RE: Cats Win -- Cats Win -- Cats Win

We lost tonight because we didn't play defense.  How many times did they
have an easy shot or a backdoor cut?  That is something that should
NEVER happen.  As frustrating as shots not falling is defense is
something that should always be there!  I disagree with those that think
this team has no talent, it has as much as some of the other "down"
years we've had, this team has absolutely NO heart, NO leadership,
nobody that is willing to say win or lose I'm going to carry this team
the rest of the way.  I would be willing to accept these losses if they
would give it everything they had.  Work hard for 40 min. every night
out.

Do you really think Memphis is the best team you have seen this year?? I
think we beat ourselves in the second half, Memphis did nothing as far
as
stepping up their game, we just looked clueless on offense.

We didn't lose by 19 because of how well Memphis played, we lost by 19
because of missed dunks, missed jump shots, the inability to hit a few
stick
backs off of some rebounds.

Oh yeah, who is this Tony Barker guy? I am all for playing the freshmen
more. Despite Chadd's defense (giving up wide open threes), I would
still
like him out there for 10-12 minutes a game just to change the pace on
offense. As for Barker, I would rather not beat a dead horse and drag up
that topic again. There are plenty of other things to complain about.
