I don't think anyone should be surprised by this performance. First game on the road for a lot of guys. Fatts is a hot and cold player, just ice-cold so far. This season is going to require lots of patience from the fan-base. Some of the pre-season predictions were WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too optimistic IMO. Road OOC games, and Conference games are going to all be tough.

There will be many more up and downs all year. I think the goal is to get better for the end of the year and compete for a bid at the A-10 tourney.

NCAA or Bust is the goal.

2 assists in the half. That might be a record.

Fatts FG % is disturbing - he doesn’t even get close

Miss you JT/EC

The good thing about a hot/cold player is he could get hot at any time and there’s still a 2nd half. Keep playing tough D. Take away the free throws, and Charleston will have a tough time scoring.

This Charleston team isn't really that good. We are just playing AWFUL!!!!

New season, hope everyone is well. First half observations...

Positives:
- Umm, they're playing hard I guess. Haha. Rebounding well for the most part.

Negatives:
- Freshmen doing freshmen things. Poor Harris. He's putting himself in good position on the offensive end but almost everything seems to be in-between finessing it or throwing it down. Just throw it down big guy, use your length. Way too early to tell but at first glace he appears to be an emotional player that needs to be reeled in a bit when things aren't going well. And it hasn't gone well for him early on. Some silly fouls on the defensive end.
- Martin also can't buy a bucket (well to be fair no one can) but seems to be the real deal.
- If we absolutely must shoot a 30-footer with the shot clock running down, I'd rather have Jeff take it than Fatts.
- Fatts is my guy, but he can't keep forcing the issue when he's cold like this. 1-9, 0-6 from 3.
- Too many missed free throws and silly turnovers.

Neutral:
- 0-13 from 3
- The 2nd half will show me a little something about Coach Cox early on. I don't have all of the stats in front of me, but I'm assuming CT was in early foul trouble? Otherwise where was he in the first half. He's a guy that can D up on the perimeter and settle down some of the freshmen.
- When we need a good possession, let everything run through Jeff. Unfortunately you can tell he doesn't really trust Harris yet on the screen and rolls and I don't blame him.
- We're going to have to get out of this hole by knocking down some 3's and eliminating easy looks for them. Might be too much of a task but let see what this young team is made of and who can start playing confident.
- CL has made massive improvements in his low-post game since his freshman year, but still travels at least once a game when his opponent pulls the chair on him.

The offense needs to run through Jeff the majority of the time

Seems like most of their fans I can see are either sitting there with their arms crossed. Never heard a place so quiet that's up by (right now) 10 points.

COC is bad. Just keep attacking.

FATTS - can you learn how to hit a shot ?

did you even work on it during the summer ?

My goodness

Team blows

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 5 years ago

Down 16 five minutes into 2nd half. Get the bus warmed up. This game is over. Only question remaining is if Rhody can make the final score look respectable. I was expecting a loss in the first road game with an inexperienced team. I just never thought they would be this bad. This looks like it will be a bumpy ride season with many peaks and valleys. Not a surprise given all the change. Everyone will need patience.

Ramrod · Unread post by **Ramrod** » 5 years ago

Seeing some real positive things out of Tyrese Martin. Active rebounding on both ends of the floor. The team had to realize that we have other potential scorers (Cyril, Dowtin, Thompson, Martin) when Fatts' shots aren't falling.

DC_Rams · Unread post by **DC_Rams** » 5 years ago

We need to sit Fatts the rest of the game.

Strong play by Dowtin there to get Jasper to foul him and get team into penalty....

Do the players understand their roles. Ryan Preston’s role is not to take 14 footers down the stretch.

Offensive sets take 10-15 seconds to develop, we do not have time to run sets, we need our scorers to score....quickly.
