I DVRd the sucker and I'm all caught up. Jermaine picking up his 4th foul so early is not good. And it looks like fatts is still a shell of his former self.

Fatts driving and not passing is a recipe for disaster right now. Needless to say he hasn't developed the little guy finishing moves a la Iverson or Isaiah Thomas

Kept Harris out way too long. Who cares about the 4 fouls if you don’t reinsert him until the game is already over.

I don't think Cox likes to play Harris because Harris doesnt take enough contested threes while everyone else stands around watching, since that seems to be our only offensive game plan this season.

Fatts Russell= mike Powell right now and that's not good. This is a historically bad shooting team with no signs of improvement.. Bitterly disappointed.. How about recruiting someone that can shoot.. There's an idea.. This is the running rams!!! Not impressed

It is hard to imagine that no one on this team can shoot the 3 this year. Not Fatts, not Thompson, not Dowtin, not Martin.

Point of emphasis traveling on perimeter Dickey? Yeah thanks, no need to encourage offense, I'd rather hear a few more whistles.

Probably the fact he had 4 fouls in 11 minutes did it. Is it better to have him foul out with 15 minutes left in the game or hope we keep it close and he can at least try to finish the game?

Terrible offensive sets. Too much dribbling with little movement. How about putting Jeff back as the point guard. In addition to all that we cannot make a fucking shot. Try putting someone on the foul line to make passes. Running the offense through Cyril is not the answer.

Instead of Jeff back at the point it is a freshman who is not a true point guard. Help.

I get it, I was more just talking about the fact that our offense is terrible. Poor attempt at a joke I guess.

I do think they sat Harris too long though.

I am sorry but Fatts is just killing this team. Gets beat on defense and has ZERO offense. Cannot even hit free throws (1-6 so far today). He needs to see far less time on the floor until he can get some game back.

Before I was saying Fatts is hitting FTs at 80% so a head thing with his 3-pointers, well now with his 1-6 at the stripe today it's feeling more hopeless ATM. Might be worth a few games off to get things together.

Yea I got the joke. Harris ended up fouling out in 14 minutes, putting him any sooner and he just fouls out earlier. I don’t think it would have made any difference in the game.

Usually a game in the 50s in this rivalry would be a defensive "rock fight" but tonight it is just that no one can shoot! Building a house out there!

You can't win many games when you can't put the ball through the basket. This team just cannot shoot. The worst three point shooting team in the nation. We basically have two players (Dowtin and Langevine) that can play at a high level. Freshmen need more time to develop and other returning players have failed to elevate their game. Tough road ahead. This is basically a rebuild year. Mission will be to get experience for next season.

Great defense by Martin. Based on what I have seen so far this season I say Tyrese should now be a starter.
