I don't know what has happened to Falden, but he's got to quit being a ghost for such long periods of time. Without Molson this team needs one of these older guys to step up.

So surprised and disappointed by our play.

They made a nice run to get back into the game but the free throw shooting just killed them. They have missed 12! That has to get better.

So bad.

Tough to watch. I was really excited for the heights of this team but I need to revaluation my expectations.

layups and free throws, we suck at these.
losing Molson for the year doesn't help.
we're not a very good basketball team right now.

Knee in last game.

Embarrassing performance at home. College teams go home to get better and build momentum. JMU goes home to get worse and trash the season. 1-3 in the homestand.

Somehow the Dukes let a 6’7 role player put up 22 points on an assortment of layups against our sissy soft interior D. He came in averaging 4.5 points per game.
Is this the lowest turnovers JMU had caused all year?

Coach has some ‘splainin’ to do
The new car smell on a $100 million Arena only lasts so long. Feels like it is being wasted away

now way the arena has been wasted, it the corner stone of getting to a stable top 100- program

I don't expect Byington to explain anything right now

I do expect Byington to recruit a ####ing center

We need at least 3 more guards.

The Definition of a Center In Basketball?

1. A center in basketball traditionally plays close to the rim. The center is typically the tallest player on the team.

On a basketball court, centers often occupy an area known as the low post or block. This is an area on the outside edge of the free throw lane that’s close to the goal and is denoted by a large rectangle on the court. The Center often leads a basketball team in rebounds.

This definition came from Google if it helps

Free throw shooting needs to get better in the long run, but in the short term, it is what it is. The size of the team also is what it is, as is only having a few really good three point shooters.

Court awareness needs to be fixed ASAP, and it seems to alternate game to game whether we have good awareness on the offensive end or the defensive.

Most importantly, I'm not sure what happened to the intensity we had all of last year and before the break this year. The team I saw play Mason and UVA would have rather died than take a defensive possession off. Is it lack of focus, being too tired after the time off, or something else?

I was being sarcastic about the guards. Ive said this l season starting at the beginning of the season. The team lacks any interior presence and got owned inside in this game and prior ones. That's on the coaching staff for recruiting the way they did.

Have the postgame press conference clips been posted anywhere?

I never read why Strickland didn't play[/align]

Strickland is hurt, but coach hasn’t revealed specifics. He did say after the game vs CoC Strickland came out early and told coach he couldn’t play anymore.

I didn’t watch today, as I decided I can’t watch anymore after tuning into the Elon game recently. Seems we’ve regressed a good bit (or maybe weren’t as good as some of us thought to begin with). Either way, disappointing and hope Coach By can turn things around soon.
