Jeseph Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 TV: ESPN+ Radio: TuneIn Live Stats: UBBulls.com I know that OOC "doesn't matter" or whatever because we're not getting at at-large but I'm going to call this a must win. Reggie and co. are going to come in motivated, we can not drop another rough game at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to demonstrate that they have what it takes to be competitive to win the MAC. If they are faced with a challenge in this game, I will look for what you have called for, someone to step up and lead. I also feel that coach Whitesell, needs to be a motivator in addition to a 'teacher'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to @Kevin about the overall team dynamic - it's far too early to say this squad is selfish but what seems to be missing is a drive to "win for each other", a killer instinct to do whatever is needed late because losing hurts. N.O. squads had this. Losing sucked and there was no other way to look at it. Does this team feel the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank, after a game like the Army game, the team should be extremely motivated, angry even, that they play so hard that a win over Canisius is never in doubt. I don't know if that is in the make up of this current team, we shall see. This is the second loss this season, I put blame on Whitesell. I am not making a judgment as to whether he is a good coach, but he needs to do more to motivate his team when they are faced with adversity.

The crazy thing is that outside of a few players, everyone on this team was here last year. They should know the culture. Yet certain guys were playing with this me first attitude. It needs to change ASAP. Sharing the ball and communicating on defense need to improve. And certain guys need to stop chucking up shots for stats. They aren’t James Harden and don’t or won’t have any pro ball future playing this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB85 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 You can succeed to a certain extent as a team with selfish players, see 2014-15 with Evans. He and Moss would argue before games who between them would score the most points. But if you truly want to reach your fullest potential as a team, it must be with a team like last year where everyone is in it for each other, from defense, offense and transition with everyone making the extra pass and taking charges and never giving anything less than 100% effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do agree. The players and coaches from the last few years were in the right place and at the right time and as saying goes it was the perfect storm. Just the right combination of players of Caruthers, CJ, Perkins and Harris along with others. Hope to see improvement in the upcoming games. Go Bulls!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBCourtside Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Did my preview for the website last night. Mballa has a nice matchup against a lanky 6’10’’ freshman who isn’t very fleet of foot. Good bounce back spot for Graves as well with his matchup. Jordan vs Malik Johnson should be fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies, I did not mean any disrespect or to insult you. I was not old enough to recall details as this happened, but I am old enough to know the story, and saw replays of it many times. My earliest memory as a Knick fan would be 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than following how RJ/Frank/Robinson are doing, they are unwatchable most of the time unfortunately. UB has been basically the only basketball I watch these days. Horns up.

Kevin Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The team is 1-2 at home against D1 opponents If they lose back to back to go to 1-3, i'm not sure what to say.
