Drexel II

[Cluck U]

At least we held them under 80.

[Red Rooney]

Why does #3 start?

To give this team some shooting. You see what happens when Trent and Lane are the guards. They play great defense and can both slash but Drexel wisely went zone and we couldnt do anything. Or you just clog the middle in man and Davis is rendered ineffective.

The Better question is why doesn’t Inglesby do anything to get him involved offensively. Seems like he is rarely
Coming off screens and they don’t look to free him up for shots. So if that’s gonna be the case then I agree. No point in him playing because he’s not a good defender.

Has Inglesby ever won a big home game? Seems to me like every time this program has had a chance to get some
Momentum they get their doors blown in.

Not tough and can’t shoot.

Oh well, we all know how this ends.

I do hope that the university stops with the pack the Bob nonsense. As Rooney points out, anytime there is a big crowd, this program gives them zero reason to come back.

Second CAA home loss this season. Hens have lost at least three conference home games each year since MI's tenure began in 2016-17 (except COVID year when there were two CAA home defeats).

MI record in CAA home games: 38-29 (.567)

Perhaps there is a correlation with this and the lack of casual fans that attend - along with stars fleeing for better opportunities after short tenures.

Superior opposition tonight, first and foremost.

Third CAA home loss of season. That number has been reached every full-season year of MI's tenure.

MI record in CAA home games: 38-30 (.559)

The team can definitely grind out some wins but they are not good enough to compete for the CAA title from what I've seen this year. They are a middle of the pack team in a middle of the pack mid major.

I fully expect Drexel to win tonight by double digits.

The Blue Hens just aren't good enough. They don't have a capable big, no depth, and their guards are league average at best. Davis is a good player but he's not a guy who can carry the team on his back. In order to win they need Davis and Drumgoole to be on and get some real contributions from Trent, Ray, and Reilly.

Prove me wrong, Blue Hens!

Gonzo with the Nostradamus post of the year. You nailed it, buddy. This team does seem to be regressing, which isn’t good going into the CAA tournament. Incredibly disappointing.

[UDHoops]

I hope I'm wrong, but they better win tonight or 10-8 is what they will finish. I want to be wrong on this one, it's what I predicted.

Can't have faith they will go on road and beat both NE and SB. They could, but that would not be smart money.

And 8th place is possible.
Little frustrating!!!!!!!

9th is a possible avenue with a loss tonight. Unlikely, but possible. Broke down what best, worst, and middle cases could be with a win or loss tonight. Hoping I get to post the winning case scenario on my account after this one... we'll see.

Just not enough offense, as is all too frequent, especially against a pretty good team.

MI continues to not get it done, again as is all too frequent.

[Bluewyn Gold]

This is a hard team to watch, let alone to love. Pxss poor shooting from every point on the court. Two double-digit home losses in a row this late in the season should simply not be acceptable. Who's responsible for this? Can't anybody here play this game?!

Well, nobody can shoot, so let's hope Martin finds something in the portal! 10/18 from the foul line & 2/15 from the 3 pt line. Every future opponent should play zone

Where did Reilly’s game go ? This has been a lost season for him . Looks overmatched in most games . Recruiting is the main reason this season has been underwhelming . Lack of height and outside shooting puts this team at a disadvantage against too many teams . The rotation of only 7 players is ridiculous . Recruiting has to be much better .

I said it the other day and again last night Reily has regressed. Houser is well, a body but bot reliable for points ge likes to chuck up threes hard to imagine us being worse next year but real possibility with Ray and Davis gone unless somehow we can convince some folks in the portal thing about the portal is players come and go less time for team chemistry to be made as well. Luckily Davis and Rat were here a couple of years, but with the portal looking at more 1- maybe 2 year type players

[bluehenbillk]

It’s a program that’s lost in the desert with no idea which way to go. They beat Xavier and then slid the remainder of the season. Future looks bleak

The only two players who will not have eligibility next season are Ray and Trent.

Per conversations with the program, Davis and Drumgoole will not be honored on Thursday's senior night as they both have 1 year to use in the 24-25 season. Ray/Trent/Ogunbo will.

Will Davis try to graduate in the 2 summer sessions & move on like Nelson did last year?

[finpxz1]

Really hope I’m wrong, but I would be shocked if Davis is back with us next year. Have to think he wants to take a shot with a P4 team and a chance at the NCAA tournament. Just don’t see a trip to the Dance in UD’s immediate future unfortunately.
