Sure glad I didn't go to Jonesboro
We are absolutely terrible. I'd have to go back and look, but is that the worse loss Foley has had here, even with the team he inherited? I was totally embarrassed today. To get beat that bad by another Sun Belt team, and especially by ASU. We'll be lucky to make the tournament the rate we're going. I told Doc we weren't a good team, but he wouldn't believe me. We can't count on any of our players to even show up in some games. I don't even remember Middle Tennessee beating us that bad. Just imagine if Will and Hagin has the game that Gault and Ford had today against ASU tonight, it could be bad. Must not have played a lick of defense. No doubt ASU is much better than they've been the last few years, but to get beat by 32 is embarrassing. And it was a 37 point game with about a minute to go. Foley has some work to do, and it starts with recruiting better players. I'm just calling a spade a spade.

RE: Sure glad I didn't go to Jonesboro
We must have really played some defense today. I think I heard Phil Elson say we held ASU to 57.7% shooting. Now that's defense. Sure glad I had already decided to boycott the tournament because the new commissioner **** on Hot Springs and moved the tournament out of there before the contract expired.

Good thing I stayed at home, too. It appears that our 7-year reign as queens of the Sun Belt are all but over. What's more, we stand to have our first losing record since the 2005-06 campaign. Time to rally around our ladies, folks, especially myself. We all need to let this team know that we are solidly behind them and support them, whether we're there in person or not.

RE: Sure glad I didn't go to Jonesboro
After seeing them play in Atlanta, I thought this is not your typical Foley team. Other than Gault, there is not really any player that impresses me and she is streaky (excluding Cobbins since she is injured). Looking at the current year stats, this is probably the worst shooting Foley team since I began following them when Love was a freshman. They are shooting 28% for 3s and 40% FG. As I said after the GSU game, Foley is going to have to recruit some shooters for next season.

I was thinking about going there or to Ruston tonight but only had 30 hours in Little Rock before flying back out so just stayed home.
With JW being the 3rd scorer wn just does not have chance.
