Idgaf if he's right as rain, this dude doesn't watch or go to the games, therefore he doesn't get an opinion on this, IMO, FWIW.

You’re speaking of and to people who actively root against the basketball team.

It was a lot less than 2600. Probably closer to 1k in actual attendance. No students at all.

Apathy. Plain and simple.

4 years of averaging 6th place in conference will do that.

So what was the excuse when posters ruthlessly appeared here week in and week out as complaintants against Levi for the past three years . . .

Every year it took Levi 4-5 games to really get going, and in those first few games there were times where we won in spite of his play. To be fair, he would always look like an All-Conference QB by the time the last stretch of the season occurred. But there was never a denial of his leadership inside of the locker room. His intangibles were unmatched.

But this is apple to oranges. Even in spite of Levi having an off night, our teams weren't averaging 6th place while he was QB.

I don’t have the answer to that. All I can say is people will complain when we lose and do the same even when we win. I thought samford was a decent team. They can light it up when given the chance as anyone who watched the game could see. They reminded me a lot of Denver back in the day. Not at the top of the league in talent but could aggravate the opposing team enough to give up open shots. I guess nothing will be good enough for the fan base as long as marlin is here. I’m indifferent about it now. Didn’t help to complain cause he’s obviously not going anywhere so I just pull for the kids to win. And they have been doing that whether you or anyone wants to call a team bad or good. I could never pull against our kids period.

I was more impressed with them than I expected, especially for them being 6-4. Their big kid in the middle gave JB trouble at times and played pretty good defense on him. They have a good system that puts lots of pressure on you and you can tell they can be dangerous when they start making shots.

I think we played very well defensively after the first 10 minutes or so. They attempted less 3's than we did and we held them well below their average. It didn't hurt that we shot 50% from 3 and made 11 which has to be a season high for us this year. The wing defense stepped up and we avoided a sloppy game and held our turnovers down considering how much they pressure the ball entry all the way down the court.

I need to look at our FG percentage allowed on defense. That is a better indicator than points allowed regarding defensive efficiency. I don’t know where we stand in the league in that regard. One factor in our inconsistency on defense has been the availability of Joe Charles. He is our best defensive player but unfortunately has seemed to be injury prone this season. We gave up 88 to Tech and his minutes were limited due to injury In Asheville. Injury against Loyola prevented him from playing against UNO and they scored 77. If he had played, I am confident Privateer bigs would not have had success driving to goal after JB fouled out. All that being said I agree team needs to improve on that end to reach their goals. I also think coaches and players would agree with that view. They believe they are capable of doing so in my view

We're third to last there at 43%. However, we're 6th in scoring margin. I agree with T that we do need to improve defensively and I've mentioned JB's limitations there but we're scoring which is promising because I think defensively we will improve as the season goes on.

And some who have an agenda that has a near zero chance of happening.

two things I've noticed on the few games that I've watched, one they have learned to make free throws, which to me is the only shot that is the same every time and easiest to practice, and second they have learned to rebound, which can be the difference in a game

You are trying way to hard to justify the Complaintants who reside here. There is not justification so just stop it. They are what they are and it’s pretty much the same group whether it is football or hop scotch the sport.

Because constructive criticism doesn't make one a complaintant. If we straight up sunshine pump, we create complacency which is something we have seen too many times.

Dude, we would aspire to create complacency with the results that occurred on the field while Levi was QB. Sorry but those I am speaking of have a doctorate degree . . . Doctor Complainant . . .
