It?s (bleep)

[coalherd]

Another glaring negative factor in this losing streak.  Post-game comments, per Steve Cotton or other radio person, indicate that Marshall was averaging something like 85 ppg. after the win at EKU.  Since then, even with the 79 points tonight, we are scoring only about 65 ppg!!  Big difference, and helps explain the 10-game losing streak!

[Garbanjo]

Such a piss poor coaching job by Dan. Goran is such a defensive liability.

Beyers too

Absolutely terrible

Should never play

Hillbilly Ball is dead

This new style the past 2-3 years is terrible to watch and doesn?t win enough games

It?s over

Post game interview with Dan brining up youth again.
He decided not to use the transfer portal or bring in JUCOs, quit bringing it up when you made the damn roster.
He shouldn?t have been so giddy about Williams and West leaving if he is worried about class listings.

DD pitched the youth excuse again in the post game.  Maddening

In addition to saying that we should be better by the end of February when it really counts.  I think he says that each year.  At least that was true in 2018, I guess the jury is still out for 2022!

Too much standing around and too much dribbling. Should never have a shot clock violation like we did tonight. Too much worrying about what shot you are going to create instead of getting the ball to the open man. Many times in the first half, Braun was open in the corner and nobody would work the ball to him. We beat ourselves tonight. Yeah, there were some bad calls and no calls. As others mentioned, it should have never come to that. I don't see how we end this on Saturday.

Go watch the UAB and western game if you want to see teams move without the ball.  It is night and day from our one one hero dribble dribble then turn it over ball.  Dantoni should watch actually

I?ll leave it all alone; this board has smart herdfans on it?we are not dumb?.maybe dumb founded?

[Buffalo Bop]

I?m starting to go to the record books for longest losing streak and Dwight Freeman lost 13 in a row back in ?91-92 season.

Possible it could go to 13 games, the next game we are favored currently is FIU on 2/10.

The fact DD keeps playing Goran is all the proof we need that we need to fire DD.

[parshall2marshall]

Beyers too

Absolutely terrible

Easy there. I only remember 2 Beyers TO's tonight. We have so much confidence in him we have him in-bounding vs. the full-court press.

A true PG and we win handily. Too many bad passes ( e.g. miserable lobs ) and lost dribbles. Gave up way too may easy baskets, especially in the 1st half. Team plays dumb basketball.

[herdfan129]

Beyers is a million times better than Goran.

[carolinaherdfan]

Beyers is a million times better than Goran.

Come on man?they are both not getting the job done, I agree? but one million times better or worse?

Yeah, well at a critical point in 2nd half he hit a nice trey.  On the very next Herd possession he shoots an AIR BALL on another 3-point shot.  They go down and score.  I believe we had a 4 o4 5 point lead after his 3 pointer.  After they score, he is taking ball out bounds against their pressure, throws pass inbounds but it HITS the out of bounds line; turnover to MTSU.  In a very short span, our small lead is all but gone!  Ball should NEVER be in Byers hands except only if he is shooting; a walking disaster waiting to happen otherwise!!

[herdfan129]

Yes. A million times better. Goran is a low level NAIA player and would only be decent at that level cause he is 7 foot tall.

Beyers makes shots, dribbles and penetrates etc. He actually has skill?. Unfortunately everyone on this board wants to put his every move under a microscope when in reality Taylor, Kinsey, and rest of the team makes the same poor decisions. The only common denominator in these terrible decisions is coaching.

[svherd]

I hope next year is better and DD and the staff can go out on their terms and on a positive note. The new AD will give him a year.

[chris88]

Since season started: Enjoyment, optimism, frustration, disbelief, sympathy, apathy.

I am at stage 5

Hope they can pull it together.

Womens team lost by almost 40 at MTSU.

[Rockin Herd Fan]

Tough loss last night.  I'm not going to rag on Danny for anything.  The team shot decently.  Taylor had a really good game.  That is what I thought he was going to be like this season.  He has shot the ball better lately, so hopefully he is fully out of his season long slump and he can help us get some wins down the stretch.   

[ThunderValley]

We're at the bottom zero conf. wins. Only way we can go is up. But again......

[2xBison]

Come on man?they are both not getting the job done, I agree? but one million times better or worse?

he's not good defensively...but hey we'd bench 85% of team if it was about only defense.  last night he was back to his TO game a bit.

at least he scores some and can shoot some and make foul shots.  that makes him better than the majority of the team on offense.

oh well, it is a %^&* show and hard to blame one guy.

I like the way AT played.  TK is doing fine other than shooting when double and dribble teamed and stopping the ball from moving.  he also doesn't raise his team mates level of play by moving ball and otherwise facilitating offense.  I have to think that DD is fine with it otherwise why the 39-40 minutes a game and no changes.

Agree

[MidlandKnight]

I actually thought we played a pretty good game last night, and really didn't mind most of Danny's rotation. Except when he put Goran back in late in the game, he was just too slow to play against MTSU and immediately cost us five points.

I would finish a game with 4 players before I played Goran.
