Awesome...now I can go do something productive.....

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

You would think if we netted 69 we might have won. There goes the minimal improvement on D, I guess.

 

[Haxormax]

hey 5 minutes to go and we're up 2 points? why f**king bother?! let's call it a win, boys!

 

[patriot2000]

Thanks a lot, Tom

 

[PoorManProfit]

Strong effort by Jenkins...

 

[JimP]

Are you seriously questioning a strategic decision by Hewitt?

Not me! Guy knows what he's doing.

Thought GMU played pretty well tonight, but I fail to understand why Hewitt didn't have the team honing in on ODU's three point shooters. We ain't winning at UNI. Next win - D2 Catawba. The Hewitt countdown is on. What's he got - about 23 more games at GMU?

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Positives:

Arledge sucked, and I nailed down 120 on ODU -3...

 

[gmu2006]

Way to crap the bed in the last few minutes. I love crapping the bed. Let's all crap the bed. crap crap crap.

Man - I knew that was a winner.

Our marginal improvement on D never included guarding shooters on the perimeter, especially ones that are red hot.

Also 1-6 and 4-14 from Jenkins and Holloway respectively -- it's called share the ball when you are game-planned against fellas.

 

[KAOriginal]

I hear that we are officially back on the "will take guarantee games" list.

 

[hoops10]

I guess the word defense is not in their vocabulary. Crap, how many three's did ODU hit, 12?? If Hewiitt isn't among the worst coaches in basketball then I don't know who is. Once again, helter skelter, no set picks, no boxing out.

Maybe PH has figured out that Marco is a dud. Why has it taken so long?

At least Marquis Moorse showed some spunk. Jenkins back to being lost again. What's with this kid.

 

[mason2k1]

Maybe Tom should've left early.

 

[gmujim92]

Guys are playing hard, if not particularly smart.

One would think after a while, we would've adjusted and realized that ODU was willing to settle for 3s, and started running them off the line.

Nah, we'd never do something like that.

I'd add that Moore played a great offensive game and that it was nice to see VG reach double figures. Other than that, I've got nothing.

 

[Patriotfan49]

Lol Arledge was pressing so hard to have a good game...he was trash.

Couple good performances from Moore and Grey and some good play by Porter and Thompson. But Holloway was a major liability on offense tonight, he was as always chucking up ill advised shots and was out of control and turning it over. Also as usual, when the team needed a coach and a good drawn up play..........there was a disaster.

 

[gmujim92]

This is spot on, 49.

We've been in our last 3 games with a realistic chance to win in the last 3 minutes.

That's the time a coach really earns his money. But if not for a lucky-a** 75-foot heave, we'd be 0-3 in those games.

Terrible. Just terrible.

 

[KAOriginal]

So have we all reached the "it's the coaching" point....or are we still debating the players being at fault?

 

[Vurbel]

TBut if not for a lucky-a** 75-foot heave, we'd be 0-3 in those games.

Is there another kind of 75 foot heave?
