Loyola Chicago Ramblers

This team is so extremely frustrating. We see how good they could be buy they don't played like an experienced team and Mooney's bad coaching is coming back. How does he let Grant continue to play when he is so sloppy. How does he not call a TO to stop a run? Same story every game.

Nobody realizes that the shot clock is switching to tenths rather than improperly resetting?

we deserve to lose to burst these guys bubble. Three straight games with at least one horrible half!
 
Press was so effective in first half, wonder why we strayed away from it in second.
Great point. the other thing it did was take 8-9 seconds off even when it didnt get a TO and that left them less time to run their offense
 
another 46 point half against us already!!! three straight with that. Really hard to win with that!!!

just atrocious for a veteran team. that's probably not a foul on Gilly, but you cant even be in a spot where he can call that!

Its a win, but we have issues. We aren't a good team right now. Can't be just awful for half of every game! And these last two are a nasty trend. The coach needs to figure out a way to stop these runs. For a tough(???) veteran team, we sure go south as soon as the tide goes against us!
 
The second half coaching in this game, which we have seen for a decade and a half, is why Mooney has so many detractors.

Hey, we won. I'm pleased, but not happy with second half. Who could be except Loyola Chicago fans?

A win is a win. We were not going to beat them by 22, so just look at it like we were fortunate to build a huge lead.. We needed every bit of it. Should have won by 10 but it's a W either way.
 
The thing that annoys me more than anything is the whole timeout thing. Still. I have no idea why he refuses to call timeout during these runs. Hell call 'em all!! But he always has enough timeouts to call one after we score a bucket with like 5 minutes to go - - - mostly for no apparent reason. Your team is prone to these runs. We all see it. Change up something!! But he coaches the same way game after game. It took all those years to change the defense. Need him to handle timeouts differently now!

And I am getting more and more annoyed with Grant day by day. He lacks intensity. Plain and simple. But its infecting the team. And for those of you doubting on Blake - - please understand that he is trying to drag us along intensity wise! But GG is making it tougher!!
 
Need to play a good 2nd half now. No repeat of Vandy!!
Message not received, please try again.

Same ole CM coached game. Have no idea why he refuses to use timeouts to stop runs. That said, this team needs to keep their intensity.

Exactly B and Wilk. The good news is they are still playing non-conference games. They sure don’t look like an A-10 autobid at this point. The good news is basically the same team looked so much better at the end of last season. Hope they get back to playing basketball games versus halves.
 
which run would have been magically stopped with a timeout?

not much to be happy about the 2nd half, but it's a W.
ITs not magic. Its adjustments you make, rallying your team's intensity, explaining to them what the other team is now doing differently and what to do to stop it. You know . . . coaching . . . not magic!

Agree. Plus his whiney bitching about every call against him isn't helpful either.
