certainly not the end, but we're digging a hole and the BSC is pretty competitive this year.

I agree. The BigSouth continues to improve as a conference from top to bottom.

"Wait, I'm now being told he did hit that shot. So it looks like they won after all. Sorry folks"

[LUconn]

Come on RMK, don't sound sad and beaten. We let them off the hook!

He's always like that after a loss. I've never heard him mad.

Ritchie on Miller - "We did a horrible job on him....we kept backing away."

He didn't interview after UNCA. That's probably a sign that he's mad.

When someone asked who we were this year, I think many nailed it on the head. We're going to be hard to beat on our home floor while road games were simply where wins would be at a premium.

However, losing to Presby, is a bad bad loss.

Yeah that makes it seem like we would totally suck and get killed on the road, but we have totally sucked and barely lost on the road. Stop teasing us.

[Hold My Own]

alright, we are offically in trouble. 1-3

We're not in trouble...we'll know at the end of the weekend if we truly are....we get these two back and we're right where you'd expect us to be right now.



RMK doesnt blow gaskets that's why when he does yell it demands so much respect....unlike years past where everyone was tone deaf and you didnt know if he was actually serious this time

[Cider Jim]

In the post game, McKay described our defensive effort as "horrendous" and alluded that there may be "lineup changes" before the next game due to our lack of defending the 3 ball.

Any speculation as to who will be benched and who will start in his place?

[LUconn]

well it's a pretty subjective thing but I'd say 1-3 is "in trouble". I don't think there's gonna be any easy road wins. It's gonna be a dog fight every night. And we're 0-3. And you can expect to drop at least 1 at home. Heck these last 2 were without any students back. Where are we gonna find these wins? They may come eventually, but if they don't come IMMEDIATELY we're going to spend every game trying to catch up to get at least 1 home game in the tourney. And it's pretty obvious we need all home games in the tourney.

[WWJFD]

Winning on the road...let's ask Randy...no better not, we could not wins on the road then either...

maybe we need to sacrifice a live chicken before the next road game.... Pedro where are you?

Not exactly a "glass half full" kinda guy, are we? The season is young (and our team is even younger). The fact that they haven't found a way to win these close road games yet does not mean it will be that way all year.

[Cider Jim]

Don't poke the (grm) bear!

[Hold My Own]

What were we on the road in 04?

[BJWilliams]

I am disappointed in this loss (especially since I didnt get a chance to hear the game) To be honest I was in the 10-12 win range when I was looking at how we would do in conference. We are 1-3 right now. We are very good at home and we will get both of these teams on our floor when the students are in town. Are we in trouble? I really wont say. Are there going to need to be changes? Obviously RMK thinks so and they will be made.

Im going to remember a rule that Coach Green has had for a while: We've got 24 hours...lets lament this loss now but we cant still be stewing over this come Tuesday night. We have another game to get ready for and so do the guys.

[olldflame]

What were we on the road in 04?

4-4 in conference

[Hold My Own]

hmmm...ok


Thanks

[WWJFD]

presby is now 3 and 1 in the Big South including 2 wins on the road at High Point and Coastal and losing at home to Radford by 10..... if you told me at the beginning of the season we would be 1 and 3 and they would be 3 and 1, I would think that was crazy...

hear those screams...sounds like some flame fans jumping off the vines...

[BJWilliams]

This is not the time to be jumping off anything. Like I said, is this disappointing well yeah...but I think most of us are keeping fairly level heads about our expectations for how we'd do in conference. We have two home games coming up. We take those we are back at level. then we are at VMI...we won there last year so I think we can get a nice run going starting there this weekend.

Flames better learn to guard that three or they are going to get run off the court...

Dead God, please bench Kyle Ohman.

<begin>

Dear Kyle,

Please stop running your mouth. The entire game. Just stop talking. Don't yell at the opposing coach telling him he should call a timeout. Don't beat your chest after drawing a charge. Don't whine to the ref after every foul he calls on you. Don't whine to the coaches and other players when you are taken out of the game. Just stop.

Oh, by the way, can you start playing defense on the perimeter as well? You've been playing great defense in the lane the past few weeks but when you're on the outside, you don't get a hand in the guy's face when he's shooting.

Lastly, will you stop trying to play above your ability? You scored so much at UVA because you let the game come to you. Instead, now you're dribbling out of control, getting stuck in the corner, or stepping on the baseline with under 30 seconds left.

I would appreciate it if these things change. Our team will be much better if it does.

Thanks,

The Fat Kid

Know exactly how you feel, we had a sucky 1 point loss to Towson just a few days ago. Got a win today vs Drexel, though.

[Ed Dantes]

Intemperate Thoughts:

I hate Presby. Everyone knows Presbyterians are just Baptists with drinking problems.
I wonder how many people are going to roll their ankles jumping off the bandwagon.
Why do we always play to the level of our opposition? Can't we have one blow-out win?*
I hope McKay lights a fire under these boys the same way he did after the UNC-A debacle.
Thanks, Big South, for scheduling three of our first four conference games away from home.
I'm still holding out hope that we're going to run the table.

*against a Division I opponent.
