Empty RAC

[Mikemarc]

I said this earlier in the season but I think it bears repeating, Biggest difference between this years team and last years is no one is at the RAC. The team is made up of players who absolutely FEED off the energy in the crowd and not having that this year is a huge disadvantage.

This team is in the top 5 right now if RAC is sold out. Not b/c of talent but b/c of the RAC.

They keep chucking bricks and the RAC will be empty for a long time.

Can the RAC make front ends of one and ones?

 

[Mikemarc]

no it won’t.

Lol, you’re reaching. Wisco shot terribly tonight. A packed RAC doesn’t help our shooting. That’s a laughable excuse

 

[superfan01]

What’s our excuse for when we play crappy on the road.

 

[Mikemarc]

What’s our excuse for when we play crappy on the road.

No excuse for that. We are not a talented team. Period.

But we’re a team that FEEDS off of emotion, feeds off energy, that’s the way we play.

And having ZERO energy in the RAC is a terrible disadvantage for us.

 

[Duff366]

There is the same amount of talent on this team that was ranked 12th at one point. Problem is, that talent is playing like crap right now

Missing every free throw is a terrible disadvantage for us. Wisconsin scored 60 tonight. 60!!!!!!! They went 8 minutes with one field goal.

And we went 12! Lol

I do agree no fans at RAC hurts us. However no excuse for not shooting a lick from the outside. We cannot shoot. Some of the shots from Montez, Harper, Caleb, Mulcahy were ugly.

we sucked at FTs last year too. Major disadvantage last year too. What was an advantage??!! A sold out RAC.
We don’t have that advantage this year and it’s showing big time

we can’t shoot. Agree. However we’re shooting better this year than last year.

1-correct, a full RAC this is a win. even at home we should be better on our home court. some of these games lately it seems like the visitor is shooting on their home hoop!!!!!


(((2-personally I owe you an apology. I think I was drunk a few games back and talked some unnecessary ****. I think it was you. please accept. thank you. )))

i tend to share your opinion but wanted to add Yeboah was also a huge loss. He was the most consistent shooter we have had in a very long time

 

[Mikemarc]

You’re reaching man. You’re reaching

when others have the same opinion can’t be that much of a reach

I hate using the RAC as an excuse. Every team in the country is dealing with the same thing. It's a factor, but it's a factor for everyone. Us stinking right now is a much bigger factor.

no other team in country had a bigger home court advantage than us last year.

our winning % at home was FAR FAR FAR greater than that on the road. No other tram was closes

When we don’t have that advantage our winning % comes much closer to the truth of the kind of team we really are. Not a very good one

Doesn’t explain the dog crap effort against MSU. You guys are reaching. The RAC isn’t a 20 point difference. If THAT’s the reason for the losing, then they’re just a bad team. Sorry

they are a bad team. I’ve said that since last. Vastly overrated last year BECAUSE of the RAC. I think we’d be vastly overrated again this year if the RAC was full

Yeboah was a loss..no doubt. However, seven rotation players with a year more “maturity” should be a net positive impact and it’s not. Young has made a leap and until recently so had Harper. However, no one else has. Baker has clearly regressed. Mulcahy looked good early and now looks completely overmatched. Mathis is incredibly inconsistent and pouts a lot and Johnson is the same at best. McConnell is coming back from injury, but looks like more of the same. Very dissapointing.
