Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

Was it Purdue that handed it to us like this last year?

Purdue was 33 pt loss,MTSU started out 0-19 run for them....do we need these games occuring every year?Just frustrated.

JackMD is there...he's not one to mince words. I wonder if he'll find an internet signal and give a report.

The major difference was that Purdue was a fairly highly regarded team,plus it was on their home floor.

Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

Post game with AJ:
"Yeah, 4 points at halftime, that's a hole" (responding to JJ's comment that Sunnarborg said we just dug ourselves into a hole).
Thought our team just laid an egg, particularly our first group out there. Cincinnati not as tough as some of prior opponents (WSU)
We held them to 55 but you can't win games the way we played offensively.
Second group had no trouble beating the press, getting a look...

Editorial comment: AJ was trying to find some positives.

For tomorrow: Marist plays more like Oakland in our league: post players that shoot, shoot 3 well, pack defense. It's a style we're a little more familiar with. In the locker told them don't let this bad, terrible loss turn into two. We have to bounce back, need our top players back playing like top players.

I agree with all that, but it'd be nice if they played with a chip on their shoulder(dominating the boards and playing extremely hard,but under control on offense,smart), and completely destroy Marist,but I'll be happy, i suppose, if they can win, even by one point.

I agree and what other way to pick ourselves off the floor:

Its Honey Badger time.

Holy smoke.

Couldn't believe it when I jumped on here to read through the game thread.

That game deserves a big ole norwegian UFFDA.

Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

this was like the third lowest point total for the Jacks since they started basketball in the late sixties

WEll I guess the good news is there really is no where to go but up. would be hard to repeat a performance like that again.

I think this team is lacking that go to player/game changer like we have had before. A Vogel or Warkenthin. A bunch of role players with no true PG could make for a long season if they dont correct the problems. Good news is the talent should be there that we should get better as the year goes on.

Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

I'm sure the ladies are totally embarrassed.

I would certainly hope so. That's brutal...like an effort the men would have turned in a couple of years back. I think the men shot 17 percent for a game once. It might have been just last year. You should hit 25 percent by accident. Stunningly bad and just plain stunning.

Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

No doubt it was an all around bad night for the Jacks. But, it does only count as one loss. If a game like this starts a downward spiral, which it could, then it could create a hole tough to get out of. A bounce back win today against a very good Marist team will help smooth the edges from the Cincy game (a bit). Either way it is still very early in the season. Need to be at our best later in the season.

I hope they are p$ssed off and come out hotter than heck tonight.

Re: Cancun Challenge 2011

AJ tweeted it was a rough game for the team and its on them to get better
