Obviously none of us are happy where we are at 4-2. No one expected to lose at VMI and no one is surprised we lost at ET. Since the Alabama game we are barely .500 at 4-3. One third of the way thru the conference season and we sit in 4th place. Not good. Let’s face it we have not played well in a month. In spurts, yes but nowhere close to good game. Face it we could have lost all of our conference games, they have been that close. We are not impressing anyone. Sorry but our bench is no help. Today in 35 minutes they contributed 4 points and 3 rebounds. 4 of those points and 2 rebounds came in tbe last minute. So the first 34 minutes of play the bench had a total of one rebound contributed. In the first half after we clawed back to 20-19 we quickly get outscored 8-0 with subs in. In the second half up 40-37 we quickly get outscored again 8-0 with subs in but this time it only took 30 seconds. I’m in no way blaming the bench just pointing out whats happen8ng over and over. The starters have more of the blame for sure. The third game in a row we have had a starter as a no show. Not saying every starter has to play great but do have to contribute something. If this keeps happening its going to be a bad year. If you haven’t noticed the season is slowly going down the toilet. Its time to put up or shut up. No more room for error. At current rate we would finish 12-6 and that seems very optimistic. I do not know what CBR should do. I know he needs to play the bench but can he afford to keep losing points everytime he puts 2-3 in? Just the couple of examples above cost the team 16 points in about 3 minutes. The other 37 minutes FU was plus 7. We have 12 games left and I think the best we finish is 8-4 which would leave us 12-6 and prolly 4th place. WC is in the drivers seat. I don’t see them losing more than 2 the rest of the way. Don’t think ETSU is that good and could see uncg finishing second.
Anyway hope this entire team can get it together, starters, bench and coaches. This has been going on for a month and its tme for it to stop. Its not too late but its certainly in the urgent category. Right now, the best word I can come up with to describe this season is disappointing. This team needs to start having some fun like it used to.
