He shot 11 of 25. Lousy. He ain't George Gervin.
Well, I guess I'll throw myself on the sword, but bad games happen in basketball. Is it the coaches fault? Partially, for sure. I didn't watch Golden's presser, but I doubt he threw the players under the bus. We actually played pretty well in stretches, but missed a lot of layups and then lost an 8 point lead in the 2nd half, after I step away for a few minutes, and come back to us losing, apparently thanks to Lane and Jones. WTF!?
FAU shot 54% from 3, open shots or not, that's lights out. We shot 47% from 3 and that's PFG. They just shot more 3's than us. Our downfall were the many close baskets that didn't drop and defensive lapses on the perimeter, both fixable. Golden Boy's here for a little while, so might as well give him a chance before we declare him MW Jr. Who knows, maybe we'll beat the SOW on Friday.
That's the spirit jboss!Golden Era over if we lose to 0-3 FSU? Fired with cause?
Stricklin sure has a knack for coaching hires.
The real question is whether or not Golden will be here longer than Mark Long.
America wants to know
Can’t spell Stricklin without “N-I-T”
I'm glad you posted on this topic. How do you like "golden showers "?Finally saw a game. They smothered our offense except for CC. Their guards destroyed us on offense and def. Their switching on screens was like a total mystery for us. Their 3pt shooting killed us and you could see how confident they were on the court. Like some have said we are a new team trying to come together. We have good parts but aint no chemistry yet. But I guess its a great opportunity to see who can come up with the worst invective for new guy.
I think it reveals more about the creator of that name than our new coach........I'm glad you posted on this topic. How do you like "golden showers "?
I took the bait a few years and then realized what was going on...........you gotta give him credit for the creativity...........great post ,tlb.and that's when your trolling struck home. And STILL, I had to respond because that's how I'm wired, like a cat chasing your laser pointer.
Whew... thank goodness it wasn't me that gave him that name. On a serious note, I think we're going see alot more mid major upsets with the transfer portal going like crazy. There's just so much crossover now. We have a handful of guys that were playing in those leagues last year and these teams like fau are getting the high major kids that didn't do much as freshman on power5 teams.I think it reveals more about the creator of that name than our new coach........
We played pretty poorly against Kennesaw St too, and despite playing what should be totally overmatched opponents, haven't won a half since the first half of KSt. That's 3 halves in a row of serious underperformance, and it's not like we lit it up in the first half of that KSt game. People were predicting a 30 point win, we scraped out a win in the second half.Jaysus! One two point loss early to a team that shot 54+ % threes, give me a break. More of the burn the house down while the foundation is being built crowd. Find another team.
You can spell stick lickin' with his name too. Just saying.Or without "S-I-C-K"
Because that's how the state of Florida athletics overall has made me feel the last five years or so.
