I'll add to my previous comment. I think Ingram can be a good player and realize he's been playing 4. But he's playing out of position due to lack of depth and is naturally a wing player.

I agree nate... at least last night. We were pushing the tempo off of rebounds, and we STILL couldn't break 60 points. It wasn't "oxen-ball". It's just amazingly bad shooting. 37.5% in the second half. Only 17 field goals for the game.

Check out the post game video. Never seen PM that angry except at Osborne back in the day.

It is probably worth watching PMs post game video on the website. He was pissed. It sounds like the same refrain as two years ago.....playing to lose....no alpha dogs......and he really put the owness on the players in the last two defensive possessions. I thought that they had played gritty defense all night....but as Coach pointed out up 4 and we foul 25 feet from the hoop with a hand check stopping the clock, giving tem an easy two points and then on the last possession we came off the corner shooter after coach said they had just talked about that in the time out.
Ultimately this team has line-up deficiencies but has some talent as well. If they are going to win they unlike a Kentucky or a Maryland cannot afford to make many mistakes.

ON a brighter note I got to meet Donte Ingrams mom and she was a very sweet lady and very, very disappointed. I think we have to keep in mind that these are good kids who do care and from what I saw last night are really trying I am guessing are hurting a ton after that loss. So I am just gonna keep rooting for the Ramblers. No time limit on faith...just choice.

Natey-Waitey, you have read this many times before, but once again I* have been a RAMBLER fan since 1947 !!! I am now wising up. LUC MUST get off their respective chairs and get our team back to the top. Maybe our new President will do just that--It will take $$$$$ but it can and should be done.
We need a new coach, better athletes and a receptive fan base which will come by the way if we make the first move.
These are good kids, Coach Porter is a good man BUT LUC and they are falling short, way short.
----As an aside, when he got rid of the "frozen foot" crowd, I really thought he was on his way--Sadly not.

Coaching has always been the knock on Moser. That's why ISU let him go, he recruited some terrific talent, but never achieved anything with them. I'm obviously an outsider and maybe there are things going on with the team I'm not aware of, but you guys should not be struggling this bad. I know I had you as a top 3 or 4 team this year. But Thursday is staring at you right now.

I want to see you guys succeed.
