Basketball at WSU

[chezmustache]

     Observations from afar:

(1)  During the last minute of the game YSU took a twelve foot turnaround jump shot which did not permit a good look at the basket.  WSU drove to the rim and drew a foul.  Coaching? 

(2)  I agree with Indy that BROOKS' slip was the critical moment in WSU's last possession as it was "catch-up" after that.   

(3)  CHOJNACKI was abysmal on defense.

(4)  At the post game press conference the WSU coach was effusive in praise of the Penguins, who he considered one of the better teams in the Horizon League and capable of contending for the championship.

IP ..so if we have no bench want is going to happen..as what usually happens after the new year this is a team that runs out of a gas due to depth issues  not the fault of the players but again we are getting very little from the Butler success when it comes to recruiting

We are now paying a huge price for Slocum's astonishing blunder last season, which many posters noted at the time.  We won two league games, and it was clear by mid-January that we were going nowhere in the standings.  Yet Slocum burned the redshirt from Chojnacki, then refused to give him many meaningful minutes.  That kid should have played at least four minutes each half in every game.  Now we are forced to bring in a basically inexperienced kid as soon as Eargle gets into foul trouble.  An extraordinary poor job of coaching.

Depth would have been better if Maymon in particular, and Brewer to some extent, would have been able to stay. 

Lets hope some guys start to step up.
