Ish Leggett needs to be benched.
Start Malik, Thomas, or Carey.
He has done NOTHING the last 4 games.

Re: 11/23 | Florida Gulf Coast | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
Our guards deserve most if not all the blame. Sheppard is a senior playing like a freshmen. Does Leggett know what planet he’s on? A week ago people were saying he should transfer to a P5 and now the kid forgot how to play basketball. El-Amin looked fine but needs to be assertive when the the backcourt is in a coma

They were terrible. 11 turnovers against a team playing zone? In this case that isn’t coaching. It’s bad execution and decision making. Sheppard and Leggett killed us.

How would we recover from losing this roster that we put together? Better give him that extension for comfortJersey77 wrote: ↑2 years agoI didn't say decade you did.RamStock wrote: ↑2 years agoSo what is adequate time-a decade? That would be the situation if they gave him an extension. It would be the same exact scenario as Baron. This 2021 and coaches don’t get 10 years to get to the tournament. I know you are going say this is not a blue blood school, etc. I don’t think we afraid of losing anyone if Cox is fired like we were when he was up for the job and had all those terrific recruits. None of which are with the team any longerJersey77 wrote: ↑2 years ago
Not true.
Anyone that really knows me understands that I am not satisfied with mediocrity.
I never liked the Baron hire and expressed those feelings early on to many of the Rhody faithful. I thought we just settled after coming off the debacle with Jerry D.
However, I do have realistic expectations for this team.
I also feel we will get to the NCAAT sooner with this staff than if we started over.
Mostly because I like the roster he assembled.
I just don't think Cox has been given adequate time just yet.
Time will tell.
We would lose almost the entire roster if Cox is let go, that's what will happen.
Please move this discussion to another thread and talk about this game here. Thanks

Ugh I’m so frustrated to lose a game like this
If we had just won by a point we could live with it but to lose to a team this bad is just inexcusable and we had a 14 point lead just disgusted

I did not watch the game but the result is not surprising. I think the fact Sutton had coached and recruited most of the players on the Rhody roster didn’t get as much play going into the game than it should have.

Do you think they show these guys game film of themselves afterwards? How does that go.
Ok, second half, guys: Here's where, we are up by double digits, and you had 4 really bad turnovers on back to back possessions, all in a row, and I said, ah, heck with it, I'm not calling a time out, that's classic Rhody basketball right there. I finally called a T.O. when they cut the lead to 2.

Re: 11/23 | Florida Gulf Coast | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
If Sheppard is the PG this year, we are doomed. He's a fine player, but his strengths are his shot and his ability to drive to the basket. He's an average passer at best and his turnover parade down the stretch is what cost us this game. Imagine how he'll fare against teams better than FGCU? Leggett has been even worse, to the point where you have to bench him. Maybe he's hurt? El-Amin is in constant foul trouble and seems invisible on offense most of the time.
I truly feel this team has talent, but I don't have any faith that Cox will find a way to make these pieces fit together. He so consistently makes baffling decisions, like having Sheppard guard Dunn-Martin. I guess he was going for speed vs speed, but anyone with eyes could tell you Sheppard is our worst defender save for Walker.

They could have called a foul a couple possessions before on the shot prior to the out of bounds review, so it sort of evened out. URI definitely "earned" this lossSandorClegane wrote: ↑2 years ago Bullshit call. Reminds me of last years st Joe’s game.

If you watched you would have seen FGCU stinks. They run around chucking up shots and praying they go down. The first half was varsity vs freshmen. We went into half up 11 and it could have easily been 20+

We've really flipped the script from being stacked with guards/wings and one big man short of competing in the Baron era, to developing a great frontcourt with little help from the backcourt now.

I don’t understand how people are surprised by this. The team has been doing the same thing for the past 4 years.
Wake me up when we have a new coach and maybe I’ll pay attention again.

I'm so tired of watching teams look like they're a bunch of kids that showed up to play a pickup game for a little fun before they go to party at night. Cox experiment is so far done for me.

Remember Maryland last year? Amazing effort first half. Completely outclassed the second half. That's pretty much the blueprint.

Between these players and the coach, this program is pathetic.
I've been reserving judgement so far, but this is too much.
My prediction for this season is going to come true, we will be lucky to finish above .500.
Absolute joke.
Not enough talent whichever way you want to look at it.
And that includes the staff.
Thorr, wake up and don't prolong this ineptitude any longer.
We play a shit schedule, and it still won't save Cox's ass. GOOD.
Some of you on this board were only fooling yourselves thinking this was going to get better. Guess again.

THIS HURTS. Would like to hear what Cox said to the team after the game.
Let's see: we lose by one and FGCU got 2 points due to a STUPID uncalled for technical foul in the first half. Undisciplined team. Cox to take control if possible

Re: 11/23 | Florida Gulf Coast | 7:00PM (ESPN+)
This sums up my thoughts perfectly. We’ve been up low double digits on teams numerous times already this season and got so complacent. Need a killer instinct
