Message: [QUOTE="jibsey, post: 2002010, member: 859"] I'm giving up on this year's team. Does that make me a disloyal and bad fan? Do I get put on double secret probation? Look, I would love nothing more than to take a section of a game where we played well and transpose that into us winning the AAC but the only person I would be trying to fool is myself. Speaking strictly from a basketball skills perspectivebecause we know that these kids are nice and try hard playing for U, we are a terribly bad team. We never addressed our big situation and relied on a wish and a prayer, improvement. Amida never got the message or if he did he could not deliver. Purvis a 5th year player, was supposed to be improving also but instead has played like a high school reserve guard. He was supposed to be scoring 20 points a game for us but likes to throw the ball away and double dribble instead. The one kid who did improve Facey just can't do it by himself. Adams is progressing nicely but with the defensive focus on him as the only player who can hurt the opposing team, he is going to be smothered. The freshman are coming on but a shortened roster magnifies AB's and Rodney;s deficiencies. We are going nowhere and will not sniff the NIT but I will watch and cheer for inprovement in next year's returnees. I would bench AB and Purvis and play walk ons at times, not sending a message but the walk ons might actually be better than them. [/QUOTE]
