Drake Preview and Game Thread -- 12/29/2016

Well, we played great for six minutes. Too bad we completely fell apart in the middle of the second half.

This brings back so many bad memories of Horizon league days. Teams on the verge of great things, only to lay an egg against the worst possible team.

This loss is infuriating. But you gotta hand it to Drake for playing the game of their lives. Hopefully we use this loss as motivation to get our shit together and get better.

I watch a lot of basketball for West Coast youth since I blog during the club season. I will say Loyola plays very selfish. I have noticed this but it's been working for them until now as it is finally starting to show. It reminds me of several teams during the summer that go one on one. Rambler ball is best when the extra pass is made. This was a very selfish game played by Loyola. I want to see this team do well but I don't expect much difference if this is the game plan. I believe the sharing of the ball starts with the Coach. I know you Loyola fans LOVE Moser BUT is starts with the Coach. The Coach has to see the one pass and shoot or the one pass and drive with your head down and hope for a bail out or the no pass and dribble all the way up the court regardless if team mates are running the floor. I guess I just expect more out of Chicago ball. (sorry for all the run on's)

I just wanted to share a little of my take since I don't have a horse in the race.

We had a 19-2 run because we decided to play defense. But even a 19-2 run didn't give us the lead. Because we didn't play defense from the get-go.

I haven't gotten that impression of this team at all this year. I've watched a team pass and move the ball very well. The defense (or lack thereof) is what did them in tonight.

Typical.

Sorry Gang !! I truly feel badly for our team--Drake exploited our glaring weakness--We are just NOT big enough !! The MVC now knows how to beat us ! We score NINETY EIGHT POINTS and LOSE !! I really thought e could run teams off the floor--This night we could not !!! AGAIN, it appears that we are JUST TOO SMALL !!
