Maybe because we are hitting outside shots against the zone, taking it to the basket, and ahead at the half -- on the road. All with both Stiths not having particularly good outings. We are ahead. Be happy.

We've struggled a bit defensively and had a few bad turnovers (that happens to a lot of teams on the back end of a long road trip), but we're shooting it relatively well, have shared the basketball well, and appear to be leading. What are your thoughts? What would the score have to be for you to be satisfied?

Well considering we are finally fielding a full roster, they are one of the worst teams in college basketball and are down their two best players, we should be soundly thumping this team.

We can't throughly dominate anyone (Dartmouth anyone??) because our offense is so terrible.

I can't believe anyone is happy about this performance so far. It is shocking how far our standards have dropped.

This team is as bad as any of the dregs of the caa in their worst years. Blaines teams would have thumped these chumps by 30+ easy.

Interesting that there were only 10 total fouls and 3 FTs in the first half. The refs seem to be letting them play.

You didn't answer the question. What specifically should we be doing better?

Passes have been insanely lazy this game

Now that is just not acceptable.

Not sure if we can keep Baker in.

Scoring.......pressuring the basketball, attacking the rim and crashing the glass on every miss, beating them up physically and not giving them a chance to set up their offense.

This passive offense and slow tempo is painful and keeps far too many bad teams in the game.

Yeah that's like seriously. Here, you can have the ball.

My goodness, Baker threw it right to their guy, layup for them. Holy cow! Playing down to our opponent again.

Don't look nearly as energized as last game.

Posted from mobile device. Hopefully it's coherent.

The energy seems a low right now. Maybe try some full court pressure. Refs letting them play, would be a good time.

Talley doing some things I rarely see him do. 3 point attempt and driving baseline. Neither was successful.

Getting some nice run outs

Damn. Haynes pumped up his reeboks on that one

Needed that spark . Led to another transition dunk.

Bad foul shooting rearing it's ugly head again. 2 of 7. Yikes.

Two bits says we are back in the man-to-man after the break.

And they are 6 of 7.

We are not where we should be in year 4.

PERIOD.
