Will be interesting to see who shows up on Sunday.

Agreed

Final is loss 84-69

Need to bring our A game on Sunday

Even the St. Joe's announcers voiced surprise at the outcome. Very disappointing.

We didn't score for the last 3:35.
They gave up over 100 last time out, lost another starter before this game and still held us to under 70.

Well, we did well from the charity stripe. FTs weren't enough.

Most enjoyable part of the game was Joe Lunardi high opinion of the Tribe team and potential. Hopefully we will continue to live up to that opinion as he feels Delaware and W&M are the top two CAA teams.

Unless W&M final exams are now a piece of cake, ... what did everyone expect with the scheduling of this road game? Seriously?

I presume the thought process is that this game, and the Sunday game, will clear away the exam blues, and get the team ready for the conference season.

Cameron Brown ... what might have been. Very sad.

We always had problems with Daly when he was at Delaware and had no answer for him...or anyone else tonight.

Brown didn't play well. He'd be a bench player on our roster.

One game does not tell the tale.

He’d be a starter on our roster next year.

Team acted like they were drugged tonight. People standing around looking at each other while every long rebound or loose ball went to the other team. No close outs, no boxing out, no nothing. I guess this is why we usually play some garbage division three team coming out of exams. Better not see this kind of half ass effort in DC this weekend. In other news, I still despise Ryan Daly and am very happy that he is no longer terrorizing us in CAA games.

I honestly thought this team's floor was higher than this.

We are down 81-69 with 3:35 to play. Need D and hot shooting

This team does not force turnovers, except when Barnes decides to raise his energy level on the ball. Consequently, an opposing team just needs to let the air out of the ball, and we can't get enough possessions to make up that kind of difference in that time period. We are going to lose games by default when we've fallen behind by double digits late because we can't prevent teams from using up their full 30 seconds.

Truly I thought we were done with that little ******.

Most frustrated I've been with a game all season. Were we still going under screens tonight (I'm in the car so I was only able to watch on the small screen)? Because it might explain the absurd amount of 3s they took. Hopefully not something that becomes a theme for the year.

We were out hustled and got almost no 50/50 balls. St Joe's out competed us. Dane felt that we did not have the right focus or effort tonight. Short post game interview.

In the immortal words of Lloyd Bridges from Airplane "I picked a bad week to quit..."

Just a lackluster effort. No apparent hustle. Lost every 50/50 ball. Didn't handle the aggressive defense very well. Too often made stops and then gave it right back. Plenty to work on before Sunday.

Good. I hope even-keel Dane is pissed about that one

Based on the short post game interview, take it to the bank he is

You owe a road game, then you work it in the schedule the best you can. Announcers said this was supposed to have been their home opener. St. Joe's was coming out of exams, also, but then again all exams are not created equal.

Brown has not been anything special for them to date. Verdict is out how well he may develop.

Regardless of obstacles, still disappointing, though despite their road success, they are probably very road weary after this OOC schedule. Hopefully, they come out mad on Sunday.

The good news is our program is at a point where a road loss to an A10 team is a bad loss.

The bad news is this was a bad loss.
