Furman @ North Carolina (Dec. 14 ESPN2)

At times in the first half of that game, you saw the very best of Furman basketball...The result is disappointing but I realize that the game is probably way different if Furman knocks down some of those open looks...I also realize that's the best team on FU's schedule, and perhaps on a neutral floor, that game comes down to the wire...Who knows...I like FU's chances of playing well and winning on Fri night...Looking forward to the next challenge.

Furman looked like a high school team against the Heels. They made some 3’sin the first half and stayed in the game. The only stat you need to know is that we had zero second chances and they had 19. A team with 4 guards cannot play against a major front line like UNC has. With the exception of Slawson our bigs are soft.

Ask Louisville if they played a high school team?

Louisville game we played bigger, we played midget lineup too much vs. UNC, also Louisville not as big or good as UNC

Several thoughts
1. I like the passion and opinions expressed here. Of course, I don’t agree with everything but respect your opinions and keep them coming.
2. As much as we want to win, CBR wants to win more. He is putting the players in the game that gives him the best chance to win.
3. I would like to see more size in the game but they have to earn it, i.e. practice, extra practice, game minutes etc. Joe Anderson is a great example of being buried on the bench but earning playing time from CBR’s “Work while you Wait.”
4. The game has changed and our best course to win is our 3 point shooting. It would be nice to have a big to protect the rim and rebound especially when the opponent is taller and longer. Maybe the player rotation should be tweaked according to the opponent.
5. I talked briefly to AH before the game and he said he was ready to play. He sure was.
Anyhow, we have a great coaching staff and players and I am sure they can figure it out. Go Paladins! Beat the Bulldogs.

Very clever retort. I am unable to answer that level of wit.
