Well, we lose by 4 and miss 14 free throws. Our margin for error is minuscule. We cannot miss 14 free throws and win many games in the Southland.

The only thing changing with this team is that it's getting worse each passing game.

Other than one game, FT shooting has sucked royally. Even guards can't hit them (Frye, i'm talking about you). And for the love of all things HOLY, can anyone on this team consistently make layups? Do they practice ft's and layups? EVER? I'm not sure, but I'd likely bet my waste of time tonite, that Frye missed every single layup, at least half of which were unguarded.

But what really frosts me is the boneheaded, Stupid, imbecilic, ridiculous, cavalier and careless decisions with passes, bounce passes and NO CHANCE SHOTS taken by guys who should know better.

YES there are lots of young guys on this team but most have been in this system for 3 years.

There are no more excuses, there is no more time........it's time to face the facts......

THIS. TEAM. SUCKS.

Most of the teams we've played have had a go to guy who has taken over the game at the end and has won it. I don't see such a player at UNO, at least a dependable, consistent player. They all have their moments but just not enough of them. They do play hard though, and hopefully, things will come together eventually. They'll have to play a flawless game to win on Monday night against SFA though.

NO DOUBT, this team plays hard and never quits. The only things I was mumbling to my wife during the game besides, "we suck" was, "these guys never quit".

Yes, the 2 CAN go together. Sadly, it takes more than grit to win. And we have very very little talent.

Talent really makes it so much easier.

Sitting at the game I was struck by the lack of effort on the defensive board. Granted, they were big and talented but that does not mean you should not at least attempt to block out. Too many times we were standing in back of the offensive players giving them uncontested offensive rebounds. I must admit that Houston Baptist is a better team than I thought they were. That being said missing 14 (FOURTEEN) free throws will get you beat against most teams. As far as taking stupid shots I stopped being surprised in the first year of this regime. There seems to be no consequence to taking selfish, acrobatic, inexplicable shots. We once had a coach that preached the value of each possession. This team does not value any possession.
