RE: 12/22 - Howard
I think that you tell them that some guys made some strides tonight and that they should learn to play the game to win and not to lose. We won't start winning games until we improve our 3 point shooting percentage.

Nope. Nothing tastes or sounds good right now.

Played tight at the end? Howard was 2-12. Why was this game close enough that it mattered? And, how in the world do two players knock down 30 and 40+ points in a game against us? Are you telling me there is NO game plan that could have stopped that? Are we seriously going to play man to man even if we only win 2 games all year?
I am getting to the point I will be shocked if Cacok stays. I wouldn't, and I will have nothing to say if it happens. This is possibly the worst loss I can remember as a UNCW fan.

Unfortunately 82 we seem to say this is the worst loss I can remember quite frequently this year.

The game shouldn't have been tight. Howard literally only has two players that can score. Double/triple team them. MAKE the other guys beat you.
I'm furious right now.

Not to take anything away from what we witnessed tonight, but I remember saying this quite a bit circa 2007-13

I gotta think that is a distinct possibility
If McGrath is not going to play to your strengths...

RE: 12/22 - Howard
Something is not clicking with this team. As it appears Keatts NEVER taught his players the basics of a man to man defense. None. So this is like playing an entire team composed of freshmen hot to play D1 man to man defense.

Yeah... except we didn't think it would only take 11 games to get back there.

RE: 12/22 - Howard
Actually, I take that back. We lost to Towson when they ended their 41 game losing streak under Benny. We made national news that night because their losing streak was the longest in NCAA history. So, there's that. At least we aren't on a losing streak like that.

Why would Cacok transfer entering his senior year? He would have to sit out a year.

RE: 12/22 - Howard
The point spread was only like 5 or 6 points so I knew there was a chance that UNCW could be in a game. Once they cut the lead and actually went ahead, I knew we were in trouble. This team hasn't learned to win yet and Howard knew that this was their chance. That's a completely different mindset and it makes a big difference in how tight you play. It's an embarrassment for a program like UNCW to lose to a school like that and they played tight getting outscored like 20-4 to end the game. We've seen this movie a bit now with this particular team.

RE: 12/22 - Howard
Anyone have the scouting report on Greensboro College?
Kinda hoping maybe they only have ONE legit scoring threat? Perhaps we can work up from there?

I understand that THIS TEAM hasn't learned to win, but Talley and Cacok have won before. I am starting to think this might be a leadership issue.

Sit out a year, get your degree at the new school and the come back in year 2 at the new school taking ballroom dancing or underwater basket weaving so you can focus 100% on basketball for 1 final showcase Year
I want nothing more than for Cacok to stay here and find success, but if the man in charge isn't going to play toyour strengths then you gotta do whats in your individual best interest

Easy. He could sit out while finishing his degree for the most part. After that, he has a year of ball somewhere and can take cupcake classes with no pressure.
It happens more than you think it would, actually. I think it was Drexel that had a CAA player of the year that did it just a couple years ago.

The CAA is going to exact revenge on UNCW this year. William and Mary may beat us by 50.

We played tight? I dunno man.
Howard had THREE players foul out. Which means we could have won the game at the free throw line, for starters.
On top of that. They had a player score 42, and another scored 30. That's not playing tight. That's watching two guys school you, all night. That's zero defense. The rest of their team COMBINED for 8 points. Double team. Triple team. Change the game plan mid-game when that is happening!
The last loss was "embarrassing". This loss... I don't even know how to describe it, but embarrassing doesn't do it justice. At least North Dakota State beat us with a team.
