Wright State -- Thursday 2/2

[Kroener3535]

This thread should be deleted...games over time to move on...I think this will be the most hostile environment we will have seen this year. 150 year anniversary, if Butler wins they are back in the lead of the conference and if we win we are in the drivers seat. You can imagine the BU faithful will be revved up

Not true at all!! IF Butler wins, they would be 7-3 and we would be 9-3. Since we would still have 2 more wins than them, we would be 1 full game ahead of them for first place coming down the home stretch!!

I'm not sure why everyone's complaining about the video feed. I watched the entire game with only a few instances of chopiness. Sometimes the camera work isn't the greatest (compared to if you were watching a game on TV), but as stated earlier, it's the same feed used to display on the scoreboard. As we were explained to on RaiderRoundball, the camera guys are not paid any money for the internet feed -- they are mainly interested in what gets put on the scoreboard. How that may or may not affect the quality of the feed itself, I'm not sure.

And someone mentioned that the color guy didn't seem to grasp many aspects of the game of basketball... Dave Dinn played 4 years of collegiate basketball for WSU, so lack of basketball knowledge is not a problem (although I'm sure you are much more knowledgable than he...). I don't think he has much commentating experience, so that may be the main issue.

Good luck the rest of the way -- maybe the Raiders and Panthers will hook up one more time this year....

The feed last night was horrible. I felt like I was watching the zapruder film.

I thought the Loyola game was one of our best. Last night was one of our worst.

Guess what? It happens.

Poor decisions, Poor free throw shooting, and lackadaisical effort at the wrong time usually ends up in loss. Especially on the road.

The mark of this team will be determined in large part on how we respond on Saturday. We shall see.

That's right. Better to have a poor game now than in March.
If amazes me that the Panthers were still in the game late despite the lousy effort.

I don't think effort is the right word. They did put in a lot of effort. The execution was lacking, not the effort.

I agree with you. "Effort" was not meant in the sense of "not trying hard", but in the sense of "overall performance". I should have been more clear with my choice of words.
