I sit here today in morning for the UNLV basketball team. Its over. We all know it, it was just a matter of time before it happened. Tre Willis has that killer instinct to not let us lose but he can not do it by himself. He will have to get some help. He reminds me of Ruben Douglas when he was all UNM had. Its very sad to think he might not ever be in the NCAA tournament like Marcus Banks.
This team just lost to a below .500 Utah team. I haven't seen a loss this bad in a long time. We have lost to bad teams but never someone under .500 when we played them late in the season. I can stomach losses to UNM and SDSU those are good teams. But this loss just puts us back a lot. I cant make excuses anymore. I think we are in serious trouble and it needs to be fixed fast.
When you have players saying they are not on the same page and they are not working hard for the whole game. That spells trouble. Kruger is to blame and so are the players. He get out rebounded every game. I think we play too many guards. Those guys don't rebound and when you have Marshall, Oscar, Stanbeck and Tre all on the floor we are in trouble. Matt Shaw is a big man but a shooter and will never be down around the basket. So when you see guys like Gaston, Wendell, and Joel leave the program that hurts. Not one of these big men is like those guys. Also all three of our big guys can not catch a pass for the life of them. I saw four or five passes dropped on the floor last night and it caused a turnover or blocked/ missed shot.
We need to win every game from here on out. If we do that and win two games in the conference tourney we are out. Its going to suck. But we will be looking Utah right in the face in the first round. Its the same as last season, we had to win games that we didn't and we got left out and there is no reason to do it to us again.
If this starts to become a trend for Kruger, maybe he has taken us as far as he can. We need to be winning games at home. Once again if we would have split this four game stint we would be fine. Kruger needed to find away to get this win. If you have to leave Jones in over Marshall so be it.
so like the great Robert Montgomery Knight said!
"I'm sick and fuck'n tired of losing to Purdue (Utah)."
I now have a headache
