See you next time UB goes down in a game for a minute.

Even if we lose, this might be exaggerating a little.

Give me a lineup of Segu-Johnson-Williams-Hardnett-Mballa. Not much shooting but they are playing harder and less careless than the other guys.

That lead disappeared quickly

Jordan with another 2 straight turnovers.

Not sure how good the crowd is tonight from watching on my computer, but I can definitely hear the shrieking girl!

Our FT shooting is still horrible.

Williams is having a great game so far.

Mballa is the bright spot. He plays much bigger than 6’7”

No offense taken, that is why I said " I am not saying we are going to be better next year". One of the problems Jeseph presented was "Youth". Naturally the team getting older makes them less youthful.

I don't think anyone has that answer, but the three things you pointed out were youth/new lineup/lack of a leader. Youth - Mballa, Williams, Graves, Segu, Hardnett, Bertram, and Nickelberry are all getting minutes and will be a year older next year. Right now we have 2 seniors who play a lot of minutes and haven't been that great anyway, the third does not get that much PT. Last year we had 5 seniors who all got a good amount of minutes and contributed a lot. New lineup - see my point above. We will be losing 70 MPG, going into next year. We lost 128 MPG going into this year. We also lost our top 3 scorers from last year. Next year we will have 3 of our top 4 returning. Lack of a leader - Segu and Williams have been the only two on the team who stay after the game to keep getting shots up for the past two year. This is a sign of leadership to me. They will be upperclassmen next year and I hope they are able to take the leap into leadership roles. Only time will tell though. Again, I am not saying we are going to be better next year, but here are three solutions to the three problems you presented.

I'm worried, but I still will give him until the end of next year. Unless all of our young talent decides to transfer, then I am out on Whitesell.

I will keep watching for the young guys. I hope Mballa, Williams, Rondo, and Hardnett continue to grow.

Our starting PG had 0 assists and 7 turnovers tonight.

Jordan and Graves have been horrible. They just can't be the 2 top players on a team, they belong in the 3rd and 5th option roles.

This is bad. Somehow we are only down 4 while shooting 27% and they are shooting 62%.

I agree that they don’t have one, and that is a big problem. If I had to choose, and I might sound crazy, but if we needed 3 I would give it to Graves and if we need 1 or 2 I would give it to Williams.

Graves shot 11-21, not sure why he is getting the blame when Jordan shot 4-15.

Very sloppy start. Need Mballa back in there.

Mballa with a double double at half.

What about the amazing IncrediBull pizza???

Big game Friday, let’s get a good crowd and keep the momentum going.

Free throw shooting was the difference. If we shoot like we normally do then we don't win this game.

We have all given Grant a lot of grief this year, but he came up huge at the end of the game.

Such a stupid foul by Jordan.
