[Aargh]

Ighovodja had 8 rebounds in 18 minutes

I mean it should surprise no one we produce way better against Alcorn at home than we did against a top 15 team away from home.

I feel like I watched a different game than a couple of you guys. I saw absolutely nothing positive outside of a few possessions on offense.

Ok.. a win is a win and this is where I thought ought to be...Go Shoxs!

[ShockerFever]

I’m sorry but I’m genuinely just bored watching this coach coach and this team play.

Agree. This was literally one of the worst teams in D1. Shockers did the bare minimum in my eyes.

[Walker]

Just watch the players when the ball goes up. They just stand there. No attempt to box out. If it comes in their area they may jump up to get it but that's about it. Not sure if it's terrible coaching or terrible effort, or just both.

It’s stress inducing watching this team rebound. We’ve got a little talent and some experienced players but they are passive spectators when it comes to rebounding. It’s an identity that seems to mirror our coach unfortunately. A win is a win and I hate to be a downer but we are going to be embarrassed by Memphis and some teams in our conference we have no business losing to if this doesn’t change.

Unlike Bell, Joy doesn't care where he is when he gets the ba;;. The shot is going u[ from there.

Hence the crowd

[Aargh]

I believe I'm qatching a low energy team and a low energy coach. Iwonder if there's a connection there.

Maybe Mills should look at some metrics of winning among coaches who show energy dufing a game and those who don't. Lon Kruger was pretty laid back, but not as laid back as Mills. I can't imagine Mills giving a pep talk. Mills needs to recruit someone with enough energy to infect the team, because he doesn't eeem to have that.

Disappointed in the attendance. Most folks are just not going to pay $40 and above for this uninspiring BB. Have to beat KSU in front of a large crowd and move into the top 50 or 60 for me to even think about going again in person. Good news is it's certainly possible.

Ughhh…surely seeing that stat would make Mills’s blood boil too right?

Maybe just difference in expectations? It went as I expected. Nothing amazing, but I am not throwing a fit either. I am fine with it tonight.

I don't think his blood boils over anything
