You’re 100% right. For some reason, I’m the idiot who still does get upset because of just how maddening it is to see a talented team hand over four or five clear wins to the opponent. Yesterday was the final straw in that regard for me. A literal brand new team of rejects from places like Hartford, Holy Cross, Morgan State and St. Peter’s assembled a few months ago from scratch kicked our ass. There are no words left to describe this for me. I hope vcu kills us by 50.
Such a typical EL post. Every team we play sucks, and all their players suck, right? Then, if they beat us, instead of maybe saying you were wrong about them and they are pretty good, you conveniently attack our coach and team again because of course, EL could never be wrong about anything, right?
So, Banks is a reject? Yep, he only scored 27 points in a tournament win over Kentucky and helped St Peter's get to an Elite 8. And, this year he has games of 34 (7-11 from 3), 31 (6-12 from 3), and 27 (6-11 from 3), the last 2 against A-10 teams. Yep, what a reject he is.
Why is Luc a reject? He scored 16 against Notre Dame this year, 22 against Middle Tenn, 20 against Rhode Island. Some reject.
Venning? 14 and 11 with 2 blocks against Notre Dame, 23 on 10-12 shooting against St. Louis. Oh yes, I forgot, he "only" shoots 54% from the field, so he sucks, right?
Flowers? Averaged double digits each of his 3 years at Hartford. He can shoot the 3 and looks like he will be a good scorer for them. Far from a reject.
Bottom line is St Bona lost all their guys, and obviously had playing time to offer these guys. Schmidt did a real good job filling the roster with talented, yes talented, guys. You act like they will go 3-15 in the A-10 this year. They are a good team and will be a very tough out, especially at home. The game was pretty much a pick em game, yet, you once again say we should win. You pretty much think we should win every game, as if the other team never has coaches or talented players. Believe it or not, EL, the other team tries to win too. Then, after downplaying the other team leading up to the game, if we lose, it's never because the other team might be good, it is because our coach stinks. You even said yesterday that we should have beaten Clemson, who just beat Duke yesterday and is now 7-0 in the ACC. But, of course, in EL's world, we have more talent than Clemson and we lost because of coaching.
As for hoping we lose to VCU by 50......why watch? Just go away if this is what you want. We are tied for 4th in a 15 team conference right now, with both losses on the road, and this is what we get from you? Typical, but wow, some "fan" you are.
