Another L incoming. Except for WCU Citadel and Furman seems like every SoCon team is playing better. At one point we were 13-1 with 17 games remaining. 20 wins looked like a certainty. 7-10 was all that was needed, now that seems very doubtful.

It is hard to believe how quickly we have gone from looking so fundamentally sound to what we look like now. It is further proof that the SoCon has good head coaches. They were able to look at film of our OOC games and quickly figure out how to beat us. I trust our coaching staff to make the adjustments needed to get us back on track.

It's beginning to look too much like last year. Ominous.

Running out of time to figure this out. do they know why this team has fallen off a cliff?

I remember Paladins finishing at bottom of league and going all the way to the finals a few years ago.

Maybe we should cancel the rest of the season? Or get Bluto from Animal House to give the quitters on this board a pep talk......I don't know if I have ever seen such an amalgamation of pussies and fair weather fans in my life.....

“What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...
It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!...“

asked AI to re-write in another way. It said
"Perhaps we should consider canceling the remainder of the season, or alternatively, invite someone like Bluto from 'Animal House' to motivate those on the board who seem ready to give up. I must say, I've rarely witnessed such a collection of individuals lacking in resilience or dedication to the team."
The only issue is fair weather fans... once you lose 3 outta 4 in relative blowouts and only win was vs league bottom team only becuase kid missed a layup?

I was a season ticket holder during the Jeff Jackson era. Watching this team gives me great joy. Go Paladins!

I vote that when the other team is winning under the boards we put the dude that transferred from the VPI football team in to bust them up. Like in hockey.

Maybe the team is just having bad luck. Turned on the UTC game tonight and within 30 seconds they missed 3 straight free throws, none were close. They missed 3 all day Saturday. Maybe we need to work on our free throw defense.

Didn’t know where to put this but I watch more basketball than I should, both in person and on tv. I cannot recall the last time I saw a travelling i.e. walking called. I think it is somethng that is just ignored. Long been that way in the nba but now in college. Anyone seen it called lately or is it a thing of the past?
