re: How disappointed are you in the basketball team

very. played two respectable opponents and lost to both. sloppy play, not much defensive intensity, miss too many point blank baskets, & not very physical.

Don't forget this team has already played 7 games before the season started. I said this after last nights game. We have one season with Simmons. He's gone after this year. We don't have the luxury of giving them time to grow. We need an offensive game plan. Right now it's 35 footers or bust. We shot 33 3-pointers. 33. Pathetic.

I fully expect this team to be much better when Hornsby comes back. His leadership is important to this team. I'm really not too worried yet because I expect Ben to get more aggressive and Hornsby to help when things get tough. I know nothing about Victor. If he can improve the rebounding then that will be huge. Hornsby coming back will also be a big plus for rebounding. He is a really good rebounder for a guard. No panic for me yet unless Gray starts playing 30 minutes a game.

With all the freshman playing and still waiting on hornsby and victor, we are okay

Marquette started 3 freshmen, a soph, and a junior. They aren't waiting on a Hornsby or a Victor, but they never had one to begin with.

If jj loses three games in a row lets fire his arse too!

About a 5 or 6

Those were definitely 2 winnable games but those losses weren't so bad that you abandon all hope for the rest of the season

I haven't watched any highlights on Victor. All those were just jump shots. Is he a banger down low or more of what that video showed. I was under the impression that he was a really good rebounder and defensive presence down low. Seemed like a David West type offensive player in that highlight.

Exactly. Learning to play together. They will be fine. It's not how you start it's how you finish. Nothing really matters except do well enough to make the dance and then be hitting on all cylinders. Give them time.

Typical JJ coached team. It gets really painful to watch sometimes.

Love my Tigers but he just isn't that good of a coach.
