Seawolves Fans

I went to this game last night...it has become a tradition to go to a game with an out of town buddy of mine when he is home visiting family for the holidays if the SBU schedule aligns.  I almost suggested not going to this one, thinking it would be boring due to the supposed "lousy" opponent.  But, we figured it would be a night out...and my daughter wanted to come too...

Wow.  Our team looked very sloppy.  I don't get why so many 3's were taken on our part.  As someone else mentioned, I understand doing that against a Michigan State or in any other over-matched scenario...but not sure why they'd take that approach against a supposed bottom of the barrel D-I team.   I guess when we're dealing with mid-major and below, anyone can beat anyone on a given night.

Anyway, very disappointing...does not bode well for conference play.  But, it's just one game, and I try not to be too hard on these students...we need to remember they are students and not millionaire pros.  That said, we can still be disappointed in them...and moreso the coaching staff really...but I just try to keep in in perspective.

After the game I did a little research on Norfolk State.  While they are ranked very poorly and have a lousy record so far this season, the program does have some pedigree (relative to what I thought of them before the game, which was zilch...I had literally never heard of them).  They made the NCAA tournament in 2012 and won a round against the #2 seed.  And they've made the NIT/CIT every year since. And, they have an alum who is a current NBA player on the Knicks.  (None of this is an excuse for the loss.)
