Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 2001360, member: 57"] Maybe I should give up watching Cuse games this season. In the games I have seen we are perfect - all losses with disgusting efforts. Of course, this has been a "bully" team - beat up the 50 pound weaklings and roll over whenever anybody halfway decent stares back. This team just has no toughness, no smarts, and no mental discipline. Our offense seems to be just one guy getting hot for awhile & that's all folks. Our so called PGs are out of control. Today Lydon was fantastic and nobody else was even close to average. However, as bad as things were, the game was actually lost on the FT line where their margin was +8 in the same exact number of attempts. Some of that has to just be concentration. On offense we simply do not move the ball well, nor do we seem to have a go to player. Maybe Lydon has turned the corner, but still, he isn't the type of player you can just give the ball to & have him make a play in crunchtime. He is more about getting to his spots, which he did very well today. I think that will be harder for him to do against more talented opponents. White, at least in the games that I have seen, should be solid, but can't put two good halves together. There are just too many guys who look lost out there, especially Howard and Roberson. Gillon at least has moxie, but too many of his drives are out of control. The D is swiss cheese - nuff said. In all of the games that I have seen, we were there at halftime & folded in the 2nd half. Obviously, players problems aside, the staff is not making any successful adjustments. If we didn't have talent, but the guys were playing hard & smart I would be perfectly OK with that. But when we play loose and mindless a lot of that has to be on the staff. This team needs a serious gut check - starting at the top. [/QUOTE]
