It’s early??? This is year 8 for crying out loud!!! This same $&!@ has been happening ever since he got here. Nice guy but I just don’t see enough intensity or toughness, which has to rub off on the kids. Super frustrating!!!

MI is not being let go. Lordy.

I’m frustrated with this loss but we could easily be and should be 7-1.

I trust the staff to fix the issues but so far early in the season my concerns are:

1.Outside shooting - when you have Ray, Davis, lane, Trent and Reilly starting, there is only one outside threat. Trent and Lane need to stop shooting from outside the lane , throw Ray in there as well.

2. The great perimeter D I saw at start of season has disappeared. Something needs to be adjusted. Whether it’s a zone or stop switching, I don’t know.

3. We have no rim protector. I like Houser but it’s clear he is a defensive liability. Emory physically appears to be still not ready so we have another year of Davis and Ray.

4. Back to shooting. Drumgoole is the other “outside threat” and he is a volume guy. We need Bethea to get back ASAP and be that second shooter.

IF these losses were to UMBC, Del st etc, I’m very concerned but we played 3 teams who would challenge for CAA title. Unfortunately we lost all 3 games.

We aren’t getting an at large so use the OOC to tweak and fine tune for CAA play

Um, relax. I meant it’s early in the season.

Coach is not going anywhere, at least no right now. However, I do think this team is talented enough to make the postseason, even if just the NIT, so will be a massive x mark against him going for season number 9 if we don't make anything.

Need to learn to share the ball a bit better also.
