Too bad we have this game after Davidson. Unlike JWU, maybe we can show our defensive improvement by holding them to a respectable score.

NC Wesleyan has averaged 62.0 points per game thus far this season against three D-III opponents.

I'm not sure how much we can learn about our defense in light of that.

This game is just a waste of time

If we put up 100+ that won't mean a whole lot but either way it's pretty irrelevant. I hate non D-I games at this stage in the season...

Coach McGrath is not a complete idiot.

Obviously what he has been doing - the defensive schemes inculcated into him under Roy Williams - just don't work with the players he has. Heretofore, it seems,he has believed that the problem has been the players' willingness or ability to execute those schemes. And to be fair, that was an open question. But now he has new players, more length, more athleticism and we are still getting lit up by everybody from Davidson to the Chefs.

In the crime fighting business, that's' what they call a "clue".

Surely, if only in the interest of saving his head coaching career, he has to be thinking that if he doesn't make systemic adjustments he will be looking for houses in Benny Mossville.

Kinda' painted himself in a corner, didn't he? Now that all the players who "never bought into his system" are gone, it's on him, right?

'system'?

I followed along sparingly on Gamecast. Anyone that actually saw the game... was that 3 pt defense better or was this team missing open shots?

Didn't watch the game, so have no idea if they were bad or if we defended well. I can't take away anything against a D3 team. Glad to see they scored under 53 regardless.
