Ed should send Hurley flowers tomorrow.....they press us the entire game and we lose by 20.. Disagree. At the end of games with slight leads 5-10 pts we tend to be panicky against the press, same as last year. So yes I'm with you there. Clearly Ed needs to get them better at this. In regular (earlier) parts of the game we're OK but not great against it. If we attacked it back aggressively we'd get lots of dunks and layups, I saw some of that midway through the second half and it led to the scoring run we went on and gave us our confidence back. Obviously you have to be a little more conservative near the end, but we just made some horrific lazy passes at the end (Chukwu and CD come to mind in particular). Just horrific passes that let them back in.

Compared to our 2 guard?...kid would be starting and playing 25mpg for us....easily....defends...can handle well enough....strong...
I'm anti homer b/c every call needs to go PCs way?...you act like a first grader....where did I say one call cost them the game?...where did I say any call cost them the game....
Their 1/2 court turnovers in the first half and not pressing cost them the game....why he didn't press us after brown I will never know...nor ask...but I'm thankful he didn't...pressing Dunn would tire him out...get him in foul trouble...even if it would lead to early hoops....
Disagree in a big way about us taking them in a track meet.....

Disagree in a big way about us taking them in a track meet..... because every game you cry about how PC "got away with" a bunch of calls. I remember this often during and after games coming from you, yet I'm scratching my head trying to think of ONCE where you thought the refs missed a call that went against US.....It's amazing. Does PC EVER get screwed in your world? You often accuse directly or indirectly many of us of being homers, do you act this way to try and balance us out?

Find the post that i said pc got away with anything.....
Does pc get screwed?.....regarding what? Fouls?....like most adults I think fouls balance each other out....accuse you of being a homer?.... Is this a serious question?.....what grade are you in....

"You're crazy Dmac...we got a good whistle....take the w and run....."
"Bailed out..."
Way too early to decide who is the better player between Terrell and Lindsey. Lindsey was just turning the corner and becoming an effective 3 point shooter and providing good D just prior to spraining his ankle down at the Sun. How quickly we forget..
Terrell did nothing special for me tonight to say wow we effed up on this kid.
....gotta love friartown...

So saying we got bailed out when a guy dribbles the ball off his leg is anti pc?... Even if it happened?
.....look at Lindsey's line.....look at all his lines.....he's invisible.....didn't you say we need multiple guards next year?...,but we don't have room for a top 75 combo guard?......you think he's better than lamomba?
Lindsey's not a 2g....we don't have one....supposedly one transferred b/c of threatened PT based on Lindsey....our starting pg is on the bench and we're relying on a frosh pg to bring the ball across 1/2 court 1 on 3 b/c nobody on the roster can help him do it....BCs guards torched us and we don't close out on the perimeter against brown once but we can't use Terrell?....you're (deleted) me....
...and I didn't come close to saying Terrell would be a better basketball player.....he is a better guard right now....it's not debatable....

Comparing Lindsey to Terrell is comparing apples to oranges. Terrell also has had the fortune of being a guard his whole high school career while Lindsey played down low and is learning to play on the perimeter. Yes Terrell could help us but he wouldn't have put us over the top of any of those games that we lost. He is just a guy and when his career at URI is done he will easily be forgotten.

Sounds like fazekas working on his guard skills.....a defensive guard would have done wonders against bc and brown....you think we have a better guard coming in next year?...
Played down low and learning to play on the perimeter?..,, he's taken 25 threes in 28 shots.....

I saw enough out of Terrell to make me question why he wasn't a big priority when he became available in the spring for Cooley. Big, strong, fast...I don't see him as a prototype 2 guard...but we don't have one of those anyway and he is more of a 2 than anyone on our roster.

Lindsey hasn't taken the ball to the basket yet this season. It appears that he isn't confident in handling the ball. Anyone can stand outside and chuck threes if they are open. Carson shoots threes but that doesn't make him a guard. If shooting threes is your criteria for playing on the perimeter then you know less about basketball than I thought you did. We very well could have a better guard coming in next year, who knows until they lace them up.

He's a combo...doesn't shoot good enough to be a 2... Doesn't handle or pass good enough to be a one.....but can play either for stretches and guard the hell out of both....
...but we don't need anyone like that on our roster....he's a bigger Michael brown...

You said Lindsey played down low....watch him when we run our flex....he doesn't even look for the ball when he's on the baseline and he usually has someone smaller guarding him...... Where did he "play down low".... Last year?.... Not when I saw him play...you're right...chucking 3s doesn't make him a guard....last I checked the 3 point line is considered the perimeter and the kid hates being inside it...
Carson "shoots" threes?... Really?
We don't have a 2....we need one plus a Terrell type....kid from md is supposed to be a combo....we'll see...

He played down low before he got to Huntington when he was in Tenn. Why are you on Terrell's d*ck so hard? We just won a freaking game and you're on a guy who really didn't want to come here. He had his chance last September and he chose to go to Ok State to be the next Marcus Smart. He is just a guy and he found that out pretty quickly when Ok State kept recruiting guards. Cooley obviously thought that too in the end. Terrell played an ok game tonight that most of us will forget by tomorrow. Yeah we could use more guard depth. Maybe taking Lomomba was a mistake but hindsight is always 20/20.

Lindsey is shooting at 39% overall and 40% from 3 and 75% FT. Terrell is 35%,34%, and 56%.
You would be pi$%^ng all over Terrell during the 3 game losing skid.
Both avg. ~1.5 rebounds and ~1.2 steals. Yeah ok Terrell would be helping PC out so much more than Lindsey right now.
Like you said, take the W and run.....
