At the under 4 minute break in the first half we're 1-9 from 3. And it's Kaiser who made the 3. Such an amazing offense we have.

VU2014 · February 27, 2019, 07:44:10 PM

Not a bad defensive performance but this team doesn't have enough fire power with the injuries.

jloose128 · February 27, 2019, 07:44:42 PM

Oh no, you know who missed a shot to end the half; here come the hot takes.

mj · February 27, 2019, 07:45:06 PM

22 first half points. And of course it's Bakari who takes the last shot at the half. Kaiser leads the team with 7 rebounds.

I'm sorry but anyone who says this team hasn't given up is delusional or lying.

GoldenCrusader87 · February 27, 2019, 07:45:12 PM

YES!!!! Just like we drew it up. Freeman with the ball ... shot clock off ....

7
6
5
.....
[insert suspense]

And, he passes! Who to?

Well, Bakari obviously!

3 pointer goes up!

And, it's gooooood!!!!

Oh, wait ... never mind.

Back against the wall. Most important game of most of these players college careers. And we s@"$ the bed in the first 20 min.

Gonna need some bourbon at halftime.

Being bad on offense and giving up are two totally different things.

... in the first meeting our two bigs combined for only 4 rebounds. Fortunately, Golder had 8 rebounds. Will need more presence on the boards by Smits and Sorolla tonight, plus would be a bonus if Golder is fully healthy.

So much for that thinking! At halftime, in a combined 20 minutes of playing time Smits and Sorolla have a total of 0 rebounds (Golder injured again was only able to help with 1 rebound).

Because it sure looks like the team is playing with fire in their bellies right now.

You saying they look like they're not playing with a ton of energy and giving up are still two different things. I've seen teams "give up" in the past and this isn't that.

Did you see the shot of ML and the coaching staff? They all have the thousand yard stare. If it's not the players, then the coaches have given up.

jloose128 · February 27, 2019, 08:10:49 PM

Game over. Season over. Something needs to change.

nkvu · February 27, 2019, 08:14:59 PM

This is would be painfull to watch if I didn't have this thousand yard stare thing going on.

Valpo Joe · February 27, 2019, 08:16:57 PM

This team SUCKS - The Coaching staff SUCKS - ESPN+ streaming SUCKS - GO VALPO

nkvu · February 27, 2019, 08:18:04 PM

I take it back. It's painfull to watch even with a thousand yard stare.

NativeCheesehead · February 27, 2019, 08:18:28 PM

Hey Joe. There is nothing wrong with the streaming. Everything else is a s&@$show.

valpolaw · February 27, 2019, 08:19:35 PM

It has been a long time since I have been this disinterested and disappointed in a valpo team. This stuff is embarrassing. 28 points and 11 minutes left in the 2nd half?!!??

Idk why I watch these games. I already have plenty of negativity in my life.

wh · February 27, 2019, 08:21:57 PM

We should do an over/under on whether we'll score 45 tonight.

40 might be a challenge.

valpolaw · February 27, 2019, 08:26:41 PM

Agree we might end up in the 30s.

Have they given up now in your opinion?

bigmosmithfan1 · February 27, 2019, 08:29:10 PM

You can say it -- they've given up.

VU2014 · February 27, 2019, 08:34:06 PM

Valpo is making this challenging to watch. We are pretty inept on offense right now...

Hopefully the team hasn't given up, but I know I have.
