The thing that is really bad is that they have forgotten the fundamentals of rebounding. In the four blowouts they’ve been embarrassingly out rebounded. That is basic basketball stuff I teach my 7 year old team. You cannot begin to think of offense or running without the ball.

I cannot see how folks at this level can get to the foul line and be just so darn awful at free throws. A well respected coach once stated, you can’t begin to think of championships if you cannot shoot free throws. We’re predictably terrible. Anyone who scouts us will know who to foul without clock stopping, point scoring consequences.

Sorry, but I cannot see a turn around at this stage of the season. It’s mental and if they’ve allowed a beat down for 4 consecutive games, something negative has gotten into the mindset and it appears to be sticking.

IF They can Get to 8-6 that’s Two Losses Better than Last Year’s 8-8;

RE: Quitters (Above)

They ‘could have’ played slow-ball to keep the NMSU score down — No Doubt, 115 points IS Embarrassing — BAD even in the NBA — but they played straight up… Man!

Against LA Tech they had good Runs to cut it to eight before the Refs’ 5-Point Play slowed the Recovery — Gib thought a Good 12 minutes —

Just Get That Back Up to 40+ Minutes like they learned to do in December and January …

And, Hey, Bench ! STEP UP !

—————– Next Week…

THEN, GET Deeper into the WAC Tourney …
