    Bad shooting happens to every team from time to time. The problem is it seems like it happens to UB way too often. I’m not even sure if you can blame coaching on that, especially if they’re running plays and getting open shots. Have no clue why this happens so often with us

    Completely agree, can’t blame coaching if missing open shots. I think in jeenathan case, sometimes he gets too much in this offensive mode where he has to shoot even if it’s a bad shot. Needs to understand the defense is playing for that and set someone else up.

    How can Whitesell be blamed for this game? The team disappeared in the second half. Wouldn’t the blame by your logic fall on Thorpe? Who was on the sidelines. We dominated the first half after a rusty start. Look at the stats…everything went Miami’s way in the second half. It was a lack of effort on the court. Hustle, will to play defense. Execution of shooting FTs. Which I’m sure they practice. I’m not Whitesell’s biggest supporter….but let’s just call it how it is…the players sucked in that 2nd half. 

    Agree the players stunk and they lost the game. But Whitesell does take blame because he lost what Hurley and Oats built the last 6 plus years!! This team has no hustle, no grit, no one takes charges anymore, and we are back to playing half court basketball and no defense. Guys don’t get back on defense and are soft in the post on defense, and the other teams know it. The lack of depth is also insane not one player has shown any real promise to be the next guy, hope that changes but so far a lot of nada coming off the bench besides Fagan who gives some solid minutes.

    Barring a spate of injuries, or Covid throwing a curveball, there is a very good possibility that the Bulls overall record will be 13-4 against DI competition and 8-0 in the MAC heading into the game in Toledo. Five of the games in that stretch are against teams that are way down in the rankings: the 3 Michigans, N Illinois, and Ball St. The other games are all at home against UCI, Miami, BG, and Kent. Go Bulls!

    Appreciate the optimism but have you watched the team this year, 8-0 against any competition won’t happen, even the bottom of the MAC. They lack consistent effort, especially from some of the best players on the team. They will find a way to lose atleast one if not a few of those games. I’m trying to be optimistic myself even it’s been difficult to watch this team. Things will have to change if we’re going to win 3 games in a row in mac tourney because right now I’m not sure if this team has the discipline and effort to do so.
