No prob. You just have to deal with the commentators unless you mute it. The color guy constantly says the word hedge...

Your starting lineup: Chester Frazier, Trent Meacham, Demetri McCamey and Mike Davis. This is the sixth consecutive game Bruce Weber has gone with that lineup.

Stop d*cking around with the ball! The lazy passes are killing us.

These are the kind of games where having the 3 guards hurt us on the boards. Also way too many turnovers again.

If nothing else, seeing us winning by 7 at half where 25 out of our 30 points were scored by underclassmen makes me excited for the future.

If last years team couldn't close games, this years team just refuses to pull away from teams.

Dec 6 2008, 12:08 PM
McCamey needs to stop trying to force passes that aren't there.
He is playing like a mental midget a la Randle/Frazier (last year).
Wes Mantooth
Dec 6 2008, 12:09 PM
I missed the 1st half but Meachem is ice cold.
Wes Mantooth
Dec 6 2008, 12:10 PM
Is it just me or has Frazier improved his 3 point shooting significantly?
Bravo Chester.

Dec 6 2008, 12:11 PM
There we go Trent.
That's a 3! 42-30 Illini.

I'd be happy with Chester just taking a few open 3-point attempts a game, and hope he hits one or two of those. That's it.

It's not mine, by the way. I always try and search on justin.tv when we cant get the game anywhere else. We got lucky with this one, relatively okay quality.

How does he not hear the fans counting down the shot clock? Once again not even a bad shot attempt. I don't understand it.

He's one of our better creators on offense this year..
I have a hard time believing he's a "*&^%ing moron" when he's third in the country in APG..
I know he hasn't been an offensive contributor in his first three years here, but the piling on of Chester Frazier is unbelievable to me.
No one I've ever seen in O&B has given more for the name on the front of the jersey.

Dec 6 2008, 12:22 PM
I'm really liking a lineup next year of:
Jr-McCamey/Jr-Legion/Jr-Davis/Jr-Tisdale and 1 of: Keller/Paul/Bertrand/Richardson. The other 3 will be solid bench contributors along with Semrau (R-Jr) and possibly Cole (Jr) and Simpson(R-Fr) and Griffey.
I think that could be a Sweet 16 type team with the chance to be even better in 2010-11 with Richmond and Head coming in. Woah that could be a powerhouse of a team.

Shocking fans get pissed at a player for not even shooting before the game or shot clock expires. I mean, the fans are counting it down for him and he just dribbles or holds it.
Regardless of his other play, that's just awful.

mccamey started out on fire. gets gassed. weber takes him out. then, he disappears for a good 20 min. blah.
still, you can see the talent. that last jumper he made was money.

Dec 6 2008, 12:26 PM
While true Wes, calling him a moron is ridiculous.
One awful play does not define who he is or what kind of basketball player he is.
marv
Dec 6 2008, 12:26 PM
That's fine. You can hate on him for that play. But a f*&^ing moron? Frazier is WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT the emotional leader of this team, not to mention his defense, A/TO ratio, and hustle.
I just don't get how you could have watched the games this year and not see all that, regardless of how many PPG he has.
It's not just the people in this thread -- people hate on Chester all over this board.

We need another big Horace Grant type PF or we are going to get beat up by the ACC and SEC teams, not to mention the B10 teams.

We throw away like every third pass. It's really, really strange how often we throw the ball to no one.

If Chester is really banged up, why is he still in the game here? Let him heal and give some minutes to Jordan.
