Great quote! One of my favorite movies as a kid !!!! Just don't get blown out. We are going to have Killings for the next 2 years. Don't want to see the team completely fall apart and not be able to keep at least some of the core guys.
-
They played absolutely fine. Huge personal flaws with this team. (And every team with Killings). Unfortunately there needs to be a change. Either with the coach or the philosophy.
-
Some quick observations: 1) Killings has not done a good job this year , but he did an excellent job with the week off. Significantly better ball movement . Better defense. All coaching there. 2) How the heck did NJIT beat Vermont? They are not good. 3) They don't need to win but I want to see them be more consistent these next 7 games. Show some growth and coaching . 4) There needs to be an update on Beagle. If he is off the team just say so. Someone needs to ask the question and get an answer. This is ridiculous.
-
There is a shot we will be 9th again the year. If that's the case there needs to be a change.
-
$$$$$ is the reason he keeps him. BK is owned around 800K for the next 2 seasons . UA will not pay that and a new coach. Unless of course you have 800K lying around. My opinion is fire BK and give Jim Whitesell a very modest raise and give me 2 years to turn it around.
-
We will be lucky to win 2 more games. Bad team. Bad coaching. Poor hire.
-
While I have not been his biggest fan, I believe a trip the "final 4" warrants a contract extension.
-
State school ....no cash ... fire Killings and give the Buffalo coach a two year deal. He had success at Buffalo. I'm sure he would take a very modest salary to be given a head coaching job again.
-
I disagree about the 6-7 guys. If you can't play defense then you can't play for me. Keep the guys who play defense. If they all walk, I don't care. 2 years left after this year with Killings.
-
have tried this year to only comment after the game. So that I can watch the whole game and make my assessment then. However, this team is HORRENDOUS on defense. They don't want to play it or care to play it. Newton is a 10 minute a game guy tops ....tops.... they need to play extremely small and run without Beagle.
-
Want to hear about Beagle before I say anything
-
Sounds right. The only other thing they could do is fire Killings this year and give the assistant ex Buffalo coach a modest raise for 2 years. That's the only other way I can see a coaching change happen.
-
I believe this is Killings 3rd year of a 5 year contract. No way we are eating 2 years. No shot. Unless it's for cause.... Killings is not on the hot seat because we cant afford it.
-
Hoping for 8-8 on the season. Next year is a huge year for Killings. I have really seen nothing that makes me want to keep him.....Yet ........

There are multiple reasons that could take 3 pages to write . The main an quick ones are : Alumni : a ton of alumni stay in the captial region . Longer playing D1 with more major success. The arena: Awesome arena for a midmajor program . They have been playing there a while. Most of their fan base is extremely old. If they don't start winning again they will draw next to no one in the next 10 years. We have been bad for 5 year or more now. If we start to win the people will come. With the best stadium in the AE we have no excuse. The next step is setting up an NIL.
-
UH did not shoot well but I think it was because of UA. We did something this game we have not done all year. We play pressure defense but we were hedging the high ball screen. (Absolutely terrible at it. Constantly out of position and chasing. ) Today we switched on the high ball screen. This allowed us to stay in front of the defender and contest shots. Good game play today . I hope we continue to switch.

mbb 2023 Game #19: 1/20/24 - 7PM vs Bryant

We are 2 levels below the top teams. I always expected a .500 conference record at best. Any more than that is gravy. I truly believe defense is all effort. We don't have it. Need to find a coach and a team to buy into it. -

Albany got every break/ call in the first half. If they expect to win the game UML can't shot 60 percent from the field in the 2nd half. -
I do feel bad. Unfortunately he made his bed and now has to lay in it. And I have absolutely no problem watching him lay in it.

Anyone know what happened to Little ? Hurt? Discipline? -
I would imagine Burkett was told he will be given every opportunity to start. We will probably be QB1 on the depth chart to start. What he does with it and up to him, but I doubt he will just be handed it.

Good win on the road. We scored 79.... but it seems if we get to 80 we win. -
I mean this with the most respect. I did not think there where 30 or 40 cars at the game. That's awesome for the women !

I see an 8-8 conference record. That would be the best we have seen in years. Unfortunately given the new NCAA rules, I believe Beagle and at least Thomas are gone after this year.
