That was a horrible win and horrible coaching... We should have won by 30. There is no reason to rely on the 3 ball when we have a height advantage inside.

Wright State played slow like most Horizon teams do and they shoot the ball very well. The oddsmakers had us favored by 11, so I guess they are not quite as dumb as you are saying we should win by 30. It won't matter, if we win by 30, you'll say we should have won by 40. Enjoy the win for once, you'll get a chance down the road when we lose one again but we are playing pretty good right now.

We had a major height advantage and did not use it. That is all I am saying... If we would have used it we would have won by 30.

If you think we aren'tplaying to our strengths, then you haven't learned much by watching us. Osby and Augustus are not dominating inside players and really Sidney isn't either. He is a power forward who can shoot the ball. My God, give our staff some credit and quit bitching, they are there every day.

Did you really watch the game? Osby, Kodi & SWAT could have man-handled them and gotten them in deep foul trouble in the process.

Yeah definitely no reason to rely on the three ball when you are making 50%. Every body with any basketball knowledge knows it is better to go inside than shoot 50% from three. I mean sure, you would have to make 75% of your two point shots for it to be more effective in reality but who gives a damn. Sure it doesn't make a damn bit of sense but $@%* it, fishwater knows what he is talking about.

We shot 48% from three point range and 63% from 2 point range. Not bad in any game. Wright State shot under 40% from the field and 38% from 3 point range. Osby played well but had 4 turnovers and Kodi had 3 turnovers and shot 1-4 from the field. Yes sir, you know basketball and by the way, your boy you usually ***** to hell and back over, Barry Stewart was 8-11 from the field and 5-7 from three point range. Now, go have a drink and think up some more things to ***** about.

You have to have more than the 3 ball to win in the SEC and the NCAA tourney... Just admit that you have no clue.</p>

Tonight was the perfect chance to work on the inside game and we did not.. We live and die by the 3 ball.</p>

Again, I do not understand what the hell is wrong with "living and dying by the three ball" when we're making almost 43%. Has it been wrong for Duke to live and die by the three ball all these years under Coach K? Seriously, that is not a rhetorical question. I'll be surprised if you can answer with anything other than "we're not Duke".

There is no way we shoot 43% from 3pt land the rest of the season at the rate we are shooting them........ If we do then I am an idiot otherwise you are a dumbass. Why not work on our inside game in what was basically a refereed practice. Bueller... Bueller.... Anyone ???

I think you would be happier if we had "worked on our inside game" and lost. And you would be even more upset than you are now if we had shot 45 threes and won by 24.

Outside of Bailey, JV is our only player who has a true inside game, and you really don't know basketball if you can't see that our best opportunity to keep winning is to spread the floor around him and take the open shots.

Seriously, the guy has only one thing to say and that is Stans sucks. We could win by fifty points with 95% of our points coming in the paint, 6 or 7 players having double double nights, 0 turnovers, 100% FT shooting against Duke at Cameron Indoor when they were ranked #1 and he would still ***** about Stans being a sucky coach. It is just who he is.

*Yes, Fishy, I know that would never happen because Stans sucks, so don't bother posting it.

The Motion is more than 4 guys standing around the 3 point line, but since you suck off Stans you disagree. If we really ran the motion you would see more of an offense than the dump inside to JV and 4 guys standing behind the 3 point line waiting for an open look. We do not move without the ball.. Are you blind? Did you watch or go to the game tonight? Hello? Hello? We have no offense beside the 3 point shot and JV down low... Why? Why? Coaching? maybe...

I'm not saying we have a great XO's coaching staff. But your argument that we're not playing to our strengths is ludicrous at best.

is because with the way Wright State was shooting we would've put ourselves in danger of losing, and there's no justification for doing that voluntarily. In these days of parity, we'd be stupid to invite another Richmond game where we let a weaker opponent hang around and then screw it up at the end. Instead, we stayed with the outside shots since they were falling, and went inside when we absolutely had to have points. It's a formula that's working for us, and screaming about sticking with it while winning is inane. You can make an argument that it hurt us against Richmond, but that game had an entirely different feel.

I may need to crank up my sarcasm meter, but the reference to learning from Brady, if not sarcastic, was awesome. John Brady was the poor man's stansbury (and that might even be overrating him). Clearly there are some things Stans doesn't do well, but he's still equal or better to Brady in every respect.
