We need to apologize to Ronshad for a lot of things.
For what exactly? Other guys taking a shot every once in a while?
You're absolutely insane. Please stop watching basketball
Hey genius excluding tonight how about you take a closer look at his scoring percentages on the season. Yeah he shot great tonight. This was an anomaly. How many times has he shot us out of games with bone headed shots? But in the James harden era, who’s team is in 5th place continue to fawn over the gunning. He plays one good game and the team and app nation owes him a thousand apologies. But you know basketball. I can tell.
Thanks for having me check his stats. 44% shooting.... 36% on threes. Cool! So he’s been even better than I thought. I promise you Ronshad is as selfless as they come. He doesn’t demand the ball whatsoever in late game situations. I can assure you he’d take a seat on the bench in crunch time if it meant getting a win.

He’s given it his ALL in every game he’s ever played despite the tough times. There is a lot of blame to go around for the failure of the Fox era. But Ronshad is the last person that should shoulder any of that blame. Great player and even better person. Show some damn respect man

The season is long lost, ASU basketball is an embarrassing failure. Money aside, isn't it a better look to fire Fox now rather than losing out the rest pf the season? It's a dumpster fire.

Since only a handful of games remain there doesn't seem to be much use in making a change now. It's not going to happen until after the final game of the season. That's when Fox will be handed his severance check and told to clear out his office and turn in his keys.

We could still make the Sun Belt Tournament and theoretically, have a chance at the NCAA Tournament. We wont be elimnated this weekend no matter what results happen. Might as well let Fox finish the season.

The "good" news is that all the teams that we need to catch in order to make the SBC tourney lost as well. We could have gone a long way to putting ourselves in a better position with three games left with a win.

Once again down the stretch we can't convert our opportunities. Someone who has made 5 shots from behind the arc all seasons misses one and on the next possession turns it over and just like that the game is out of reach.

It's almost like we follow the same script each game. Fall behind early, come roaring back, and find away to lose late. A last place team usually gets blown out most games but we just seem to come up with new ways to falter down the stretch. It truly has been a season of what ifs.

Yea I agree with you Hap, that we don’t look like a last place team.... and yes I know you are what your record says you are too. It was nice to see Shabazz get off last night but I also think it sucked all the other offense out of the rest the of our players... particularly, late in the game. They were “looking” for him instead of getting open and having good movement without the ball. It is much easier to cover one guy than three. Forrest was busy all night covering the Erkle kid and for the most part it reduced his offense significantly. Also Issac Johnson was a beast on the boards and did his best to take the ball deep and tried to get fouled but few got called and he missed most... also he had a couple of bad possessions late in the game that hurt. I also agree we still have a shot at making the SBC tournament but boys you have finish the game strong!

The only way we can avoid a 20 loss season is to win the entire enchilada. Sad. So very sad.

Coach Fox should be allowed to finish the season with his team. He has earned the right to honor his seniors on Senior Night next week (Sat., March 9). He deserves to be able to finish the season with his team and then move on to the next chapter of his career depending, of course, on the HR decisions that may have been made by, or are yet to come from, ASU's AD and Chancellor.

Most dyed-in-the-wool-bleeding-only-black-and-gold-App-State-fans have been extremely disappointed by the small crowds and the too few and too far between wins of the last six seasons.

I'm betting that no one is more disappointed than our coaches and players and the entire athletic department staff that know our coaches and players on a personal level and respect them for their efforts as ambassadors of the App Nation.
