With apologies to the late great Gordon Lightfoot: The Wreck of the U.S.Fitzgerald The legend lives on of the Chippewa's one round That made Bulls fans' bright dreams turn to doomy With one win "We're back" some said, but last night we looked dead Now one early loss made the skies of November turn gloomy...

Person asked how we win a natty with this loss. Get to the tournament is the way to do that. I didn't say we would but that's how we could.

We at least looked like we were running an offense in that game. USF had 24 assists in the first game and seven assists this game -that tells part of the story for sure. You're missing the sarcasm Mr Brad. But, if you don't make shots you can't get assists. That's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! If we shoot an awful 4-17 from deep, we win by 4, everything else being equal. It is amazing how a sport turns people into crazies, attacking others who want to see the same thing, which is to see their team win. This is why I follow sports without much emotion. For me, it is just a game. It is entertainment. Yet so many fans start attacking other fans when things don't go right or when one does not agree with another. That's the definition of "fan" for you. United we stand, divided we fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United we stand, divided we fall. flip the shooting percentages for 3's and we win by like 40. if we both had an average shooting night(33% from 3) we win by almost 20. just so happens they were hot and we were the exact opposite. it happens. people just don't understand the variance that comes with shooting. especially 3's Edited November 16, 2023 by Bull94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any post to post play, any guard to post play? Nope it was all "I got the ball, I'll try it". When you really need a bucket you have to be able to execute. CMU executed on our flimsy defense all night long. Got great shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only want people to understand it was an off night for shooting and nothing else. it happens. In fact if you said team A shot 53% from 3 and team B shot 6% you would think team B got blown out. that wasn't the case.
