Sounds reasonable, but doubt it will be accepted.
No you didn't. Freeman actually hit 2 low post drives against St . John's that extended our lead until Corey uncharacteristically went 1-6 from the foul line to ice the game. Are u blaming Freeman for that or for the 16 point lead we surged to. ?
Do you think before you type? Did you just say Wake had a fluke win over Indiana, the same Indiana that is in first place in the Big 10? Did Indiana's talent change? Do you ever consider when a team plays another team? A team that starts out playing well, especially a young team, could be pretty good because they are playing with confidence. Wake was a good team when we played them and our game was the game right after they beat Indiana in Maui. They came in confident and played well and RU was still leading for parts of that game . They then won some more games after us. Then the brutal ACC conference schedule started and they lost some close games, started losing their confidence and have gone on their losing streak. You now judge Wake by their present
Hey Willis, did they just beat Ucla and Indiana or not? Do you even know how hard the ACC is this year? Or are u just like the other clueless posters? Has Danny Manning recruited well? Is he a good coach? Did he have enough years as a college assistant before he got his chance? Wake up!!
Yeah and Nebraska sucks too, right Bac? Your opinion is like a piece of toilet paper!!
Are Maryland and Michgan State not good teams either? Teams that Nebraska beat and lost to on a last possession. Things are not always black and white. This year more than ever there is a lot of gray. Some nights teams look like world beaters and the next night they lose. Do you think Ru played well in the Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois games at home and for a half at Michigan, at Ohio state and at Nebraska? Answer those simple questions so we and rest of this board can see what exactly is your true agenda !!!
Hey the issues this year are the injuries and Eddie when he gets his full roster has to change his entire defensive philosophy . Eddie played great defense at the highest level but he has not demanded his guards putt pressure on the other point guard so the opponent cannot get into their sets easily, not demanded his guards go over instead of under the screens that have led to open 3's, not defended the pick and roll properly , or switched into a height mismatch ..I believe part of the problem with some of that are the injuries but part is Eddie thinking his offense can out score the other team. He has been wrong. The other teams have more and better 3 point shooters and close games get away from him. I fully expect with a full healthy squad back and no transfers, he will change his defensive philosophy. If he doesn't he will not win and he will be gone. I think Eddie wants to win dearly here at his alma mater!!
He's been coaching for 30 years. He will not change his philosophy. Need a defensive minded coach to do that
Wrong. Tom Crean did it mid season. Why do you think they went on that winning streak. Did they clamp down on Jok against Iowa and pull the game out ?
He coached in the NBA genius !! Did the Jason Kidd led Nets running his offense for Byron Scott defend? Since he has been back to college he wrongly decided that his offense will out score teams like the NBA. He has been wrong. He has to change but this roster doesn't allow a lot of those defensive tenets . Next year he has to or else despite the offense being better if the defense does not improve he will continue to lose and will be gone

Read it. Sixers a horrendous team forever and were 9-14 the year before with Cheeks. Stefanski admits he has done a lousy job as the Gm giving Eddie the proper pieces. He blames himself. He says they cannot run Eddie's Princeton offense because of the changes with the players. He blames Eddie for the lack of 3 point shooting defense. The Sixers sucked as a team and you are right Eddie didn't make them better. So?
Wait another guy that cannot read. Go back and read the whole article. Remember when you are reading it they are discussing the NBA. With the exception of the Riley Knicks, the Bad Boy Pistons, and Thidobeau Bulls, in the last 25 plus years , the NBA is an offensive superstar league. The NCAA not so much
Yay, hard to do it with 6'2 guys guarding 6'9 kids. Hard to chase and play tight defense with 7 guys. You lose your legs. Have you ever played? Or you just post shit?
Answer the question Bac. Let's hear your great knowledge of the game so we don't have to hear your agenda over and over. I directed questions to you just above about how Ru played . Why don't you answer the questions so all the posters or guys that just view but don't post can see where you are coming from?
Wow a response.So you say Ru played with a pulse and actually competed! So is that not improvement despite the depleted roster? Posters or Ru supporters want to see some improvement that we haven't given up and play better until the depth and height disadvantages and running out of gas takes over. We have done that but unfortunately have not won !! A full roster next year can turn those games that were lost into wins!! I am a positive poster and you are a negative one. Different prospectives but acknowledge there has been improvements.
The article says nothing that you write. It says they are last in 3 point defense. Seems like Eddie has terrible luck in this area. Just seems to follow him around. Good luck on that change in philosophy.
