Up Next: Drake

Re: Up Next: Drake

MAKE A FREAKING LAYUP!!!! He has done this all year and now it comes to bite us in the ass. To come all the way back and to lose the game like that is fitting for this team. Another big choke job. Can't make the basket when it counts.

Re: Up Next: Drake

I think Deon thought he was going to get bumped.

The crazy thing is that we still have the inside track to the 3 seed. Get the next two home games and we'll get it.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Can we take a look at things here really quick, there has been a lot of Deon bashing, I am guilty of it too, and yes he missed a point blank shot, and made some bone head plays, but without him in the last 6 minutes we don't have any chance to get back into it.

Tut is our best player, but Deon is our most important player.

It's not quite as easy to make that layup as you are all making it sound, you know.

Other teams have seemed to figure it out.

That's not a shot a Deon. There have been plenty of missed layups / bunnies in the past couple years.

This team is no fun.

We were above the fray for three days, lost to another last place team, now back in the battle to avoid Thursday. We just aren't that good. There just isn't anything special about this team. Were ok, but not good. Not terrible either. Just mediocre. Not much fun to root for. A terrible team at least allows you to mentally check out.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Are you referring to Duke? There are a lot of schools like this

Uh...Duke has an enrollment of 14,000. It is also one of the most prestigious schools in the country.

If a guy that is that soft in the post is our best player, no wonder we stink.

Finally a post that has some common sense. Unfortunately, this board isn't going to remember anything about his play except for the shot that didn't go in.

Re: Up Next: Drake

I thought Deon got fouled on the layup before and thought it was going to happen again.

Tuttle literally got thrown by Enevold and should have gotten a 1 and 1...

Re: Up Next: Drake

I'm glad I at least got to yell and be loud for my Panthers besides the opening bucket. Unbelievable that we made that a game. I guess we know what to do next time. Es sure Drake and make them work down the clock and they are very beatable. Allow them to look for their own shots and have space and their dangerous.

Too bad Deons layup didn't go down but that game was lost long before that play (and you could tack some blame on him as well). Awful luck on our shots, but again the lack of defense is what was concerning. We allowed some really poor players on their team to look like All-Conference players. Daniels and Carter are strong players and I like Hawley but outside of that they are really up impressive on their own and it's really disappointing that we let them beat us. Drake shot lights out, partially due to our bad movement on screens, but they got some of those 50/50 shots to go and ours all popped out.

I'm just glad we didn't roll over and allow them to spank us. Good to see that we are capable of digging ourselves out of large leads. Or at least more capable than hanging onto them.

Tuttle had a pretty good stat line tonight, but VanDeest got the best of him. He was too physical. Seth has the advantage in terms of quickness, but he hurried every post move.

The biggest concern in my eyes is that we can't rebound. I don't care how good our defense is, if you can't clean up a miss and have to play another 20+ seconds of defense, you are eventually going to breakdown. Marvin, Chip & Buss played 47 combined minutes tonight and had a combined 3 rebounds. Deon and Wes combined for 7 rebounds in 51 minutes despite being the smallest guys on the floor.
