This is completely unforgivable. I am beyond words, but nothing
more than disgust.

We'll be lucky to host the second round in the AE tourney the
way this is going (if we even make it there). We'll need a
boatload of help to make it back into the conversation for a
decent seed now. Vermont would have to lose another one
somewhere and I wouldn't count on that.

This team has quickly become pathetic . Barely shot 30 % from
the floor and 9% from 3 point range. Add in no defense another
weak game.

OK. I am always the eternal optimist about things, and I'll
continue to be so.
This is a young team. They're going to have ups and downs. We
had some glorious highs so far, and now, some valleys. It's
okay.
We've shot exceptionally bad the past two games - like, almost
fluky bad. And our turnovers have skyrocketed in league play.
It can't get worse, and we shouldn't expect it to be. We've seen
a lot of good from this team to think that it will.
It would help if Yeboah got truly 100% healthy.

That's all on the coaches.Boals needs to go back to the drawing
board and come up with a new strategy on offense. Guys with the
ball are getting doubled team in the paint and nobody coming
around to help out, thus forcing turnovers. Our deep ball is
nolonger a threat, and teams see this on film.
Saturday game against a halfway decent Hartford team is a test
to see if Boals and Ford can come up with a new game plan to
break away from this slump, or not!!!

I'm just glad I didn't travel 2 hours in the cold through
traffic to watch that pathetic performance. Had a bad feeling
something like that would happen.
Now to turn things around and get the W at home against
Hartford. They were preseason #2 in the AE, so getting that win
and keeping in the 1 seed race would be huge.

Agreed. But I, too, think as others mentioned above that
coaching was subpar last game. I have no issue with chucking
bunch of threes when falling. We just don’t have fluid movement
on the floor. Vermont showed us how organized and smooth moves,
cuts, screens, passes, patience and shot selection can easily
overcome bigger and more athletic team. While our team is young,
Boals is a young coach too. He too is learning on the job. Boals
already proved that he can recruit at upper AE level. Now he
needs to prove that he’s got Xs and Os, has solid game plan and
can outfox opposition Coach. I am willing to give him plenty of
time to grow.

in other news. the women are 16-5 and beat UMBC.
some things i'd maybe consider, as a non-bball coach. maybe
start garcia to provide some punch. get moor on earlier
especially if olaniyi is cold. give kwas a rest against teams
we can beat, IF he's really injured. get the chef back on the
floor if otchere is going to make 2 fouls in the first 10min.
generally, shake things up until we are back to normal.
nuclear option- do we look to put someone like long in for
cornish, even if temporarily, to cool him down?

I think of late that Garcia has been our best player. Would
like to see him inch up to 30+ minutes per game. We are a young
team, and Latimer has been looking like a rookie lately, Elijah
looks like he may have hit the sophomore jinx, and our leader,
Akwasi, is only playing at about 75-80%. Agree on resting
Akwasi - maybe hold him out of practices even. And yes, Chef,
who is still raw, was very active for us underneath. Give him
some minutes back. Having him sit on the pine is totally
baffling.
Biggest problem though, IMO, has been lack of a quarterback over
the last 5-6 games. PG is our weakest position right now, as it
is up to the PG to set the tempo, drive to the rim and dish, and
find the open man. Not the shot first mentality we have been
seeing of late. If you watch our last few games, it's a bunch
of guys hanging around the perimeter, with little movement, and
shooting out of rhythm. We need to establish pace, ball
movement, and cutting, to get back to where we were. Starts at
the PG position IMO. Coach Boals needs to emphasize this moving
forward.
