I haven't chimed in much on the hoops team this season - but after going to last nights game:
(And yes, I am bitching and stating my opinion before some douche poster points that out)
1. Clear that we have a rookie HC, making rookie HC decisions
2. McManamen came alive last night (finally) - especially early on
3. Dalton looked awful out there and made enough mistakes by himself to lose the game for UW
4. Not sure WTF is going on when you have Kelley playing and Lieberman on the bench in crunch time
5. If I was Adams, I would say FUCK YOU to UW & UW Basketball
6. The refereeing on both sides was horrible - I can't believe the MWC puts up with this shit
7. The new sound system sucks. You can't hear shit. Except a lot of bass, only at times
8. The half-assed interior renovation is a joke. The AA looks piecemealed together now
9. Why have cheerleaders? I mean, WTF are they really doing (besides embarrassing UW)?
10. The intro video & music is uninspiring and boring as hell
11. The seat allocation is still showing how poorly it was done - so many empty lower seats
12. Hats off to Barnes - being a "team" guy - always encouraging others, and not getting 1 second of PT
13. Student section sucks - the 100 or so that were there last night were too engaged on their phones
14. Although statistically we out shot Fresno at the line, we have issues (front ends especially)
15. Edwards actually showed some emotion last night (after 2 OT's though) - shocking!
/end rant for now
+1.
Agree with #3, and #5. I haven't been to the arena this year since I live out of state so I can't comment on that.
As to Adams..... the excuse Edwards gave to not playing him is bullshit to me and just shows that Edwards is a rookie head coach.
Not playing him because he needs more energy? WTF game is he watching? Adams actually plays with as much energy as anyone on the team. Infact I think he needs to slow down sometimes. This isn't me discussing the topic whether or not he needs to play more or not but the excuse the coach gave for not playing him. I think it is ridiculous. If he would have given some other reason for not playing like "well he wasn't playing defense the way I liked it" or something of that nature I could have bought it but saying he doesn't play with energy makes me think Edwards is watching a totally different game than I am.
