The question stands. Who is Jones going to blame this on?

That is terrible time for timeout. FIRE HIM!

agreed. but doesn't that belong in another thread?

and another missed layup. NEW BALL GAME

Geno has some quick hands

couple bad shots by the young guys.

that looked to be a questionable tech

too many missed layups still, but much better performance. Nice to see the defensive intensity remains. Thanks for above Cratter, LMAO

They actually run an offense, that is generally ineffective (swing the ball around and wait for someone to see lane and attack). Then when that breaks down, it becomes a ball screen offense, again usually ineffective because teams have multiple defenders in the paint waiting. This would be a good option with the guards we have, but their is no backside action to help pull defenders out. Need the shooters hitting from deep to make that offense work. Here's to good luck tonite! Someone have one for me at the"Cantina," wish I could make it there.

What, the cast of hawks can't defend their territory?

If they get embarrassed tonight, I wonder who Jones is going to deflect blame on. Then I predict another thread is going to blow up! (Just call me Carnac - for the young ones Google Carnac the Magnificent)

They have a "Fire Pitino" thread at gopherhole. Work out a trade? (do I need to denote sarcasm)

Why let facts get in the way of a good story?

In our older ages, what else is there to look forward to? I'm happy to wake up in the morning!

Add Cashman and Avants, even Richman. But that would require coaching I would like to see Collins defend that position more, he did well in HS. Body to bang with and athleticism to get up. This game is probably going to be big man by committee, but how many guys is Coach Jones going to try. If Shanks still isn't feeling right, he has to have quick leash. If he is feeling better, he should recall last years game and do all he can to show UND has a post player too.

The play of the bigs is my biggest concern. Someone needs to step up and be of service in the paint, on both sides.

It was a road win, and with this young group, we'll take it and be happy. No reason to rip into Coach Jones, even when there are instances you could point out that were questionable decisions (i.e. substitutions, or lack thereof. OB plays not changing). But, they made a change defensively that helped them get a ROAD WIN. Let them enjoy the win, I am betting there will be plenty more opportunities to post about firing Coach Jones. Regarding this thread does nothing to support or improve the program. I would argue to the contrary. It is typical for the "fanatics", and die-hard fans to be the most vocal and generally lead these discussions. When there is enough support for a change, admins usually listen. I will say again, the admin is aware of the situation and I am optimistic that it will be dealt with at the end of the season.

Was hoping we'd have them on our schedule again. Next year!

Make sportscenter tonight?

I am not holding my breath. If they can keep this defensive intensity up, great, but going to need better O. Shouldn't be that difficult to get it

Because your other options are Cashman, Shanks, or Collins. Frankly, I would have liked to see Collins out there in the game, he brings high energy too defensively. And with the bigs in foul trouble, would have been useful if for only a few minutes.

It wasn't pretty! But I'll take it.

Bernstine hit Suggs?

Yeah I hear you. That's the problem with the new rules. They want the refs to call that bump more, but then they are also told not to decide the game in final seconds if they can avoid it

And the foul on Geno on light bump
