New low for the basketball program. Losing by 30 to a team in
the bottom quartile of D1 teams. 25% from 3, 8 assists to 17
turnovers, outrebounded 30-23, shot 55% from the line. There is
nothing this team does well. Geno and Shawn can make the injury
excuse as long as they want but when they keep giving D1
scholarships to non-D1 quality players, this will be the
results.

If this season ends how i think geno is gone no rational AD can
justify keeping him. New conference reboot the program get a
young hungry P5 assistant.

Ouch- really rough start to the year for hoops. I'm willing to
reserve judgement do to the injury issues but want to see this
team when at full strength. If this performance continues, time
to hire a coach with ties to NYC which is what the team lost
after Pikiell left. Going down the Ohio pipeline really hasn't
paid dividends so far.

Only positive I saw today was Aaron Clarke participated in
practice. Maybe he'll return sooner than conference play?
We might lose by 30 to Yale at home December 3rd, who beat
Vermont this week 73-44 :o

trying to find positives here... not much to work with. the
product is a far cry from 5-6 years ago.
i feel bad for the players. they're working hard. but if we
lose to a div III team next week we may be looking a 3 win
season.
the campaign isnt over but in some ways, it already is. so, as
a non-coach, isnt this the time to maybe experiment? tossing up
ill timed. low % shots hasnt worked for us, ever. yet, we
continue to do it, and lose lose lose. why not go out there and
pound the ball next week, limit perimeter shots to maybe 12, or
until after 3-4 passes, etc. and see what happens.
forget injuries. i aint the coach but if the staff isnt going
to review the analytics AND adapt, then i'll at least do the
analytics:
sarvan- you're 6'10" and 80% of your shots are behind the arc.
and you're shooting 50% from 2. do it more.
fitzmorris- you're 19/24 from 2. so every single possession,
you're on the court, and you get the first pass into the post.
tanajh- you're 9/17 from 2, yet 2/14 (.143%) from 3. figures
are small but maybe the writing is on the wall.
rocco- you havent taken a 3, and also, hit 50% from the field.
so i start you and pass you the ball in the post.
and so forth.
we shoot 28% (46/163) from the arc. that's 20 misses per game,
or 1 per possession minute. now go watch an ACC game. does
that happen? maybe, but if it does, they either work
inside-out, or fight for the rebound, and don't stand there
watching their brick, or stop shooting after 6 consecutive
misses, etc. try something different, this is the opportunity
to do it.
put another way- our outside shooters are simply not as good as
they think they are. and they're certainly better than me! but
stats are what stats are. and the shortfalls continue to pile
up.
GO SB

Injuries or not, the only acceptable explanation for why a team
from a major pubic university with good funding, facilities,
location etc. would be in such shape is when a program is in the
first couple of years transitioning from DII to DI.

SBU’s statement sums it up: “There is nothing this team does
well.” To lose by 30 to FIU and Eastern Washington is
embarrassing, roster woes be damned.
I do feel for the players and, yes, Geno, which isn’t to say I
like him or think he’s good. It’s just an impossible situation.
There are no answers to be found anywhere. Our bench is bar none
the worst in D-I. I was thinking that, ordinarily, Muratori,
Roberts and Pettway are the last three guys off the bench. Now
they’re the first three. TO needs a year of seasoning as most
freshmen do; I think he’ll be fine? We have big guys who can’t
rebound. And my fears about Policelli’s limitations have come
true. 12 points in three games for somebody who was supposed to
be an anchor of our offense—not good.
I’m curious what these crowds look like at home. Do
students/fans pay attention to wins and losses or at they just
happy to get out? Not going to lie—SBU for $6.31 beats the
Nets/Knicks for $100—but it’s real ugly right now. The worst
it’s been in a long time.

Team is starving for a PG. Fitzmorris Sarvan need to actually
try and rebound and defend . Policelli is playing abysmal rn
slumping he is a solid player when surrounded by other creators
we have none. Not really sure what else this team can do the
bench doesn’t exist. Kaine roberts is not a division one player.
30 point losses to bad teams is a recipe for disaster morale
wise.

The leading scorer tonight only shot 5 FG's.. There's a serious
offensive problem, which starts and ends with the guards. They
were not severely out-rebounded (30 for EWU vs 23 for SBU, 7 OR
vs 4 OR) but EWU took 16 more shots. On top of that, we can't
shoot free throws. We can't shoot 3's. We can't take care of the
ball in general.
At this point.. just put the two bigs on the court at the same
time and see what happens. What do they have to lose?
