i don't get why the first two games on thursday aren't on ESPN, why would they rather show world series of poker reruns? is it something to do with a contract agreement with the NFL? 11/19/2007 10:22:06 PM |

The defense has to play for real. When shots are not falling, defense has to keep the other team at bay and has to get defensive rebounds. 11/19/2007 10:22:27 PM |

i bet we lose this game unless Fergie gets booted from team 11/20/2007 11:43:21 AM |
GenghisJohn bonafide 10252 Posts user info edit post |
you all can keep bashing on Fergie if you like, but come ACC time he'll be ready, and you'll be singing a different tune
Can you all not understand how important game experience is? Fergie didn't get to play too many minutes last year, and when he did it was against ACC opponents. Let him get warmed up, let him have some off games, he'll hit his stride and figure out what to do. Sid has been glowing about him and his practice performance, so I think we can bear through a few more sub-par performances. Fergie didn't cost us the game against NO, that's on the team, so people just need to get a paper bag before they hyperventilate. 11/20/2007 12:18:05 PM |

Lowe:
"The thing I've told our guys is we don't have a set starting lineup. All the positions were open and they are still open. As Ben progresses and works and continues to be the Ben that we know, certainly starting is in the picture for him. We're going to put the best lineup out on the floor. I didn't promise any of these guys anything except I want to win. I want to win. The guys that are playing well, playing hard, playing the right way, those are the guys that are going to play."
"Having said that, sometimes that sixth man is more important coming off your bench than starting. I don't know who that guy is. I'm not saying that's Ben's role or is going to be his role. Right now, at this point, it is, and he has to play the way we know he is capable he can play. He will... I'm not concerned about Ben at all because he plays hard every night. Certainly starting is there. If he works his way back in there... and that could be at four or five. It doesn't matter. We're just going to try to put the best lineup on the floor."
"Ben is a solid player. I think he's making the adjustment to coming off the bench and not trying ot put too much pressure on himself to get it going right away. He knows that when he comes in the ballgame we're going to look to go to him. He was our major guy inside last year, he's an excellent passer, he works hard on the defensive end, and we just want him to play the same way. He was very successful at it last year and I think he'll do the same this year." 11/20/2007 1:46:57 PM |
