I am pulling for this coach and team but I have to question the use of timeouts. How do you NOT call timeout down one with 30 seconds left? And how do you call timeout down by two with two seconds left knowing it's impossible to get a good look?

I couldn’t see if it was a coaching call for the TO or a player?

In the post game with Mike V, coach said he wanted to call the timeout with 7 or 8 seconds left but the guys gave up back to back offensive rebounds on Del’s FT misses.

I agree though. If I’m coach there, I yell to all the guys “No timeout, Go!”.

Who knows. Doesn’t matter much now.

On to Drexel. Pack that one up and forget it.

Let’s beat the Dragons on Tuesday.

It was an improvement for sure I give credit for that, they have to learn ho to finish. The fact they were in position to finish is a frantic improvement. Let’s see what happens next

I would have had Gary in at the end of the game. He plays under control and makes great decisions with the ball. We truly looked frantic and scared on our last 3 possessions. As they say, we don't know how to win yet. Hopefully it will come. But, it has to start with calm guard play in the clutch and getting off a good shot. Cacok fouling out and being in foul trouble is killing this team. I was thrilled to see so much zone, and we defended really well when we played zone. Good job by McGrath. I'm afraid we need to play more, if for no other reason than to keep Cacok on the court. We would have won that game if he'd have been on the court those last 3 possessions NO WAY Delaware gets three rebounds o'ff missed FT's with Cacok on the block.

I'm more concerned with the earlier possession. The team looked confused and we could have held for the last shot or at least very close to it. The team did play better defense.

And for the record it’s NOT that I don’t like CB I don’t like going from a borderline top 25 team to a bottom 20 team. They improved, I’ll take it.

we are close to getting over the hump. Played much better defense and had a shot to seal the game in the last 2 minutes. Up 2 points and Estime missed a 3 to put us up 5.

I think the game was too tight down the stretch and Talley had been scoring. That's likely the decision between Talley and Gary in that respect. Yeah, Gary tends to play with more "control", but he lacks the ability to score like Talley. He also lacks Talley's ability to force the defense to respect him. Teams aren't scared of Gary. They can sit back on our other 1 or maaaaaybe 2 offensive threats in the game and play their odds that Gary can't beat them. They don't have that luxury with Talley in the game. Talley may appear to be out of control at times, but he also has the ability to burn a defender and force a double to him that draws Cacok or another teammate open. I've yet to see Gary do that.

The play before, where Talley appeared to pass it to Cacok and there was a miscommunication of sorts where Cacok had to chase it down... I actually thought that was a great pass, Cacok (as well as the defenders) just weren't expecting it. Talley wasn't out of control there. He was playing an up-tempo speed, but that's necessary against a team like Delaware that doesn't move with great defensive speed.

You do realize we lost 4 out of 5 starters, which included mostly all of our guard offensive production. Combine that with a new coach and new defensive philosophy, we were going to take a step back. But on top of all that we only have 8 available scholarship players and play basically a seven man rotation that includes two freshmen.

He does. But he also doesn't seem to think we all remember his reaction to the hire.

I'm glad he's at least acknowledging the improvements shown tonight.

So you can look straight in the face and tell me the talent level of this team is equal to 1-10 vs D1 comp? Sorry I knew we’d take a step back but we have enough talent to have a better record than that

What's ridiculous? LOL. We all would be upset with 1-10 regardless of the coach. I'd be upset if we were 1-10 playing with Greenesboro College's roster.

Calm down.

You can't be dishing out as much discontent as you have been lately and be so thin skinned.

So what’s next fellas? Can we continue that effort level and take the next step, or, do we take two steps back?

Considering our next opponent, hopefully it’s a next step. This is why I said at the beginning of the season you have to let at least one full season play out.

For example, I work in a world of constructing trends and analysis. Sure, you can have a “feeling” of something through a few events but you build an entire story through many. Letting a story unfold allows you the better chance at the best analysis.

One conference game isn’t enough to know. Again, you’re looking at this way too quickly trying to establish your conclusion. Some would say you already have your conclusion and just seek positive reinforcement of that.

Our first conference game was a completely different version of the Seahawks than we saw in OOC play. Delaware scored 31 pts in the first half and less than that in the second half. Our defensive production in that respect increased exponentially. Their top scorer was held to 13 pts on 4-17 shooting. That’s drastically different than what we’ve seen so far. They were 8-20 from 3, and most of their looks were well contested. Again, a big change from before as we’ve been wondering why our perimeter defense was so bad in OOC. Last night's loss was due to our lack of offense. We did what we needed to do on defense. I don’t see last night as a bad thing at all really. We just struggled on offense. Delaware played a very physical defense, something the younger players haven’t seen yet, welcome to the CAA, right?

I’m not going to look at one game and wonder if we’ll take a step forward or a step back. I’ll wait until the season ends to do that. Right now, our conference game looks too different from OOC to compare the two. Give it a bit.

My plan is to pull for the fellas, support, and ask questions after the season.

Not gonna win a game like this without a go to scorer at crunch time. Clearly outmanned by Delaware but had a chance to win -the 3 pt barrage by No.2 being the difference in the game. If you have Bryce to defend him it is win. With Bryce this team is good and without a player like him it is a struggle to be competitive.
