This is completely unforgivable. I am beyond words, but nothing more than disgust.

This team has quickly become pathetic .  Barely shot 30 % from the floor and 9% from 3 point range.   Add in no defense another weak  game.

That's all on the coaches.Boals needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new strategy on offense. Guys with the ball are getting doubled team in the paint and nobody coming around to help out, thus forcing turnovers. Our deep ball is nolonger a threat, and teams see this on film.

Saturday game against a halfway decent Hartford team is a test to see if Boals and Ford can come up with a new game plan to break away from this slump, or not!!!

OK. I am always the eternal optimist about things, and I'll continue to be so.

This is a young team. They're going to have ups and downs. We had some glorious highs so far, and now, some valleys. It's okay.

We've shot exceptionally bad the past two games - like, almost fluky bad. And our turnovers have skyrocketed in league play.

It can't get worse, and we shouldn't expect it to be. We've seen a lot of good from this team to think that it will.

It would help if Yeboah got truly 100% healthy.

Agreed. But I, too, think as others mentioned above that coaching was subpar last game. I have no issue with chucking bunch of threes when falling. We just don’t have fluid movement on the floor. Vermont showed us how organized and smooth moves, cuts, screens, passes, patience and shot selection can easily overcome bigger and more athletic team. While our team is young, Boals is a young coach too. He too is learning on the job. Boals already proved that he can recruit at upper AE level. Now he needs to prove that he’s got Xs and Os, has solid game plan and can outfox opposition Coach. I am willing to give him plenty of time to grow.

in other news.  the women are 16-5 and beat UMBC.

some things i'd maybe consider, as a non-bball coach.  maybe start garcia to provide some punch.  get moor on earlier especially if olaniyi is cold.  give kwas a rest against teams we can beat, IF he's really injured.  get the chef back on the floor if otchere is going to make 2 fouls in the first 10min.  generally, shake things up until we are back to normal.

nuclear option- do we look to put someone like long in for cornish, even if temporarily, to cool him down?

I think of late that Garcia has been our best player.  Would like to see him inch up to 30+ minutes per game.  We are a young team, and Latimer has been looking like a rookie lately, Elijah looks like he may have hit the sophomore jinx, and our leader, Akwasi, is only playing at about 75-80%.  Agree on resting Akwasi - maybe hold him out of practices even.  And yes, Chef, who is still raw, was very active for us underneath.  Give him some minutes back.  Having him sit on the pine is totally baffling.

Biggest problem though, IMO, has been lack of a quarterback over the last 5-6 games.  PG is our weakest position right now, as it is up to the PG to set the tempo, drive to the rim and dish, and find the open man.  Not the shot first mentality we have been seeing of late.  If you watch our last few games, it's a bunch of guys hanging around the perimeter, with little movement, and shooting out of rhythm.  We need to establish pace, ball movement, and cutting, to get back to where we were.  Starts at the PG position IMO.  Coach Boals needs to emphasize this moving forward.

Yeah point guard play is a concern. I was quite pleased with Cornish even couple weeks ago, but he has been off. With one scholie left, may be Boals can bring in a seasoned grad/juco transfer who can contribute right away next year. I would be more interested in someone who can run the point without turnovers than a scoring PG.

isnt foreman a 1?

Yes he is.
