Out-rebounded 23-15 in the first half. That’s a big part of why the score is what it is. I like our chances in this game if we can attack the boards in the second half. Clearly we are missing Bol and Rand.

It's almost impressive how horrifically bad this team is at shooting. It’s almost impressive how bad this team is at EVERYTHING.

I may have to give up having ANY expectations for this program for the time being. Give them any level of good expectations, they find a way to muck it up.
EVERY FING TIME.

The refusal to play Franklin more than 5 minutes in a half pisses me off. He’s the best rebounding player who isn’t a 5 for us. Rebounding is always an issue, I guess he should just sit on the bench then?

Crowd size today? Cheerleaders? Band? Student crowd is basically zero. General admission is looking very solid. Prob 2,000+ John Jay might be the only student here.

Rebounding is always an issue, I guess he should just sit on the bench then? I’ve liked what Franklin gives us when he is out there. It took a few games to get the rotation set last year, so hopefully we will see more of him.

Also, no Erik Pratt in the first half.

So far this year we've given up 40 points in 6 of the 9 halves of basketball against D1 competition, and one of those halves we gave up 39. (against Providence) The other two were in our last game.
Last year, by the time we started Horizon League play, we'd given up 40 points in only one half of basketball against D1 competition, and that against Purdue.
If I were a poor shooting team, I'd be praying for their turn against us...

If I were a poor shooting team, I'd be praying for their turn against us... Furthermore defensively against us, they can just clog the paint with a big 6'10 or taller and play against the 3.

Finally! This is the team we all expected to see this year. Loving the defense. KP looking good. Offense unselfish and people hitting shots. Damnit buppie05. Look, we all want ("fetch to happen") this team to play like a fearsome beast but it hasn't happened yet. Will it yet this season? I sure hope we can play 40 minutes of decent shooting and defense by the middle conference/end of the season. Else 16-14 KenPom prediction looks generous. Gotta make hay some way... (in the HLT, we ain't getting an at-large 😜😂) The age of automatic bids to Madness may be ending sooner than we think. Maybe another sloppy but victorious second half climb back? This team... I dunno. Rotations? Almost nobody is playing great. Least not consistently.

BJ's cringing. His back is bothering him.

I'm calling game. I'm less sure this team is going to win even 10 games now.
Welcome to the real world of D1, Bart.

Allowing this many offensive rebounds is strictly an effort and hustle problem. A complaint I often had during the Baldwin era. This is pathetic.

Is Pratt hurt? Suspended?
