Here we go guys. Thanks to our dismal performance agaisnt North Florida this game has HUGE implications. Although its still early.. we don't need to be 1-3 going into the ETSU game. Lets right the ship and grab a win today... Go Owls!

I agree Corn. We need this one. I am going to watch it on A-SUN TV.

Awful start.

We're not a very good team. I don't know if its a lack of coaching or talent.. but we struggle everywhere. The offensive strategy of "give it to Markeith and get out of the way" isn't going to cut it.

It isnt talent. I can tell you that.

Awful performance so far...I dont understand how we come out with no intensity, and I dont mean the players. Im not a coach basher but I will say our coaching staff has to STEP UP!!!! These young men still have to be coached. This is a disturbing trend that has unfortunately been going on all year!!

KSU is and has been the most undisciplined team in the ASUN. That falls on one man. Tony Ingle.

Just got back from a meeting, and went to check the score, doesn't look good...hope we turn it around.

Save the coaching critiques for your own board. It is one thing for a Kennesaw fan to criticize a coach, it is another for a fan of an opposing team. We are struggling, we don't need you to come over and pile on.

LMAO. Okay, I was giving an outsiders opinion. You have talent. I guess outside opinions aren't wanted here. Okay, bye.

I think our issues are a combo of things.. but talent is still an issue. Yes we have some talent but we are very weak inside and in my opinion (i may be alone here) we are still in dire need of a true PG. I believe we have two scholies left.. we need a PG and a banger in the worst way.

There is a difference in opinions and just flatly denigrating a coach. If I went on your board and made a similar comment about Murray I would get a much less civil response. You can't expect to make a comment like that when we are getting trounced and just float on by.

This has been a weird team to watch thus far. Markeith and Ladaris are probably our two most talented players, but they are both freshman. Our seniors have been up and down all year, and we can't seem to get a consistent flow on either end of the court. I have been a follower of the program since we were dominating DII, so I am not going to be the blame it on the coach guy.

I still think we get things turned around at some point ,but these kind of losses hurt bad. It is going to be a LONG bus ride home...

I believe Dixon does well at the point, but we have to play within our strengths...we could be one of the fastest teams in the conference if we worked hard. We dont play good defense at all...no help side or anything. I do agree we need a big recruit, but that doesnt help us this season. Guys I earnestly think we dont prepare for teams. Right now we are down 39 to a conference team. What have we been doing all week,how have we prepared? Are we proactive or reactive... we obviously have weaknesses but all teams do....Just frustrated

It doesn't matter if you have an outside or an inside opinion some changes need to made. The coach needs to define everyones role and the players need to accept their roles. Every play can't be for one player. We need to diversify and try some different things. We seem to stand around and watch rebounds go to the other team. We don't have a MEAN streak. Nobody wants to do the dirty work on the boards and I don't see anyone going to the floor for loose balls. Is this coaching or talent.

Spencer has some ability but agaisnt North Florida he played around 30 minutes with ONE assist..

We have multiple guys that make me cringe when I see them on the floor. JMac is extremely inconsistent, Gibson has one positive quality (vertical leap), and Whipple just isn't very good. I almost think Whipple has regressed.

KB you can't ship all the blame away from Ingle. I'm not saying he's soley at fault but in team sports.. your play is a direct reflection of your head coach. Its his job to bring in and develop talent. Its his job to prepare a gameplan to give us the best chance to win. Obviously some of the execution issues can be put on the players.. but thats my whole point. Its not cut and dry. Its a combo of talent/coaching. We need to do better as a whole.

Even if we run the play thru Markeith and he doesn't have a shot we need to have a Plan B. Run some some plays for the guards or your big men. Don't be so predictable. Teams are are going to try and shut down Markeith so our coaches need to be prepared and have other options that we can go to.

I may get chewed out on this board, but i actually agree with you.

Maybe we need to be more of an up-tempo team.Try to get easy baskets in transition rather than let the opposing team get set in their defense. We hardly ever get out on the fast break and beat teams down the floor.
