Topic: Marshall vs. Radford Game Thread

[herdorbust2]

I don't think Dan can think during late game situations. I just don't understand it.

He had a chance to see their lineup on the court. They have small lineup with quick guards. He calls timeout. Instead of subbing out Conner and playing Crawford or Nutter, he goes with the lineup. He then proceeds to defend as if they were going inside with that lineup. THEY CHASE SCREENS on the inside and Radford runs a screen-the-screener to the outside. Conner gets there way late and instead of jumping vertically.....jumps towards the shooter. Even if he misses that shot, he gets 3 free throws.

I like this team. But Dan just doesn't ever seem to get late-game strategy. Can't his assistants help him there? Or does he just go with something that has no rhyme or reason? I just don't understand it. Every time that we are in a close game at the end and strategy comes into play....I have zero confidence in Dan.

Danny's teams never play smart. And he is an arms crossed type of guy that just likes watching the game. I knew the first 3 games didn't show us anything. Radford isn't anything special but they at least have some D1 talent. We will have to get much better to have a .500 season.

Awful coaching decision last 3 seconds?.Dan plays a switching man defense for 39:57?(which isn?t the greatest because it really exposes Conner and Fricks when they get stuck on the perimeter) but then with 3 seconds left when the absolute last thing you can do is let yourself get taken out by screens, Dan decides to go straight, no switch and 2 guys get taken out and give up a wide open look for the loss.

Dan should slow it down and try to win games in the 60's.

While Dan thinks it is still the 60's, he isn't trying to score in the 60's, too low.

Getting outrebounded by 10 against Radford is brutal. Why Danny doesn't focus more on rebounding and D is a mystery.

It's not important to his philosophy.

Run and gun, but when you get punched in the face you better have a plan.

But it is important. ~10 means you have them 10 extra possessions. You make half of this and that is 10 points. That alone cost us the game. But he will never see it.

(*sigh*)  Thank God for soccer.

Martin is the biggest addition imo. Obinna has never developed a skill set. Still have no true PG. and Conner brings no aggressiveness to the game. This team needs a couple quick ball handling guards.

Not according to goherd24. We should still be at the table eating crow. Something feels different about this team my ass. Same bad rebounding team with no toughness.Dumb shots at the end of the game. And then Connor with his lack of moving his feet. And all that airhead can say is that the refs favored Radford. Good lord man, your to much. I said this earlier. Give me two quick guards and a big that can rebound and score and Marshall is toast.

What we know - game  coaching is this staffs weakest link.

Recruiting?

Lol. I told you Martin was a stud and you said i was not so smart, and can't look at talent lol. Told you we'd be 4-4 in football, after 4-0, going on 5-7 and you said i was not so smart.

This basketball team will be fine. We had about as bad a night as we could have against a pretty decent team and were in it at the end. This team is going to get better, and will be a contender in the sbc for sure.

The one thing i can't be positive on was this venue. It was awful. I'll give them credit for doing the best they could in a ball room but it's still a ball room and a joke. They are pushing to try to get p5 teams there and make it some prestigious event lol. I hope we never go back.

So we lost our three top players, but this year we will be better?  How do you stay so optimistic after so many middle of the pack finishes. You?re the Aaron Perkins of basketball. Good for you.

Please don't ever compare me to that turd dude. Martin is an upgrade over soft ass micah. Voyles had a bad night but will grow. Crawford too.

I think they can absolutely compete in the sbc as they gel and get better. I'd rather be optimistic than doom and gloom when it's not doom staring you in the face.

Soft ass Micah went for 14 and 14 tonight against Virginia.

So we'll be "fine" in year TEN!!  Can boast that we lost at the wire to "mighty" Radford, picked near the top of their League, the Big South(?) which, as we all know has a "national reputation" as a top basketball league, at least among the Mid-Majors!!

Yeah, that really should cause a "mad rush" at the CAM's ticket office, and no doubt result in a significant boost in donations to the Big Green, the Tip Off Club, etc., etc. Not to mention increase potential interest in HERD Men's Basketball by perspective 4-star or better possible future recruits!!

In reality, it really means only that Danny now joins that "prestigious" list of MU Head Basketball Coaches who have LOST to "Mighty" Radford!! Series now stands at 8-2, in favor of MU!!  Another "chicken" feather for Danny Boy's Hat!!

Ummm, bust, could that just possibly mean that Micah is now play for a HEAD COACH who has perhaps at least a "clue" how to use his talent, ability, etc.??

[herdfan129]

No worries guys. We have the Euros sitting on the bench for their 5th or is it 6th seasons. We also have two players that are allegedly transferring out after this season currently taking a redshirt.

That?s literally 4 players who should have had their scholarships revoked at the end of last season. This is why I no longer support DD.

Well in 1968, Marshall typically only played 6 players, why change now and we need practice players haha

Try McKee / connor not cutting it

Was nutter in the game for final 3 seconds?  Jared West 2.0

And I?m not talking about football .Defense and rebounding are two things they should have controlled against a much smaller team.I see the same team but now they really don?t have a go to guy.I always here Dantoni talk about Length .Bottom line, they need a play making quick guard that can open things up and get the rest of the team involved.Right now they have a bunch of tweeners.

We need to limit our 3 point shooting. Run the offense through Martin. This team is going to struggle shooting. Play solid defense and try to rebound.

Rebound? What's that?

[Flat Tire 2]

Dan first statement is "we weren't ready to play" and blames the "leadership" of the team. I didn't watch any more after that, he uses the same old excuses all the time.

Dan, it is YOUR responsibility to have YOUR team ready to play. As usual, he throws the players under the bus. Will Dan ever admit that he didn't have the team ready for the game? Also, he made the "travel" excuse. Hey Dan do you realize Radford also traveled?

We lost to Radford, RADFORD on a netural floor. If UK comes "ready" to play in our game,  it will be ugly.

Yea, he?s soft and you know it. Lol
