When you turn the ball over on offense you can't set your defense the other team shoots layups PH....that's what happened in the first half. It's not about defense for LU it's about bad bad offense. No flow or purpose.

offense wins in the regular season...defense win championships. I didn't realize this was a debate. I guess I missed that one somewhere

I agree we have no flow or purpose at all, on either end. We are beating ourselves worse than a teenager with a VS catalog.... Study

Davon Marshall shot lights in tournament, LU's free throw percentage was unbelievable in tourney, their turn overs was down in tourney, check the box scores.... And they rebounded like men in the tourney.

Is it too hasty to fire your coach midseason? If we lose by 30 plus at home to a Big South school wouldn't you at least think about it? Again, I know Dale is a GREAT guy but he has had 5 years and last year was a fluke. Everyone here knows it.

Neither offense or defense matter when you have no effort. We were vacant on all 3

OK, it is quite obvious to this outside observer that the team has quit on Layer. Layer is a good person and coach, but a change is needed. I was happy with our effort, especially on the defensive end.

Also, yet again, y'all are blessed to have a voice of reason like SCAR representing your school. Class act all the way. Now as for the sweet cute sideline reporter, she is lucky Layer didn't go Bobby Knight on her with the, let's say, 'weak' line of questioning at halftime.

Your a moron PH, LU's offense couldn't score with New Orleans whore.

Again just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true. I've shown time and again that your original post about not being able to win games scoring in the 60's is false. But you just keep on keeping on if you want to. We will all just sit back and laugh at you like the kid who holds his breath until he gets his way

And time and time again I have proven you wrong..... LU last in scoring offense what place they in???

I'm not saying be a traffic cop and stand there on defense, I'm saying you put an emphasis on offense and that energizes the players, the crowd and it puts pressure on the other team to stop it!!!

GW's defense was good tonight. Outside of Strange they have hops and length. Hibbert at 6'5" took JCS out of the game early. We had very few good looks at the basket and therefore had to attack the hoop which led to all kind of TOs. They made some of the guys do things they're really not talented enough to do - Layer sees this as selfishness, I just see this as forcing the issue and not playing within your abilities, hence 18 TOs. When you take your man 1 on 1 and either get called for a walk and/or a charge then it tells me either great D or poor O/decision making. Just a few thoughts and observations.
