Re: Belmont

Can anyone compare our performance to the performance of the USD vs Morehead state game that I have put myself through. Terrible, just painful to watch. Yet, I continue to watch.

Re: Belmont

As bad as things were tonight,we need to remember that in a one bid conference they don't award that bid based on how a team is playing in December. Now if the team is still playing like this in Feb.and March we're in deep trouble,but I have seen a lot of teams look completely different from early to late season. If it's true that a team has to hit rock-bottom to turn things around,this certainly looked like rock-bottom.

Re: Belmont

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me a third time well....

This team has serious issues. I await the excuses and ideas that will try to explain away a collapse only explained by one thing, a lack of effort. If you don't play hard all the time you will lose most of the time no matter how much talent you have. Nagy did a crappy job of managing a team that doesn't seem to understand that every game is the most important game of the year.

Some will say "meh" some will use injuries as an excuse I'll not agree. This team is at best the 3rd place team in the Summit and so far from deserving a NCAA bid that it shouldn't even be discussed.

The talent might be there, might. The effort is not even close and I'll take effort over potential every night. Yet again I am disappointed by this team.

I would agree, the season is not lost or over by any means. I think we have run into a school with a little more tradition and was a D2 power house not so many years ago. Belmont used to be called Belmont Abbey, I believe and I dont think we ever ran into them in the D2 days, but they were very good back then and its carried forward.

Nagy kinda called out his upperclassmen for this very thing: lack of effort.

Rationalizing, a mechanism to protect the ego from acknowledging fact. Excuse three.
