Well, since I can't give each of the guys a swift kick in the ass, and Jimmy Collins apparently will not do it, I hope this defeat will be the thing that finally wakes these lazy bums up. I think this may be the most embarrassing loss I have ever witnessed. I mean, does everyone realize we just lost to a Division-2 school, and they had more students at the Pavilion than we did. They were also taunting...unbelieveable for us to let them come into our house and dismantle us. Maybe we should change our starting lineup introduction to "We don't let anybody push us around, unless you're a crappy D-2 club"
I really don't have much to say because that was one of the worst games I have ever laid eyes on. I really wouldn't mind having the last few hours of my life back. If we played with a quarter of the heart that UWP had, then we may have won....but we didn't and so I congratulate UWP for a great effort. I also congratulate the Flames for giving them probably their best D1 win in school history....we suck!
Our defense is just flat out hideous. How many threes were we planning on giving them? They made 14 but they missed about 10 wide open shots from behind the arc....it could've been a lot worse. It was clear they were planning on only shooting 3's and we couldn't even guard against it. I just don't understand how we can't get back in transition...or even after a bucket...they just hurry down, run a screen, and get a shot after we fail to switch....yet Ced runs through about 50 screens and can't get a shot.
The offense...yeah, we don't have one....again, UWP ran an offense. We like to have McGee do absolutely nothing with the ball. He needs to penetrate...enough said. Armond Williams needs to quit talking trash until he knows they're gonna win the game. After every dunk he acts like it's game over....putting his hands in the air....guess what you lost and looked good....big deal. Stefanov disappeared. Amazing the guy can play great against Duke yet can't make a layup to save his life against UWP.
I'm just so angry I can't stand it right now. I saw Jimmy get mad once when Bowen missed a layup but not once after their many defensive lapses did I see him get on someone's case. I'm glad this was the last game I was able to attend because frankly, I'd rather not attend any more games this year....they just drive me up a wall. Maybe one day UIC will not play down to the level of their opponent. Maybe this will teach them.
Gotta go find some beer....this is extremely disappointing.
