Just watch one of bball games and ignore the score

Boring with a capital B. I don't care who we're playing or the score we are boring to watch.
The only way to fill LJ is to play with some energy and excitement. I watched Georgia play a little yesterday. Not a very good team but fun to watch. Bring some excitement to our program and it will fill the seats even if we aren't great - provided we continue to improve.

Just my 2 cents, but I think even if we were boring but winning there would be more interest. A bunch of exciting losers doesn't do it for me either. Maybe I want too much. How about exciting winners.

What about our basketball team is boring?

We play hard, we push the tempo when we can, and we have multiple scorers on offense who can put the ball in the basket. We are competitive in virtually every game, home or away, regardless of the opponent. How is that not exciting?
Now, if you are disappointed that we don't actually WIN more of those games, I can understand that. But I do not see how anyone who has played or seriously watched basketball would find our team to be boring.

Didn't watch, didn't yell at my TV, enjoyed my day, watched Beer pound a 3-run homer over the 390 sign in center field, life is good.

I only got to watch the last 3 innings of the baseball game. I am excited about this team. Can't wait to see what they will accomplish.

I find myself yelling at the TV more with this year's team than any other year, but I don't think it's boring.

Not getting the ball inside is boring. Few blocked shots is boring. Terrible 3 point shooting is boring.
I really miss the likes of Raymond Sykes and KJ. Terrance O was a head case but fun to watch.
I know we're not that good but I feel a lack of exposiveness and energy.

i feel like we watch different teams
JB dunking after leaping to catch a lob is boring?
Shelton Mitchell taking it to the hoop and spinning it off the backboard is boring?
'Quise Reed creating his own shot is boring?
Eli Thomas posting up, making good moves, and scoring is boring?
Tigers are in the middle of the conference in blocked shots; 3rd in steals, 1st in turnover margin
this team is so much less boring than the Rod Hall-led Tigers who walked it up the court 95% of the time
this team has been tough and competitive with some really good teams: UNC, Dook, UVA, ND etc...
this team is head-bangiingly frustrating, but boring? nope

The biggest thing is especially on a weeknights people are just not going to the games.
When the whole way there you expect to lose.

What is hard to watch is USC basketball games.
That is unless you like watching tall guys shoot free throws. Their games remind me of Hack a Shaq with all the fouls. No rhythm and no flow. Hard to watch a parade to the foul line.
Carolina games have averaged almost 42 fouls a game.
