BBall Tonight - Bulls at ECU Info and In game discussion

[Bull Matrix]

Bright side is that I have not ordered any Papa Johns as I don’t think the 50% discount win the Bulls win will be much of a reality. I lost about 15 lbs during the past few weeks.

I don’t see this team winning another game until November. Not even sure how to fix the damage Antigua caused.

Why can we not find enough players to at least play .500 basketball? There are hundreds of other schools that seem to be able to do it.

Well thank goodness Central Connecticut St is not on USF schedule seeing as how they whipped ECU when the 2 played.

For once, we actually seem to have a full team. It's not a matter of having the bodies anymore. That was an issue under Heath and Antigua--never having a full bench.

This team was literally smacked together prior to the start of the season. Only DaSilva had significant playing time as Bull last season. Martin and Manderson didn't play significant minutes last season. The rest of the guys are walk on's, grad transfers, and freshmen. There just isn't any offensive team chemistry.

I was shocked he came back. Would not be shocked if this is his last season at USF. Expecting a lot of new faces again which goes back to the thing with having a new team that hasn't played together...

I give the guys that came here a lot of credit.  They knew it would not be easy and they still decided to come and stick it out.

Go Bulls!

It's a college basketball expansion team and all that comes with expansion teams. First ingredient in the cure is time. IF everyone stays, they'll be a little more continuity next year, and then more the following year. With the 6 year contract, sounds like CBG thought knew what he was getting into ....... but did he really know.

We haven't had a full bench since the middle of Seth's tenure.
