I think it was a combination of over performing last year, and under performing this year. We should have probably been an NIT team both years. It's a funny thing, that confidence. I think it had a lot to do with our winning streak last year, and the lack of it had a lot to do with our losing streak this year.

This season came down to shooting. We couldn't shoot. It is why our half court offense looked awful at times. White, Shields, Petteway, Tai, and Walt can shoot better, and it would make a huge difference in what our offense looked like. We shot 28 % from 3. That is awful for a Division I program. There are junior high teams that can shoot better. I think it is mental. We shoot an average 33 %, and that is almost 3 points per game extra. Also, we have to figure out how to get to the line. Whether that means we take acting classes, stop complaining, or something, we have to learn to get to the line, consistently.

If Terran and another player leave, I would look for a JC guy and a HS guy. If Terran stays and we have one spot, I would go JC. If Terran is the only one to leave, I would go JC. I think it might be too late in the process to get a solid HS guy that you can count on for 4 or 5 years. Unless the coaches are telling them that if someone leaves, they have a spot open, and the kid is willing to wait, I would pass on HS. As for Hammond, I think a lot is classroom. The baseball team has a player that struggled with academics his first year. He barely pitched. The coaches insinuated that he was focusing on the classroom, and now is a solid starter. Hopefully, Jake turns that around and bulks up in the off season.

If someone leaves, I would look for a healthy Leslie Smith type player.

It would help if we had someone to grab the rebound, and a shooter.

If you only counted the ones they didn't foul on, it would be about 7.

If I'm this game, if someone goes in the lane just tackle the player, they won't call a foul.

They should lose their minds. I'm shocked they're still in the game.

I am not all convinced that a T cost us anything at this point...check out the offensive stats for us vs. Penn St...that is what is causing us grief...just saying. The score was 40 - 35, and when we got the ball back it was 45 - 35, then we have to sit him, and have no other offense.

Why don't we press? It worked too well the first time we played them?

Terran cost us this game with his bonehead tech.

Glass half full attitude.

A disappointing end to a disappointing season.

Well, that sucks.

At least make it where the team has to HAVE the ball.

I thought you have to have the ball to call timeout.

That was HORRIBLE!!!

That was bullshit!!!!

If only we could make 2 foot shots, this game wouldn't be very close.

Not many teams do.

If these refs call a travel on Nebraska, I will go through the TV. They have missed at least 3, obvious to everyone, travels on Maryland.

Melo Tremble, majors in acting.

It would have been a good call if Layman was called for a charge on the other end when they called a block on Leslie.

Not a good call on Terran's third foul.

You have to love these refs. Now, they decide to let them play. How can they adjust if the refs don't even know what a foul is?
