I have to say this early, just in case I forget :ph43r:
PASSING ON THIS TEAM SUCKS!

Really, its time now to have a class, maybe a whole week on how NOT to pass a basketball in triple coverage over the top, thinking the other team can't jump more than 2 inches.

Jeesh.

I guess I should have, but I didn't realize HBU was without Ibarra. That being the case we really should beat them even on the road, but we look pretty rough so far.

These has been a FUGLY FUGLY half. Neither team can make ft's or layups. Ball is flying everywhere. Its more throwing than shooting. Looks like a freshman HS game to me.

This is definitely one we should win. But we look flat, unconcerned and just like we want to be celebrating NYRS EVE somewhere else.

hopefully coach can adjust and we can take over

Best 30 bucks I've spent in decades. Got my money's worth just last year for the tournament games and never looked back.

Same here. Worth it just on UNO games. Beats streaming on phone/tablet or computer any day.

I wish we had someone who could shoot the zone out. We have NO outside shot whatsoever.

I'm not sure what I'm watching tonite.....between whistles and really ugly play but its not resembling basketball as I know it. This is an awful game that I hope we can pull out.

We've really played mostly like hot garbage. Couple of solid stretches around a lot of bad basketball. We might eke it out, don't know, but we've done a terrible job taking advantage of getting to play HBU without their big inside presence. Giving up our usual number of open threes, but not stopping a lot of penetration either. We look a step slow.

IF we could just guard the 3 we might have a chance but their little guy OWNS us.

Between passing and defending 3's, its THE big things that NONE of Sless's teams have ever been able to do well.

The last 2 games, Zeno has looked like a hot mess. He seems overweight and slow to me. But I"m a fat slob so, what do I have to compare him to?

UNO defended the three pretty well last season, one of the reasons that team was good, but it was unusual. What's worse today is that we have to listen to HBU's announcer squeal like a little girl every time they drain one. Could we tighten up a little on the perimeter just to save our ears? C'mon guys.

Bottom line, 2-0 in conference and we get a Road Win against a D1 opponent. Be Happy!

UNO wins 64-57. Regardless of the circumstances, I'll take it!

Yeah, that was ugly, 41 turnovers in all -- 21 for them and 20 for UNO. HBU shot 8-for-18 from the free throw line. That was huge for us -- felt like an HBU turnover every time we sent them to the line.

Yep, bottom line is a win. We may not be where we were last year but if you're facing a 4-10 team without its best guy you have to find a way, and the Privateers did. Another nice game from Scott Plaisance, have to say I think he's been a little better than I was expecting.

Pulled it out but sorry, not much to be happy about OTHER than the win (which IS the only thing that matters). But coach needs to rein in his players who get techs because they can't control their tempers. Travin has a HISTORY of this and I noticed on Thurs that Makur is starting to be a little more aggravated and taking it out on other players. The refs won't let that go. 3 players on one team getting a tech in one game is NOT something to be happy about. And its not usual for a coach sless team.

But we beat a bad team that we should have, D1 or otherwise (but I won't argue that point). Its almost as frustrating watching UNO as the pelicans. Neither team handles many of the fundamentals all that well. At least we shot the Ft better than HBU tonite, because they SUCKED at the line. I was happy to see another team look that bad.

Can we carry this to wed night against Tic and his team? At least we'll be home.
