Hill has turned into a beast for us offensively. Hibbert has done alright, but not as good as expected. Our mantra is the same, whenever we focus on playing tough defense, we can beat anyone. When we lapse on defense we suffer, plain and simple. We had lapses on defense that killed us late against VMI and CSU, but on the flip side, after giving up 41 to HPU last night in the first half, we held them to 9 points in the first ten minutes of the second half and that swung the game to our advantage.

I've heard that defense does not win games. I'm confused.

How many FT's did GW miss to ice the game vs VMI. Don't blame your defense, poor foul shooting cost your team. Read the box score fellas. VMI banked in a 3 to tie and the defender was all over the shooter. Good defense there just a lucky shot huh??

I'll be watching this one from my living room on MASN (aka, SCAR-vision).

I wanted to go see the Zooperstars but Mrs Purple said I was too old

Vines center looks really blue. Like in a lot of empty seats.

30 - 15... 2:50 min till half, Wow, this is embarrassing!

Posted: **February 11th, 2014, 8:48 pm**

13 minutes to get into double figures and shooting 29%? Doesn't sound like a defensive problem to me. We definitely need to find a player(s) who can fill the bucket up. I don't see any on the floor or bench lately. We are just a bad team.

Baseball starts Friday.

This may be the worst I have seen us play this year. Anyone who is watching this want to argue that point.....

Looks like they are wearing LU uni's tonight. No offense to the Z'stars.

I'm a Senior who puts his head down and dribbles into 3 players in the corner. Who am I?

Posted: **February 11th, 2014, 8:53 pm**

It's a good thing I am not JB. I would fire the staff tonight.

Posted: **February 11th, 2014, 8:54 pm**

LU has 12 turnover's already. But everyone thinks defense wins championships. When u dribble off your foot, pass to the other team, fall down, it has nothing to do with your defense or other teams defense.... It means your offense is like a middle school girls team!

19 points in the first half?

This team has issues on both ends of the court. Lots of standing around almost like no one really wants the ball. If I were the coach I would empty the bench in the second half. I mean what can it hurt and what does he have to loose. Lets see if Wes and Ryan can play.

I mean I realize nobody is actually going to say they don't care in interviews, but I wish they would instead of acting as if they do. They simply aren't even trying at this point. Sit the seniors and build for the future this season is over. I have tried to spin it in my head to have some faith, but it is just impossible.

I don't know why these guys won't buy into Dale, but they haven't and unfortunately a new direction needs to be taken.

So frustrating.

It can't be because of his hair. I mean that's a solid do he's got going on

Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.
