Listen, first let me say that I like Bassy. You can go back and look at my posts when he was here when most people were bashing him. I think he can run a team, facilitate and makes nice passes. He's still not a good shooter. He scored a lot of points last season despite shooting 43% from the floor ...

They’ve been going through the motions for awhile now. Seems most of them have given up on the team, on themselves and on Archie. I feel many of them have already given up on the program also. We’ll see very soon…

BB78 I honestly haven’t exactly figured out what Miller is running primarily on offense. Defense yeah Pack Line I get. It’s not high post (UCLA) offense Cox failed to implement where two guards attack with no primary PG ( thus Dowtin “off the ball”) it’s not a form of motion and it’s definitely not...

Rhody22

yes and yes Some would say that some of those empty lower bowl (100 and 200) are season ticket holder seats that the people are simply not attending but a good number of them are available for purchase. Season tickets have diminished with all the tickets. It’s been a downhill curve since Hurley lef...

Richmond shooting 17-29 or 58 % , we need to get that % lower and we have a great chance
Fuchs 17 and 4 easily his best game
Let’s get DG going and we should win this if we can play better defense

That’s a BIG if…

Rhody22

Why do we always allow an opponent to more than double their season average in points?
Why does Archie hate Fou? Or is there some injury? We are getting destroyed on the boards but Arch is not changing anything.

Rhody22

We are what we are…a not very good team. And the coaching hasn’t been as good as we all expected. We are pathetic defensively and very undisciplined overall.

He left it in the Mason locker room.

He gave it to Rory and Connor…

Rhody22

I fear that next year could possibly be about the same as this year. I don’t see how Fou stays seeing how Archie treats him and his buddy Stewart likely leaving won’t help. Cam could potentially leave because he gets an offer at a better school and knows the chance of being successful while he is he...

Rhody22

We have no flow in the half court offense. It’s 1v1 and chuck up a bad shot. Horrible…

Rhody22

Better defense would help prevent blowouts like the last game and this one. Prospective recruits see this and think why come here to get slaughtered against good teams? There is too much dead weight on this team. You would think there are at least 5 or 6 guys who are committed to play tough defense...

So, we came to Rhody and bought season tix only to see EC get hurt in the first game where we were season ticket holders. . We've been ticketholders since then, but can't recall the program ever being in worse shape. Doubled our season ticket holding this year...may be the worst investment ever. Th...

Rhody22

No game is “meaningless” when you’re trying to build a program back up. Wins give the players confidence for their next game. Wins gets fans to come to games and support the team. Wins gets donations. Wins gets recruits interested in joining the program.

Rhody22

So far, Archie has not been worth even half of what he’s been paid. The ROI right now is horrific… He’s made the same mistakes Cox did by recruiting athletes, not basketball players. Team has not had a consistent 3 pt threat in years and he did not address that need. And let’s not say Dubsky because...

He can shoot and he gives effort. 2 things many of his teammates can’t/won’t/don’t do.

We are seriously overrated talent wise. It's becoming more obvious game by game. The only people who have overrated our talent are the ones on this board who wave their pompoms at every player signed. Everyone without Rhody blinders on, knew we wouldn’t be a good team. I remember how Cam and Dubsky...

They run an elite level offense (Obviously] and have one of the best young coaches in the game

They aren't average.

I hope Archie realizes/admits his approach to roster building this year was a failure and can put together a much better roster for next year.

Rhody22

Someone still has to explain to me why Malik and Thomas played 30+ min and Weston played a spot 8. I don’t get it. Huge Archie fan but his personnel decisions had me shaking my head this game. This one was another turd. Maybe Archie doesn’t want Weston back next year and is showing him the door? Sa...

Or do you want a guy that doesn't fit the culture to be on the team? If he changes his tune and decides to be a team pla...

Rhody22

Obviously if there is a disconnect between Bray and Archie and there is a mutual agreement for him to move on, that may change Archie's thought process on how he uses the portal. Again, losing doesn't always bode well in building the team's confidence and player moral. That will be big job for Arch...

I had high hopes for Freeman but I don’t think he fits into the culture we hope Archie is trying to instill. 🤣 Yeah let's get rid of one of our two best players Individually he is a good player. As a team player he leaves much to be desired. As a PG I don’t think he makes others around him better. ...

Rhody22

Why is it that we can’t defend screens giving the opponent wide open looks yet on offense, our screens never get a player open?

Our offense has turned into dribble, dribble, shoot. Where is the passing and motion. I don't get it. We also must lead the country in fouling 3 point shooters and giving up rebounds on missed ft's.. we just don't have enough offensive talent down low I expected to see better offense this year but ...

Rhody22

This team is horrendous! I never expected Archie to put together such an abysmal roster. Boneheaded plays. Putrid shooting. Not sure how to describe the non-existent defense. How many times did we get beat down the court defensively? We need about 7 new players next year and at least 3 of them have ...

Rhody22

With the preseason they were getting ready for the regular season. After some bad losses, they were prepping for the A10 schedule. Now this is all so that we are ready for the A10 tournament. Once we don't make it, it'll be all for the 2023-2024 season. Are we tired of moving goalposts yet?

Rhody22

I’m excited about Weston. I also feel Tchikou has size and athleticism that you don’t give up on quickly. Jury out on Rory and Lou Reason fans are excited about the players coming in next year is either they are eternal optimists or its so bad this year and are grasping for anything positive...

Rhody22

I have faith Archie will take this program back to the NCAA but am very disappointed (and surprised) with him so far. If it were any Coach without the pedigree of Archie, he’d be getting annihilated by fans right now. -his usage of Weston is baffling (reminds me of Walker) -poor construction of the ...

Rhody22

Can’t give up that rebound off the missed FT

Why is Bassy shooting?! You’re open for a very good reason

Happy New Year all. I’m not sure all this team needs is experience…let’s beat the dead horse…they need talent. Bray and Ish are good players, but I wouldn’t say they are alphas on a good team. Who else on this team projects to be that? You will have to squint real hard to see someone on this team t...

Rhody22

I’d rather have faith that a proven head coach that has landed and developed some absolute studs in his career will do the same for us and get us back to where we should be over being negative 24/7 like 15. I’m not gonna overreact and think every recruit is gonna suck because we have had a bad star...

Rhody22

Hahahahaha already talking about a current high school senior making an instant impact next season. When are you people gonna learn? Stewart was supposed be this shooting savior, posters here said he was “really good” and he sucks. We have multiple kids who were 4* in high school. Underwhelming to ...

Archie better hit the recruiting trail and land us some 4* recruits. I'm suspect on the recruits next year because they are 2*. I'm suspect on some of these guys on the team now. The freshman bigs will need time, but our guard play is a disaster. Not that it matters, but Connor and Cam are 3 star p...

Rhody22

Based on the play to date, I am very concerned that there is little on this team to build upon or around. there is little of the talent here needed to succeed at the level we desire. this is a lost year that just puts us another year further away from success. We are unfortunately probably SEVERAL ...

Rhody22

I'll make another major understatement. Massive roster changes needed next season. Too many non D1 players on this team. We know Archie can coach but he's got probably the least talent he's ever had right now and hes got to be awfully frustrated along with all of us. The onus will be on him to upgr...

At least we have been in three close games now so we are on our way to learning how to win them. I think it’s a good sign that we’ve been in these games.

Speaking of freeman, plenty of other guys did perplexing and inexcusable things down the stretch to cost them the game, but he picked up one of the dumbest fouls I’ve ever seen (his 5th foul, away from the ball, in the bonus, at the end of a game, clinging to a lead) and walked off the court high f...
