Looking like this game is going to be another bust for SBU.

Another 30 pt loss team has quit on geno. No idea when they win another d1 game see ya next year. Disgusting.

Time for a raise and contract extension for Geno. I mean heck. Give everybody in athletics bonuses, and raises, for the Holidays!

If this season ends how i think geno is gone no rational AD can justify keeping him. New conference reboot the program get a young hungry P5 assistant.

Why can’t we be like hofstra?

trying to find positives here... not much to work with.  the product is a far cry from 5-6 years ago.

i feel bad for the players.  they're working hard.  but if we lose to a div III team next week we may be looking a 3 win season.

the campaign isnt over but in some ways, it already is.  so, as a non-coach, isnt this the time to maybe experiment?  tossing up ill timed. low % shots hasnt worked for us, ever.  yet, we continue to do it, and lose lose lose.  why not go out there and pound the ball next week, limit perimeter shots to maybe 12, or until after 3-4 passes, etc. and see what happens. 

forget injuries.  i aint the coach but if the staff isnt going to review the analytics AND adapt, then i'll at least do the analytics:

sarvan- you're 6'10" and 80% of your shots are behind the arc.  and you're shooting 50% from 2.  do it more. 
fitzmorris- you're 19/24 from 2.  so every single possession, you're on the court, and you get the first pass into the post.
tanajh- you're 9/17 from 2, yet 2/14 (.143%) from 3.  figures are small but maybe the writing is on the wall.
rocco- you havent taken a 3, and also, hit 50% from the field.  so i start you and pass you the ball in the post.

and so forth.


we shoot 28% (46/163) from the arc.  that's 20 misses per game, or 1 per possession minute.  now go watch an ACC game.  does that happen?  maybe, but if it does, they either work inside-out, or fight for the rebound, and don't stand there watching their brick, or stop shooting after 6 consecutive misses, etc.  try something different, this is the opportunity to do it.

put another way- our outside shooters are simply not as good as they think they are.  and they're certainly better than me!  but stats are what stats are.  and the shortfalls continue to pile up.

GO SB

SBU’s statement sums it up: “There is nothing this team does well.” To lose by 30 to FIU and Eastern Washington is embarrassing, roster woes be damned.

I do feel for the players and, yes, Geno, which isn’t to say I like him or think he’s good. It’s just an impossible situation. There are no answers to be found anywhere. Our bench is bar none the worst in D-I. I was thinking that, ordinarily, Muratori, Roberts and Pettway are the last three guys off the bench. Now they’re the first three. TO needs a year of seasoning as most freshmen do; I think he’ll be fine? We have big guys who can’t rebound. And my fears about Policelli’s limitations have come true. 12 points in three games for somebody who was supposed to be an anchor of our offense—not good.

I’m curious what these crowds look like at home. Do students/fans pay attention to wins and losses or at they just happy to get out? Not going to lie—SBU for $6.31 beats the Nets/Knicks for $100—but it’s real ugly right now. The worst it’s been in a long time.

The leading scorer tonight only shot 5 FG's.. There's a serious offensive problem, which starts and ends with the guards. They were not severely out-rebounded (30 for EWU vs 23 for SBU, 7 OR vs 4 OR) but EWU took 16 more shots. On top of that, we can't shoot free throws. We can't shoot 3's. We can't take care of the ball in general.

At this point.. just put the two bigs on the court at the same time and see what happens. What do they have to lose?
