When were we? lol
I think most of us here figured we should easily be top 4 or 5, and legitimately hoped to be 1 or 2. Certainly top 4 is still possible, but I’m not so confident any more.
We will be top 4. Maybe top 2-3. The toughest games on the schedule are to start the year.

RE: Florida Atlantic
Some ticky tack fouls for FAU at home but they still beat us regardless. They were 8 of 11 from 3 in the first half?! That's just silly.
Caver needs to turn it back a notch and be more of a facilitator. He gets frantic when he tries to force things. Need X to stop be so on and off and get consistent. Right now you just shut down BJ and hope Caver is cold and forces things.

RE: Florida Atlantic
Did the team locate BJ yet. Is he still missing? I'm worried.

Unfortunately, we cannot afford for Caver/Stith to turn it back a notch unless the defense does better than it did tonight (and opposition doesnt shoot lgbts out)

RE: Florida Atlantic
Exceptional shooting by FAU and foul trouble/turnovers cost us this game. But no excuses - bad/embarrassing loss. Some days it’s not easy being a Monarch fan. Today is one of those days. Need to rebound against FIU and then start a winning streak.

Guess you haven't watched this team at all this year. Slow start almost every game. 2nd half team.
Not happy to be right in this case, but maybe you should rethink your dbag response and stop assuming who watches the game.
You may have been right in the end but it was way too early to call that game over. Getting within 4 with a lot of time left in the second showed that.
Valid point. I’ll just chalk it up to being negative and a terrible finish to a rough day.

If you look back over his whole career, he has been very proned to do this. So, not a very big surprise to me...… very frustrating.
Our so called leaders didn't show up tonight....

When he’s hot he’s hot, but when he’s cold he’s really cold.

Insaid that before the game. We should have won, but not an easy road game. We cant win with that kind of defense/opposition shooting.
You can say it as much as you want but it doesn’t make it true.
187 net ranking.
In conference, if you want to finish top 4, you win this game. Period.
People just can’t deal with the reality that jones cannot get it done.
Season after season, excuses are made and no forward progress is made.
I don’t see us finishing top 4 this year.
Good thing we signed up for more of this crap.

Interesting post game - essentially what was said is necessary - coaching up players is vital but being prepared to execute makes a difference and our defense didn’t stick to preparation.

You cannot win a conference championship with no interior scoring.
Period.
But yeah, Kalu is the next Odell and we don’t miss porter at all.
GOT IT.

RE: Florida Atlantic
This team has tremendous potential and could easily catch lightening in a bottle in March. But they need to put two complete halfs together in one game. Hasn’t happened yet this season. We would be top 25 caliber if we could play a complete game. The team needs to take this as a wake up call and start playing for 40 minutes. One game at a time.

RE: Florida Atlantic
FAU was determined that BJ wasn't going to beat them. It worked. I'm afraid that we can expect more of the same until someone else steps up. Xavier and Kithcart did for brief spurts.
I don't know what's up with Caver. He hasn't looked good at all in 2019. Turnovers, horrendous shooting, poor decisions. He needs to get it together and fast, or we will be looking at a play-in round for the conference tournament. We have less than a month to crack the top 4.

We would really miss 1-10 from 3 . He has to stop jacking shots up early in the clock. It is not helping anything. Kithcart makes shots, maybe he needs to get those shots.

Caver had 20 points on 18 shots, which is not bad. 1-11 sucked but hit almost all of his 2s and made 5 free throws. Kitchcart is similar to Caver in efficiency, albeit with less shots. (More shots would likely mean less efficiency). Kithcart is not the shooter Caver is.
Im not sure you (and a couple other) harp on our beat player.

Kithcart needs to start, plain and simple. We need energy from the start, not when we are down 12 5 min into the game.

Caver just cannot be 1-11. Off those 10 miss 3s, we might get 3 offensive boards but thats basically like 7 turnovers. Also, how many wide open 3s is he going to miss, I mean WIDE OPEN!!!!!!

Also, why is Wade so passive when it comes to shooting unless he is within 3 ft from basket. He passes up so many open shots.

Caver has been terrible. He just keeps shooting and missing. Give Kithcart some more of his minutes.

He’s still our best option, which, really does say it all.
