And we are ahead in almost every statistical category except points made.

Everyone is hitting me with negatives, but are y'all watching this game? We got beat by 3's. yes, that needs to improve, but we are playing a much more complete game... probably won't pull this one

You've got to get those put backs attempts to fall. Three to four chances on the put back and come up empty. Seems I've seen it a lot this year. There is no shame in using the backboard. That's why it's there.

I can't remember watching even a high school team that has been this bad at jump shots over a stretch of games this long. Do we have anyone who can shoot a jump shot?

NO and there are too many goals on campus for not one of these guys to be able to shoot! No one who will drive to the basket either, post game has been disappointing as well. If we had someone who could even catch the ball on the block would help tremendously with ball movement. We also need someone to step up and lead by example, Franklin is trying (love the effort) but uh,,,,?!? Screw it put all of em on the line JJ, we look out of shape too! :gym:

We had a decent showing tonight, I think we had about 35 people there (the Walton clan was about 15) in my estimation. We were pretty vocal too...I hope you could hear us.

Honestly, I think we played well? Columbia shot lights out...those kids couldn't miss. As much as it looks like they were defensive breakdowns on video, I assure you sitting in the 3rd row, we were playing our asses off on D.

Our biggest problem was we couldn't score a freaking bucket from 6 feet in. That was brutal...must have missed twelve or more.

The point where I knew the game was lost was around five minutes to go...we were down 7, had a fast break, and the pass went off our hands as we were going in for a layup.

Brutal.

The football team is pretty good. You should check them out sometime.

I did...I flew in to Texas for Homecoming. WTF, I live in Los Angeles...I finally get my team to visit and I get bitched at?

I can't you bball fans any smack without the overreaction? How many times have those on the football board seen the exact same thing posted about basketball. Just trying to give some of it back.

Call me when your team wins a D1 game...

Hate to break it to ya, but it's YOUR team too!

"You guys can always come to the basketball forum if you need some relief" "Only 2 months until basketball starts" "Too bad no one ever comes to the Pit to see what is going on with basketball"

Just trying to give some of it back.

Perhaps it was because your post directly followed my breakdown of the night.

BUT, I don't see much of the basketball team either considering I live in Los Angeles. Not easy for me to check out much of anything. :P

You just aren't trying hard enough I guess!

I have never called out anyone who lives out of state? I haven't even called out all the NT alums I know that live in LA for not coming tonight to our game. In fact, I don't think I participate in bitching about lack of attendance much at all. I know I have on occasion (so don't look through archives), but it's not something I like to do because I don't know their life story.

Do I need to put a smiley face when I am teasing, kidding, or being sarcastic?

I guess I feel like you should mess with people who deserve it, not with those that don't. :P

CMJ and Cooley are the resident hoops gurus, so all I can give is my eyewitness but amateur perspective on the game. But CMJ hit it on the head, though I would add that the offensive game lacked a lot in discpline and concentration. Columbia was the embodiement of the cliche about Ivy League basketball. Not very quick or athletic (save for their number 10; he's their Jose Barea and gave our defense fits), but they had intense fundamentals and concentration. They hit about everything they threw up (at half, it was 80% for 3s) and never got rattled. But our guys were so much quicker and more physical. They pressed the inbounds, trapped the ball, and as CMJ also said, contested most of the 3 attempts. But offensively there were a lot of mishandled passes, missed put-backs, and indecisive shot selections to keep up with Columbia tonight. I hope it's just a case of young guys still adjusting to each other and it will improve (which it should).

And though it also sounds like a cliche, one particular ref was a total A-hole tonight.

I'd like to call out Tasty for skipping the football game. That dirtbag gave up his football season tickets to spend money on airline tickets and game tickets to the LMU tournament just to go watch the UNT basketball team.

We will never be big time as long as we have fans like him.

I've missed 3 or 4 football games for basketball road trips.

This is the only time I've ever had cause to regret it. Sounds like I missed quite a football game.

Any time we lose, no matter by how much, the refs are never to be blamed on this board. I'm sure someone will come on here soon to tell you how much of a basketball idiot you are, but it won't be me.

Call it how you see it.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
