Sergio Rouco is a former head men's basketball coach at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. He was fired after the 2008–2009 season... (wikipedia)
He had some phenomenal games and some that weren't so phenomenal. He wasn't as consistent as last year, and we couldn't afford for him to be inconsistent.
We just can't get guys to make plays at the end of games. We haven't put a whole game together this season where we make enough plays to win.
We clawed. This is the way we win games, playing defense.
We're not a very good shooting team. But we can hold people to 50. Once our shots start falling, we will beat teams by more points. Offense is going to come; you are going to make shots. What you can't do is take a day off on defense and we don't.
We haven't had the type of year that we expected. We had some bad luck, but when we had opportunities to close games, we didn't get it done.
When you invite everybody, it gives a team like ours a breath of fresh air. We have a chance to salvage a disappointing year if we can inspire our kids to put it together.
They made plays and we didn't. It was that simple.
I am proud of my kids, hanging in there and we have won two league games in a row; it is very hard to win two in a row in this league. We are looking forward to a couple of days off and getting back to work against Western Kentucky who is the top dog in our division.
