The subject is this,.....we're. A terrible basketball team despite the record...when you look at our numbers at what has turned out to be a pretty awful,non conf sched those numbers are magnified....the fact that no one on this team can pass the ball at even an average clip (OTHER THAN COTTON) will make conf play tough to take....I appreciate you and dex and he rest of the core attending these games and making first hand observations...you guys bring some quality into...keep it up...if we only had Kyle wright at the 3 and big Russ at the 5...,

Broadcaster, don't care if he misses? He missed 7 out of 8 shots yesterday and I care. Guy is a 5th year 6'9 senior and if he played like one the last two FN games we are 12-2. End of story! No doubt. I guess what I am getting at is I just want to see that fearless, confident Batts on the floor. One who is not intimidated by anyone. That is all I meant. But I definitely could have said it better. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I think if he took the shots with his confidence he does not miss 7 out of 8 and that is what i am getting at. Batts NEEDS to play like he is capable. As you say - End of story.

UCONN has the "watch Shabazz pretend he is Kemba" offense.

"UCONN has the "watch Shabazz pretend he is Kemba" offense."
So true friarbroadcaster, Napier needs to pass the ball a little more for lots of reasons including keeping Boatie on the reservation. Chemistry matters

Boston, I was including Kofane and Woodring. Understand but Woodring is a walk on and really can't help..I included Kofane even though he really cannot help. In reality we have 7 players plus Bankroft and Kofane....Woodring?

Almost like when Brady Anderson hit 50 homers in a season or when a lifetime .260 hitter hits .300 once in a 10 year career?

Boston, to be honest we really have 6 players,2spot players-Goldy and Bancroft and 2 guys who aren't going to give us much. Cooley does not have many options. That was my point. I know we are on the same page.

I think not having another shooter OR legit point has hurt spacing on O...with council you had to respect his ability to take you off the dribble or getting the ball to cotton....now it's have one guy in cottons face and the others can slack off...fortune/ henton/ Harris ain't taking anyone off the bounce and don't get their shots up quick enough to get off uncontested threes....also remember batts was debating even playing this year...or he's just playing like crap...
