It would be nice to see more fans. Where are the students? Same old story. Feel bad about calling are bigs “clumsy” but it is the weakest part of the team. They hustle and try to make a difference but missing so many shots without going to at least the line continues to baffle me. Tossing up threes isn’t the answer either. We missed Abrams last night for sure. I am interested in knowing what is going on with Madge and Turro. Are they injured? Redshirts? What? They are not getting any better sitting. These players need minutes. Is it this year or next. Or will they transfer and find their niche somewhere else. Revolving coaches and players do not make a winning program. I read that DeAndre was benched for his performance in the Kansas game, not for an injury. As difficult as it may be to hear, there are more questions than answers at this point.

Paul, you are a polite soul, but you and everyone else knows that there are no questions at all. Three and a half seasons on and we have every answer right before our eyes.

Outcoached and overmatched athletically. I actually observed that the hustle and effort were there. Our hearts were in the right place, but our talent was not. Milwaukee was flat. Zero fight. 31-11 to start by EIU. Didn't stop the ball. Soft inside. Just not a tough team. Way to many slow starts on games this season, they can't dig themselves out.

At whose feet does this ultimately lay? IMO, that is coaches and players. I understand many will say coaching. Yet, as a player you shouldn't need anyone to get you going to compete. It's all Baldwin's players. So, this is his ship now. He knows that and said it on the post game radio show that he is responsible.

Glad that he admitted responsibility for our performance, but here's hoping that he hasn't slipped into the Forrest Gregg Zone.
Week after week, game after game, Gregg as coach of the Packers would say, "That was the WORST performance I've ever seen. There's no excuse for how bad we were."
Great. That's on the table. Time and time again. Now what are we going to DO about it?

I’ll tell you guys this a lot of questions are being asked so here are some of the truths #1 some of these have no real desire to play basketball they are just here they don’t care about winning at all Period!!!! Soon enough I will go in detail if this crap continue. #2 The Bigs ain’t S*** No presence at All. It’s getting worse by the week Stevie Wonder can see what’s going on Ray Charles can grab more rebounds than these guys. And you guys tell me one of these guys was a National recruit? ? Please !!!!!! The other guys you were mentioning to get minutes to can’t because they don’t Ever remember the plays so you can’t play them either it’s crazy! And you have the other guys looking guys off just to score points instead of playing as a team We will never win with personal stats Scoring 25 but losing by 27 means nothing which looks better? ?? We have to play as a Team! Pls go find some Real Bigs! I don’t care where you find them go the Africa, Germany, Brazil,down under just get em here!!!

Great. That's on the table. Time and time again. Now what are we going to DO about it? Well, I would think the next three games are loses.

Ok we played like crap. There needs to be adjustments. Henderson needs to rebound and block the lane. Period. Go with 3 guards and Abrams. That is 4 gaurds. Bring Tyler, Brown, and Mitchell off the bench. That is 7 gourds. What to do with seven guards? You apply pressure. The fifth starter is Wilbourn. But please no 35 foot shots. Not this year at least. Rebound. Amir and Sessoms give minutes and fouls. Our defense has been good at times. Our offense is good in transition. Otherwise we are very predictable. Set terrible picks. We have three more guards coming in. Two more redshirting. We need bigs in a terrible way.

My head is going to explode like the Martians hearing the Indian Love Call song...drives me totally insane when Sessoms or Henderson jack up three point shots with tons of time left on the shot clock. Also, not saying he necessarily needs to be in the mix but what is up with Bobby Arthur Williams? Never see him in the box score at all.

Bobby Arthur Williams might be hurt. He has been in street cloths.

Can we go over next year's roster again? Is it almost ALL guards? Who's leaving? Can't we just adopt an uptempo, pressing style with the composition of this team?

Cut it loose, PBS! Can't you guys all SEE this?! We've got four guards who can play in transition and not much else. You guys have watched the game long enough. Wasn't there a stated goal to push the ball more? Well, let's see it. We're waiting ...
