Samford (11/24/15)

[RushnStudies]

Yeah, I believe the saying is "ear chewed off." 

See? The the team's discombobulated play is permeating the Pit.

Squads traded some runs in that segment.

 

[Andrew]

We are soft!

[Greendylan]

Our offense looks absolutely awful right now. 

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

I think I've seen all I need to see. Waiting for "Samford and Idaho are good teams, look at their records" presser comments. 

[MeanGreenDan]

Holy S! Combs almost died....

[RushnStudies]

This is why we can't have nice things!

They are good compared to us apparently. I just want to get out of here with a win. One point win and I don't care. Let's get to northern Iowa 4-1 and hope for luck....

Halftime

 

Bulldogs get a easy two at the end there to really put us in a hole there.

I'm sorry but I refuse to count either of the first two as actual wins.

Turnovers.....

I highly doubt both these teams have had dramatic turn arounds from their losing records last season. Neither one has the resources or pays their head coach even half what we do. There's no excuse for these two to even be close in my opinion. Especially at home.

You should. If we keep playing like this, those'll be the only ones we have for a while.

[Greendylan]

It's early in the season, but so far this looks like it could end up being the worst Benford team yet.  Every time we touch the ball I just cringe and wait for the inevitable turnover.

[RushnStudies]

Dude, even the band is off their game tonight.

[Green P1]

If you think of them as Stanford rather than Samford..... It's not so sucky.

I think someone brought up assist to turnover ratio earlier today...

It really is THE hallmark of the Benford era.

We need to start shooting the ball! We are not going to win if we do not put the ball up more. Scoring is the easiest part of the game and we cannot do it....

Dagnabbit. No free car wash tomorrow.

Things going further south.  At least Combs has hit some free throws.

We need to make the shots we're  putting up.

Benford needs to let Harris loose tonight. He is not perfect but he can score the ball from anywhere. He is 10th in minutes with 13 a game, but second in points with 14 a game. He is his own worst enemy and made some stupid fouls against Idaho, but he can shoot the three incredibly well. He has Chris Davis range. He is shooting 83% from behind the arc. He also only has 1 turnover. Even in limited minutes he is doing well. Let him play more Benford, and don't bench him or Dekie for shooting threes. 

He is 0-fer tonight from behind the arc.

Bonus points to whoever can name an Athletic Director who survived a football and basketball coach firing in the same year.

Wow! That's all we need is another entry in the NCAA "Worst Of" category.
