Ha. Down 51-44. A 7 point deficit

We lose. Doubt we score 7 more points the whole game.

Rinse and repeat for the worst team in the MVC.

This team is a mess. This may be the last game I tune in to this year. Really, it’s enough.

Haha love the blog so glad I missed same shjt team.
Yak must go

Does anyone have any idea why Fens barely plays?
2 pts 3 boards in 6 min.
The kid does good things when he is out there and has size.
What is Yak so scared of using him for?
We are the laughingstock of the valley!

I’ve asked the same question. Yaklich probably doesn’t like the guy or thinks he should be farther along than he is . How can he, when the coach won’t play him?! Yet he has an overrated, offensive foul-proned, bad shot taking, bad free-throw shooting Toby Okani playing huge minutes and quite often hurts the team down the stretch. I don’t get it.

Those stats you gave for Cam translate to 8 points and 12 boards for 24 minutes. Surely in a guard oriented MVC Fens can be an effective help.

At this point why not just play Fens and Ojukwu more? We’re in last place…we’re going to finish in last place. So we lose by 20 instead of 15? Who cares? Why not try to develop these guys a bit for next year? Though at this point I’m guessing Fens is going to transfer…not that I want that.

Coach gives way too much time to players that are making a ton of mistakes. Okani has just been brutal. How in the hell was he thinking NBA? Rivera has also not been very good. For every good play CJ makes, he makes a bad one. Clay was awful yesterday. In general…just so much inconsistency from game to game. Never know what you’re going to get out of anybody.

Fens will prob just transfer and it might be for the better. Ojukwu has not even had a minute in the last 3 games, might be someone to monitor for next year too.

I really wish Tobi would just stop shooting at times. I wish he would take more of a Draymond Green role. His shot selection bothers me the most, why are you shooting a turnaround mid-range shot. Since the start of conference play Tobi has shot:

1-10 .10
8-13 .61
1-5 .20
3-7 .42
1-6 .16
4-12 .33
4-13 .30
3-9 .33
2-10 .20

If I was a young player on a talented, veteran team I would understand not getting a ton of playing time.

We are not talented. We are losing.

Play Fens
Play Ojukwu

Agree on all of the above.
