We won a whole lot of games the last three years in "this league" and we all know we couldn't play a lick of M2M in the halfcourt. Jus sayin

Exactly. It just felt like we gave up after the first few minutes of the second half. It really did look/feel like one of our games earlier this season. We took a beating and didn't do anything to change things up in an attempt to get the W. It's even more perplexing since our game plan recently has been to mix in a lot of zone, press on made baskets, etc. It's been a successful game plan, not sure why we'd change it in the first place?

Not going with the gave up/quit crap. I get it that you don't like the coach or the team but give me a break with bashing. These players go hard and I have not seen anything to make me think otherwise. They are short on talent but not heart. Just a guess but I am thinking you never played sports at all but are a champ at telling other people how to play/coach. You seem like a smart guy but also a dude with your own agenda when it comes to UNCW basketball.

The UNCW teams of the last 3 years were an outlier. There's never been a successful team in this league that didn't find ways to get stops. Even VCU, with their pressing/trapping style, still got stops.
We beat teams the last several years because we overwhelmed them with length and athleticism. We got deflections, turnovers and wins no ordinary CAA team would get.
