What is wrong with our team? They just don’t look very good this year.

We don’t have an ounce of athleticism and it doesn’t help that we have no post game.

It’s painful to see teams abuse Porter whether it’s shooting over him or posting and driving by him. For one thing Ritchie has to change his recruiting philosophy.

Darius is pretty athletic
VanZandt is pretty athletic even if I can’t spell his name
Warfield is athletic

Now, if you want athleticism from the frontline…. You won’t find it.

How much are we losing by?

This is by far our best game of the season. I mean by far. I’m still concerned about Porter but it is nice to see us playing well today. A very strong team effort.

I love watching Venzant play defense. He puts the clamps on whoever he guards. It is impressive.

So we are leading? From reading the other posts I assumed we were getting blown out. I'm out in the woods hunting and the stats broadcast is not working.

We are up 79-57. I just assumed you were making a point that people were acting like we are as bad as chicago state despite winning big.

No…. We played well today. Shiloh did nothing but we pretty much controlled the game today, especially in the second half.

What we don’t have are guys who are athletes and basketball players. Aside from Darius, our best athletes haven’t shown a ton of skill, and our most skilled guys, like Peebles and Porter, are athletically limited.

The comment I replied to was “we don’t have an ounce of athleticism”. You make a different point.

I know, I was adding to your point

I wouldn’t mind a few athletic bigs. Basketball players or not

JaVale McGee!

It was good to see 3 players in double figures. Need this effort every game.
