Maybe if they took some shots, it would loosen up the opposing defense and we could find holes. And I miss the leadership a guy like Darius James had. Obviously he was part of a great team, but it felt like he led the offense and distribution was better. This team looks so confused and scared to get open.

I remember people on the boards weren't so high on DJ when he played. Always wanted more from him.. Now, we'd KILL for DJ...

I still don't have any of these fond memories of DJ. Compared to Drew and BJ, he sucked. Yeah, compared to Delancey, he was servicable, but that doesn't say a whole lot.

Ehh I'll take a freshman Palmore over a freshman DJ. And frankly the fond memories of him just show how bad recruiting has really been.

aww leave dj alone. he had some great moments for us.

My observations/questions:

1.) How can DeShawn Painter constantly be triple teamed when he gets the ball, and yet no one is open? It's not like JMU is a defensive powerhouse? Way too much standing around.

2.) What happened to Batten? He got the start that everyone wanted him to. His contribution? 5 fouls and 0 points.

3.) The body language of the players midway through the second half of a tight game told you that they were going to lose. It's like they expected it.

4.) My 11 year old special needs daughter shoots foul shots better than these guys. Maybe Blaine should offer her a scholarship.

Or maybe we should just get a coach who can teach offense and defense and not just defense alone?

Btw we are now pushing 330 in the rpi, making us one of the 20 worst teams in ALL of college basketball.

And I absolutely promise you this, we are dead last in the entire country in money spent per win.

Blaine has the highest salary of any coach in the 300's and we also have by far the nicest arena of any team in the 300's.

So that means Blaine has officially done the single worst job of any coach in America. Sorry, this cannot be argued or disputed.

He got swept by Brady, I can't really dispute this.
