Drake is over achieving but they've done enough to probably close out the game.

Absolutely no defense. You can't win games if you can't stop the other team. Also, I have never seen a team have more trouble finishing at the rim, other than the Ladies.

Thing is, the Aces are playing what they know. TL just came in last night, so yeah, it is the old game plan. Give this a week for TL to put his stamp on things.

Thoughts: Drake is a good basketball team. Every team in the conference is solid. Bradley and Drake are fully out of their rebuilds. SIU is trending in the right direction. UNI and Loyola are capable every year now. I really only seeing us beating ISU red this year.
I do agree that we lack good players. Remember, Hall, Noah, Frederking, and Kuhlman are all Marty guys. We also lack a low post presence... Williams is a 3/4 in the NBA. He would even struggle against Robbins. Finally, our three point shooters can’t make shots. It’s that simple :/ Also, heavily disappointed in Cunliffe and Hall. I guess they would be better role players when they have better teammates.

I’m seeing a few things tonight. John Hall is playing down low again. Art is playing some excellent defense in the second half.

So much for packing the Ford. Wow...pathetic. kind of like we are playing. Sad...so very sad. Yes, it's really sad. I was hoping we could almost start over tonight. Not so much. Maybe the season is lost. Wonder if big boy, Williams, is going to even dress again this year? Very bad situation. I still hope we turn this ship around, but I wouldn't bet a dime on it. I got to just start staying home.

I think we all should just come to the conclusion that we suck. Whether Williams gets back or not we just wont suck as much. Hope they prove me wrong. I will still yell and scream for them. But hit some shots for a change.

I wondered if the Bradley gsme was the bottom, then wondered if Loyola was it, then wondered ... well, is this it? Shooting 22 percent from the 3-arc ... sorry, but I don't think this is a coaching problem now.

Coming back now will serve no purpose unless he’s 100%. He doesn’t need to risk further injury.

Well, at least the Aces didn't shoot 20-25 three's tonight. They shot 29. Only problem was that only 7 went into the basket.

New coach, old coach.....I pray Lick finds 5 or 6 players who actually want to play on both of the floor and rides em until they puke. At least then we will see an effort resembling something that approaches trying to win a ballgame. As I have stated before and I will again...this team's problems go way beyond whoever is coaching. And now you know why I posted what I did in the "Pack The Ford" thread. I am all for giving Lick support...but he is gonna need a team to support. Right now...he has a very few select players to choose from that would fall in that category. Sorry..but I am calling a Spade a Spade. We are not very good and the ones we thought we could count on and would be leaders are the farthest from that.

Aces fans...you may have already watched the last games he has played as an Aces player
