Panthers defense this year is awful.
My argument here is that he has enough size to where he should be taking a better percentage shot. I realize he can shoot the three, but not ONCE has he shown me a good inside presence, which is obviously something the team needs.Quote:

Right, but when you're open for the three and you can shoot it, you take it.Quote:

Yes, this is turning into an embarassing disaster.Quote:

I know fouls aren't necessarily good but I like that Panoske fouled - he's gotta get assertive.
Hey, a team that sucks as much as we do at free throws!
As bad as it sounds, if the Panthers can pull this one out, it might be a huge boost for this team.
Good lord.Two straight turnovers.
I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot of press/traps all year....
What did I say were the keys to the game? Not letting them get offensive rebounds, not watching Jay O, and not turning it over with sloppy play. Well, 1 out of 3 ain't bad. Just kidding. It is bad. Real bad.
You're absolutely right here. They'll see it until they prove they can easily beat it.Quote:

This is awful. Abso-*******-lutely awful.
This team sucks right now. No doubt about it.
Probably the worst of all the games thus far.
This is getting really bad...
Rider has 17 points off turnovers. If they had 0, their lead would be 1.
We're almost at that point where you have to wonder if it's better to just let it go and play the end of the bench.
"Rider guys are just too athletic for Milwaukee to handle." - Kevin O'Connor.
That's a clear failure of recruiting.
I just feel bad for Davidson. We are single-handedly tearing up their at-large abilities.
I have been reserving judgement on this team thus far this year seeing as there is a lot of basketball yet to be played. But after this road trip I'm very concerned about the prospects of this basketball team this year.
Kevin O'Connor is starting to really get good on color. Giving us exactly why Rider is better.
Chalk up another loss for this very awful basketball team.
Completely different team at home than on the road. Completely different.
LMAO, very true.Quote:

He really is getting good at color. You can tell he's just as disgusted as we are.
At some point, the non-conference season has to become "important."
This wasn't a vacation and it was treated as such. Riding ATV's and snorkeling, I wonder what else they did.
3-14 shooting in the second half.
The Panthers CUT IT to 17. #Ugh
Hey JJ Panoske, way to be the one who wakes up and does something.
74-60 final. Ugh. Was 14, should have been 24.
0-4 in the Hoops for Hope Classic...just dandy.
Chad Boudreau is up!
Quotes from Boudreau:
"Defensively we were just awful."
"This was disappointing and embarrassing."
"Even when we got it in the half court, they kept the pressure up."
"Jordan was just out of gas."
"Thierno made some awful decisions."
"Pick us up in full court and pressure us...that's the recipe to beat us."
"It was good to see Evan get going offensively...but defensively he needs to get going."
"No one played well. Defensively no one was good. I've got to credit Rider because they're very good, but we played badly."
only 1 point off on riders point total
How did this team beat Davidson? Is the there a team leader that will stand up and say this is B.S.! We are better than this!
I just want to go on record by saying I owe JJ Panoske an apology. My comment yesterday was wrong-headed.
Is there game tape on the Mexico games available yet? Like full game tape? And if not will there ever be tape available to us? I really want to see these two games. I mean i don't know what I am hoping for but maybe its that there will be some intangibles from these games that we missed from only hearing it that will be a "brightside" if you will. Because from listening to the games there was little "brightside" to be found.
