I never understand the "nobody wants to face team X (App)" in the tournament. Are we really that scary right now?
Some teams are scary, we are not one of those. Even if/when boykin comes back. I think the 2 wins against the bottom feeders got our hopes up.

That was a big three there. Law of averages we should start hitting shots.

I haven’t seen a team other Marshall that I’d be afraid of in the tournament. Haven’t watched ULL.

Not sure how many of you watched the women’s game, but just about the same thing, we cannot hit shots in the lane

How was that JMU player that open on the corner 3? There wasn’t an App player within 20 ft of him.

Can’t finish at the rim, can’t shoot free throws. We play from a hole in every game.

Oh well. Another four game conference tourney stretch. What makes me feel better is the Sunbelt is a one bid league so after the regular season it’s up for grabs again come tournament time.

Laid an egg on alumni day with Cremins in the house. My hope is that Boykin comes back strong soon. He controls the flow of the offense and you can’t leave him open from deep. We need him.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about some school hiring our coach at the end of the season.

We were 5-14 from the free throw line. JMU was 12-16.

Games are won and lost at the charity stripe.

Biggest reason we miss boykin is that he can score at all levels, including ft line. x goes 0-6 with boykins minutes where boykin goes 5-6 from the line. teams can steal possessions by just hacking X. it’s tough, but we have no one else to go to down 3 guards right now. But, if you can’t hit fts, i’m not giving you minutes.

Once again, blow an opportunity to rouse fan support. And, once again crap in the bed at home.

This one hurts , for a lot of reasons mentioned above.I am not conviced JMU is better than us but they were tonight especially at the line.Xavion is a great kid and can do things no one else on either team , maybe in the league can do.The free throw issue is inexcusable .Nothing in his form or technique has changed since November.I am not saying he should be shooting 90% but his terrible technique can be fixed.If it's is , eventually he will make more than he misses . I hurt for the guy , and the team.
