Didn’t break a sweat last half of season. Adios. Well said. Nothing against the guy, but he never quite seemed like he was giving full effort. Zero "fire" it seemed. And his performance at the end of the St. Louis game in the tourney solidified it for me. We can do better. It was like, on...

Could not be more happy to be wrong! Way to go Dukes! The A10 needed that in a major way. Many thought they were over seeded and were a nine and a half point dog, which was by far the most for any six eleven match up. They play very good defense, no question about that. When they came to the Ryan C...

Dukes!! Nice win for them and the conf!

Last word was “no culture” before it got back to Steve and Chris. I do not blame Archie for this but I know and understand it falls back on him. You cannot “coach” and develop if the effort isn’t there on the other side. Agree. But it's also on Arch and staff to bring the best out of these guys, ke...

Sickening...of both the players and the staff. What a train wreck all around.

Keep Cam, Fuchs, Weston, Green and Dubs. All set with the rest. I’d add Fou to the list. I don’t think he has played much recently and we’ve looked awful. I have to say it, this is Embaronising howver you spell it…… I’m going to need to give to the NIL this week unfortunstely my funding will probab...

Who on this team seems to play the defense Archie is asking for? This team has talent on the offensive side, but they just either are not athletic/quick enough, interested in trying or just not getting the defensive concepts. You really think it will all of a sudden click for them next year? This i...

Our defense is terrible. The defense from our guards is appalling.

I'd love to see us start this game with the same intensity as we did last game against UMASS. Instead of being the ones getting punched in the mouth from the tip, we did the punching. Makes a huge difference for this team's psyche, and I felt like they fought hard for close to the full 40 minutes. C...

Wow. Pleasant surprise. Big bright spot with Zek FINALLY getting going. Hopefully he can get some confidence and consistency going now. I think Green being out was what this team needed honestly. I feel like his body language and complaining to the refs progressively got worse each game. I also feel...

Worst defense I can ever remember seeing. Ever. We have given up an AVERAGE of 95+ pts in our last three road games. 95+ pts! Can anyone confirm the last time this has happened in the program? Or is this the first?? I'm really trying to be patient with Archie, but I'm at a complete loss with how he ...

Brutal loss. I thought Archie was doing good with the rotations until later in the game. I hate to single players out, but my goodness Green was terrible tonight. 5 turnovers in 15 minutes!! And 0-2 from the stripe to boot. His body language was awful from the start. He clearly didn't have it tonigh...

Not a referendum on the season at all, BUT there were some issues that have been prevalent this season that reared their heads in a big way yesterday... 1.) Most important to me is the compete level. We were simply bullied and out toughed. Our guys looked like they wanted to take their ball and go ...

Anyone hear anything on Luis's knee? He was clearly hurting against UMASS. Sure hope that isnt something that lingers for him.

Talk about deflating, frustrating, pathetic, you name it. I was a bit concerned with the shady line, but this?? THIS??

Missing those few bunnies amd a few careless mistakes hurts, but overall these boys came to play and it's great seeing them take it up a notch and not get intimidated.

Do I expect us to win this game? I don't. However, reading through this thread you'd think we are playing Duke in Cameron (where btw we almost pulled off one of the greatest upsets ever, but I digress). We have yet to string together two good halves against the stronger opponents we've played, but w...

In addition, this was one of the games for me. I'll never forget sitting in 215 and having the perfect angle to see EC blow by his man and throw down a man's dunk. The Ryan went berserk. To this day that play to me is the moment that year's team realized how good they could actually be and never tur...

This is tough to watch. Sadly, we have a lot further to go than I was hoping after the first 3. We look inept against a 2-3. Gotta figure that sh*t out, stat.

If A-10 teams focus on shutting down House, I think we will be challenged to find others players to score. I think that was evident tonite. See I think we have a lot of guys that can score on this team. We def need House contributing don't get me wrong, but other guys have stepped up these last two...

Not much more to add that hasn't already been said. Learn from this one and bounce back strong tomorrow. I will say this though. Something was off with House from the tip. He looked gassed early, which was concerning. He just didn't quite seem himself out there. Will be important to see him come bac...

A convincing 16 pt win. Many different scoring options. We fixed the rebounding. We fixed the sluggish finish. Now fix the FTs and we're cooking with gas. Going to be a fun year.

spar

Holy sh*t what a difference vs last year. Multiple scoring options, multiple guys that can hit 3's, multiple guys that can finish around the rim. Don't care about the opponent, I was strictly watching our guys. No way I see us finishing in the basement of this league.

I'm still in the camp that we will be pleasantly surprised by a few of these guys we got. It's a puzzle and our staff is putting it together the best they can right now. Archie has yet to give me a reason to doubt him. If we are barely improved over last year then I'll get concerned, but I just don'...

spar

Maybe it's just me, but outside of Ish I see much improved all around guard play with Kortright, Wright, Zek and House. The naked eye doesn't lie. Sign me up for being optimistic so far.

Why should Archie take some of the blame? Should he just accept insubordination? Is that how things go in 2023? +100 Saw this one coming unfortunately. Home opener and I was getting my first glimpse of the squad. Couldn't help but notice Freeman constantly up on the bench, turned around and interac...

Alienated? Again outside of the decision to bench a player I have not criticized the coach. A couple times yes but nothing crazy.

He's gotta still be fighting thru that back issue. Just doesn't look comfortable/fluid when he's on the floor to me. Assuming that's the case, hopefully he can get healthier for the second half of the year and provide us with some additional productive minutes off the bench. Guess we'll find out soo...

I’m baffled about why Weston barely played. Especially when this team has no offensive weapons, he was rusty in the scrimmage in the first half, but once he got warm, he was the best player on the floor. We didn’t give him that opportunity tonight. I'm thinking there must have been something wrong ...
