *almost* a pick em'.) AND............not trying to jinx us by looking ahead (this is purely odds calculational ciphering)............if we should down the Catamounts, I'll go up to ~8%, depending on the Chatty/Sammie outcome.

Fire Oliver into the sun

Freaking puke

Joke

We are just absolutely lost out there. Leaving people open possession after possession.

Etsuck so far. Pitifil.

Don’t know if we’re lost or just disinterested. Looks like some of them going thru the motions.

Let us list some names. Smith, Taylor, Hairston have all looked completly disinterested. And for a couple of those names it has been an issue the whole year.

Coach Joe did not have the scout for this game. Stupid decision

You don't need a scout for todays game.. Every coach in the league has all the info on all the teams.

No energy, no effort overall.

Sideline reporter for ESPN said that Oliver told the team with about 9 min to go and down by 14 that they needed to "Muddy it up a little" in order to get back into the game. Possibly the players knew what he was talking about, I have no idea.

Goodbye, ESPN+, for the time being.[/u]

They also said that Oliver was taking suggestions on plays from the players... Oliver is not in charge.

I’m fairly certain if you put Hugley in charge we would immediately be better. Terrible all around. Don’t give me any BS. That’s Western Carolina. We have every advantage over that cellar dweller and lost to them 3 times.

"The men’s and women’s basketball portals are open March 13-May 11."

Decisions, decisions.

Glad this season is over, as we need to MOVE ON! Oliver's time as a HC is gone, and we need new direction.

This program crashes to the bottom - three in a row to Western Carolina is the icing on the cake. Of course Oliver is not the right coach - he should resign and head back to the assistant ranks. If he doesn’t- how can ETSU afford not to dismiss him?
