just because i'm sitting outside eating lunch on a party cloudy 80 degree day...
losses at
73, 77,78, and 85.
also, only NCA&T has scored over 73 and not won.

So when we go anti-Pearl style and slow the game down, we are more successful?

Hey, I'm for CBP, but it's obvious that this team performs when they get away from CBP's preferred style.

What he said. CBP has shown that he can coach length on defense all day long, the problem is then utilizing that length and athletic ability on the offensive side of the ball. For some reason we can only play a transition game or a super slow game. We play like a bunch of reggie millers when we get stuck in a halfcourt offense.
