This reminiscent of one of Turg's seasons when we were 18-2 or something like that, lost in the BB to Miami of Ohio and limped into the NIT with Northern Iowa leapfrogging us into the ncaa.
We can fart rainbows and high five flowers, but we have nothing to do with how awful the team is playing right now. The team looks like they've given up and this isn't the first time this year they've just stopped playing well after getting up big.
And it wouldn't be the first time they gave up a huge bad stretch only to have an amazing stretch to win handily, either.
If this was a good team, I'd be worried. But it's still f'ing SIU.
We had about the worst 10 minutes a team could ever play, and we're down by 1 with 10 minutes to go. The sky isn't falling. And we're not suddenly the worst team in the country. We're having a tough run; I still expect us to win. And even if we don't win, I'm not going to turn against my team and start calling these guys "the worst senior guards in the country."

We expect more from this team, and I don't think that's unreasonable. Would you prefer apathy?
No. But dont expect calling the winningest player in WSU history one of the worst senior guards in the country. Dont expect calling out Armstead for takin a three, then not taking a three. Did you watch the VCU game?
Im just saying many on here turn faster than the team, and this team has shown the ability to overcome a lot of adversity. Sometimes the other guys just play better than you. Be a man, stand up, shake their hand, tell them good game, and move on to the next one. Dont be a little lady, throw a hissy fit, take your ball an go home. We have enough Creighton's in the world.
Hate to say it but i don't see CH having 4 fouls hurting us that much. He just isn't the same guy tonight... Problem is, we have no one to step up either....

DWill may be the winningest player in WSU history, but he's also one of the most frustrating. Even when things were going well, there were many who criticized his decision making and that's still valid when we're playing poorly. Same with Armstead. In many cases it's the shots they choose to take that are criticized. Not that they're shooting threes, but they're taking bad ones.

Are you effing kidding me? I've been the one drinking the koolaid recently. I've been the one defending the team from all the panic BS lately.
When you start blowing 17 point leads to 1-10 Valley teams and you have guards playing STUPID basketball, it gets real old to keep defending it.
You're wayyyy out of bounds on this one DSB.
Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.
