I'm afraid the body language and intrasquad squabbling whenever adversity appears will seal our fate this year. It starts with our "general." Cooper, gawdy numbers aside, is no leader on the court: telling Christian to yank Keely, passive aggressively giving Keely an overdramatacized fundamentally sound bounce pass at top of the key to send the message "can you even catch this one?" is the antithesis of lifting teammates up.

Reggie should never leave the post on the defensive end.  He's just not quick enough to recover on those screens.

Get keely off the damn floor he's costed us three easy layups and fumbled two or three possessions away... I'm so fed up with the defense were running and the fact were taking these terrible shots in the first 8 seconds. I'd tear up the complete game plan Jim Christian is running and start completely over. I'm so mad i'm about to turn this game off.

He's not an idiot. This team looks like it doesn't care anymore. It has the look of a group of veterans who get a new coach and that coach lets them run the team while he waits to set his own program AFTER they graduate. It's almost like JC has told the seniors: "Ok guys, do what you want, I'm going to focus on 2014 season. I will focus on Ndour, Bean and Setty. Good luck hoisting 3's, playing NO DEFENSE and going through the motions. Are you serious? An idiot? No, you're an idiot if you think this team has anything resembling even an NIT resume!

Yea...if that is true, it's very depressing a senior heavy team has this kind of issues with each other. I've stayed away from the JC bashing but I need to see a halftime adjustment here. They are pushing our O way beyond the arc. Worst 1st half in more than two years? My green glasses just hope we are looking past these clowns to Akron because the boys know their December performance eliminated any chance at an at large bid. The guy that hit the 3 at the buzzer looks like a future convenient store employee but drains a three in our face.

a passive aggressive bounce pass is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Great band name, too. c'mon people stop being ridiculous.

We've made a habit this year out of making future extras on "Clerks 3" look good. Heck, we made MacAdams from Akron look like the next NBA 3-point Challenge champion. Look out Kyrie, here comes MacAdams. I think he bagged my groceries last week.

He and you are a total idiots if you think cooper is the issue which is what the poster was saying.

I would never rag on D.J. He is the second best player in Ohio history behind G-Trent and he will be honored in years to come with his jersey in the rafters of the Convo. I was agreeing with the idea that JC lets it go on. D.J. can't get frustrated with his teammates at all. JG would not have allowed it and it wouldn't have been an issue. I've been a JC defender all season but our inability to show up for anything resembling a big game is disconcerting. I'm here thinking right now that we won't get out of the MAC semis. I'm scared to death. I still believe in these guys, but it scares me to not be certain we'll be in the finals.

Let's see aside from not being able to hit any shots, catch the ball, not playing any quality defense , missing layup's,  a general lack of focus and being the second best team on the floor it's been a great evening
