You two are crazy, this is a easy win. By 15+, there is no reason to think we would not win by at least 15. This team has done very little to improve themselves over the last 4 yrs. Im not over looking im just stating the facts, we will win. Sorry, I guess i was wrong what a sick game.

I'm just throwing this out there and I hope I'm way off base. But could it be possible that we have players who are shaving points. I seriously thought when we got up by 14 and the tempo and momentum was in our favor that uic would pull out the easy victory, which we all know did not happen. Armond disapeared tonight. If you where a player that would do that sort of thing wouldnt a 21 point spread be the best game to shave points. You could still go for the victory but make sure you lose by 21. I dont question this game so much but earlier in the year like UW parkside game. That game we looked like we where trying t lose, we could care less about defense rebounds or any sort of hustle plays. Last year at the beginning of the year it was carr who totally changed as a player. It got to the point last year that jimmy did not even want to let him into the games. Its funny but by the end of the year he was back to his old self and knocking down big jumpers in the stretch run. Ced seemed to follow aaron path of last year. By no means am I accusing them of any wrong doing. But there could be alot of money to be made, and money I'm sure they need, and It would be very easy to do.
Hopefully I'm totally and completly wrong, and just got a little to much conspiracy theory while enjoying my victory beers. Hopefully our players our completly honest and our just playing like s@#!. The one thing I do notice that has disapeared this year is hustle. Looseballs rebounds and defense have disapeared. Last year I thought Ced huslted more than anyone I have ever seen, this year he is getting lit up and out hustled to loose balls. I'm so sick of him not boxing out the freethrow shooter and then the guy gets his own rebound. This has happend at least 20 times this year.
More than likely Its not a gambling issue but a coaching issue. We are a team with little intensity wich paly horribly at times on both ends of the floor. We lack any kind of offense and we lack the killer instinct. What it comes down to no matter which way is JImmy Collins sucks as a coach. He gets outcoached in nearly every game, never ever makes adjustments, he lacks a offense, does not provide the team with a killer instinct attitude and lacks control of his team. If he had control dont he would have made sure Bailey showed up to class and graduated in under 4 years so hed get the 5th year of elgibility. Now I know you might say well thats martells fault, and yes it is, but its also jimmys. A college coach has to lay down the law and make sure his players are all elgible. So maybe he his lack of control has opened the door for the book makers. No matter which way JIMMY COLLINS SHOULD BE FIRED.

Yo, Dude:
We won the game.
REPEAT: WE WON THE GAME.
Is it really Jimmy Collin's fault that this year's team sucks from the free-throw line?
