[Oskee] THESE DOUBLE DIGIT LOSSES SUCK

[gtillini95 at aol.com]

At 18-5 with some big home games remaining, there's still a good opportunity to build momentum heading into March.? As last year's BTT reminded us, the identity of a team and the optimism of its fan base can change drastically in as little as four days.

However, the losses at Minnesota and Wisconsin are a blunt reminder of how important it is to have good guards in this system.? As hard as they play, and as dedicated as they've been to the team, Chester and Trent are not championship caliber guards and I'm beginning to have serious concerns about Alex and D-Mac.

Is anyone else?getting?a Shawn Pruitt vibe from McCamey?? 

I actually think we have a pretty good shot at beating Purdue, especially with Robbie Hummel not at full strength, and maybe not even in action.

Either way, my main two wishes are:

1) Get back on defense... because right now, we've got a bunch of lollygagers.

2) I'd like for Demetri to quit looking up a the scoreboard... or video board... or whatever he's constantly looking at.? If he hits a big shot or makes a great pass or something like that, I'd like for him to wave his arms to Krush or chest bump his teammates or sprint to the bench where the rest of the team?is running out ot greet him because something on the floor caused the Boilers to call a T.O.? 

D-Mac, quit looking at the scoreboard.

OWW!

Geoff

I hope we are just in a slump -- Sunday will tell. I don't expect us
to win Sunday, but will be ecstatic if we do. We shore as hell better
play a lot better game than we have the last three.
