“I feel sorry for fans. They wanted to get behind us. You could feel energy in bldg pick up. That was our chance, & it didn’t last." ~Jans

And that is that. The BG MBB season is over, ended with a terrible, blow out loss at home to Canisius. I thought Coach Jans was very good on the post-game show. As seen in the quote above, he said BG had fans in the house (not a ton) but that we were ready to give the team a lift, but the team never provided the opportunity. He also said that he told his team three times that the fans had "paid good money" to watch them play.
Coach also said that Canisius was more excited to play from the very beginning--which was very evident--and he seemed very disappointed. Todd Walker tried to get him to start talking positively about the season, but it was clear he was in no mood, saying that it would be at least a few days before he could think like that after such a disappointing loss.
I'll look ahead to next season and do some season recaps as time moves along here. It was certainly a much better season than expected, but BG is far from out of the Orr woods as we look ahead without Clarke, Henderson and, of course, Holmes.
Last note. Coach said Holmes has not been himself since the incident in Buffalo. He said Holmes has been fighting with trainers and doctors to play--and I assume they medically cleared him anyway--but that he has not been 100% since the injury against the Bulls. In addition, Delvin Dickerson DNP today.
