Short Wrap Up: MBB Loses at Miami

BG lost their 8th straight last night, all but cementing a second straight year in the bottom four.  This is a team BG handled at the Stroh and led by 3 at the half.  That did not last long.  Miami tied the game 4 minutes into the second half and then took the lead with 14 left and led for the remainder of the game.  Once the lead got to 5 a couple minutes later, it was never closer than 6 again and over 10 for most of the time.

The RedHawks scored 48 second-half points.  Coach Huger said that we had no "pride" in our defense and we played "like it didn't matter whether you win or lose."

If that was the synopsis once in a while, fine.  But it is almost every game with this team and this Coach, in his 8th year at BG.  It's very discouraging.  I will tell you this, Coach sounded tired and a little beaten during the interview.  Things have gotten to a place that he can't seem to influence and it has to be hell.

Not much need to go through the whole thing here. It was a listless effort against a team we should be more competitive with, at least. In a 15-game schedule, to date, BG is 9 games out of first.

    This team doesn't seem very good at basketball.

    If I ever had the ability to bet against BG you could see last night coming from the moon.

    So the questions now are does Coach Huger survive this and if he doesn't, what kind of coach is next? Young and hungry or older and trying to claw back up?

    If Huger is the head coach next year it would vaporize an already dwindling and fragile fan base. We should concurrently announce our relocation to DIII if that were the case, because any pretense of striving for a winning, competitive product would be extinguished. I'd take Bryan Hodgson, who recruited the great Buffalo teams and is an up and comer, but I'd also look at Jim Christian, who knows exactly how to win in the MAC.
