[QUOTE="Connell62, post: 133908, member: 484"] My comments are not meant to take any heat off of BG because ultimately he is the one responsible for our performance, but I'm frustrated with this squad as a whole. Putting aside for a moment the issues with our coaching situation, I want to see our guys start making some plays in these types of games/situations. By now, we should know what to expect and the level of focus it requires to come out with the W. The play drawn up at the end by BG was certainly a dud, but we shouldn't have even been in that situation. We played very good defense for large parts of the game, but then completely fell off the cliff in crunch time. We weren't even slowing them down going to the basket, and many of the missed helped assignments were basic defense. To me, that is as much a loss of focus as it is a lack of coaching. On the offensive end, we leave so many points on the table. As I have said before, I've never seen a team miss so many makeable shots. Demarco had 5 attempts last night, making one of them. Most where from point blank range, and he missed the basket entirely on a couple of them. Like everyone else here, I'm about as frustrated as can be with the current status of our program. Hopefully this doesn't come across as me blaming the players because I'm not. Without a doubt, they are giving max effort and have hung in there despite all the adversity, but it is time for our guys to get over the hump and make the plays that need to be made. Sometimes, that takes something that cannot be taught or coached. [/QUOTE]
