Another miserable day. Truthfully, I forgot the game was even on – you just don't think about Monday day games being a thing.

8 for 25 from three, 8 for 25 from two. That's all you need to know about where we are offensively. We failed to break 50 in conference for the first time since a 57-49 loss at UMBC in 2019. Before that you have to go back to a six-game stretch where we finished in the 40s three times in 2015.

Another nice effort from Gueye. With his newfound touch from deep, he is now our second-best three-point shooter behind Policelli. Four three attempts from Mac today. I didn't see the game so I don't know the context, but I just can't imagine a system that would require that from him when it's obviously not his forte.

Vermont next week. Albany after that.

We played awful again.  Mac started and missed a bunch of 3's.  We missed 3 bunnies in a row, early in the 1st half, and that pretty much sealed our fate.  We probably missed 6 buckets right under the rim today, and everything else was a long range miss.  Sayles and Greene are totally lost.  Mo the only one playing, but he doesn't have enough of a supporting cast, to be The Man.
UMBC has much more talent, and is coached a heck of a lot better.  Sigh. 

One nugget from Johnny Wincott today that I was not aware of........all seniors in D1 winter sports automatically get another year of eligibility, so there's a chance that Mo, Sayles, and Habwe may still be in uniform next season.

In the case of Gueye, I really wonder which uniform we’re talking about. He can play a significant role at the same places that Yeboah, Olaniyi, Garcia and Foreman went off to.

I realize that Geno has a difficult hand to work with here. Whether he’s responsible for all the departures, I don’t know. It’s suspicious looking but I’m not in the huddle over there. No matter who’s on the roster though, I wish I’d see more of a system here. Shots don’t go down as much – fine. But I just feel like we’re putting up bad shots every time down the floor. That’s on the system. I go back to the Henry shots I mentioned before – how many times do we get wide-open looks like that because of a great pass or movement in general? It NEVER happens. Gotta be better than that. We’re at five straight games shooting under 40 percent, and I don’t like our chances up in Burlington.

Long story short, SBU can't afford to fire Geno, not with three years left on the deal (outlined in the Stadium article below). For reference, Boals contract info is underneath.

Well, there you go!!! Why in the world would Stony Brook lock in a 5-year contract to an assistant coach who doesn't have a proven winning track record.  I could see 2 or 3-year contract max, out of the gate then reevaluate after year 2. But 5? This program deserves what it gets.

We make the most baffling contract decisions and it's the reason why our programs languish in mediocrity for years and years despite paying good money to our coaches. BS.
