Pathetic ending to the half!!

The Cox hating and the bad coaching take is getting a little old tho. Guaranteed he doesn't tell the guards to throw soft passes trying to break the press. Can he better yes absolutely but the players need to play smarter as well. Soft passes and not being confident pushing up the court is what killed us when they went to the press. That isn't on Cox that's on the players.

[reef]

They went to that 3/4 court trap and we had no answer. Frustrating.

And we have 3 guards on the floor. They should be able to break that easy.

Yeah Shep is just not a true PG. Always looks nervous bringing it up with pressure.

Agree with this we need that true PG we miss you JD

They took Walker's shot at the buzzer off the board.

[theblueram]

Don't we need at least a 14 point lead at the half to win?

[adam914]

This is not ideal.

Thanks.

[adam914]

Random halftime thought: I'm starting to worry that Sheppard and El-Amin are way too similar type players, and since neither is a point guard it hurts our offense at times.

[RI_Bred]

So frustrating with the twins foul trouble, what do they not get???

A couple of the calls against them were awful.

[rhodyruckus]

This is not ideal.

With the Mitchell twins this shouldn't happen. Two many block attempts and shot contests with no one available for the weak side rebound.

True. Still frustrating tho.

[Billyboy78]

Can someone tell me why Thomas was taken out of the game? He was directly responsible for 5 points with 2 nice passes during the run that got us back in it. He didn't make any mistakes. He played FOUR minutes! Cox took him out, we start turning the ball all over the place and we're down double digits again. WHY???

[steviep123]

Lim in delay and that 2nd foul on Mitchell was awful.

He has seemingly no idea how to ride what’s working haha he always does this!!!

Can't deviate from the subbing script.

[steviep123]

The 2nd foul (offensive) on the Mitchell was also an awful call!

Exactly! The kid gave us a nice spark. But there's that pre-determined rotation. Give Shep that 4 minute break and get Bassy back out. He has zero clue.

[Donrxer79]

Lazy pass turnovers, just killing us.

[FDshoes]

The 2nd foul (offensive) on the Mitchell was also an awful call!

The one against Watson was worse. Should have been offensive on Watson prior to even going up for the shot.

[Jersey77]

This is not ideal.

With the Mitchell twins this shouldn't happen. Two many block attempts and shot contests with no one available for the weak side rebound.

Also sloppy passing and some bad shots.

Crosswell off the bench for them in just 10 minutes had 11 points and 9 rebs.
On the other hand for us Walker in 14 mins had 2 pts(no field goals), 1 turnover, and only 1 reb.

[eli#10]

We need Walker and Martin to make appearances in the second half. Martin with 3 turnovers in about 10 minutes of play. Walker making Croswell look like a first team All-American.

Yeah that hurt us there when they switched to that trap we needed Bassy on the floor then

I don't think the script can be changed until next month tho

[rhodysurf]

Hahah the fuck was that traveling call???

[eli#10]

WTF is Mitchell doing dribbling up the court against the press? Can someone get Cox to answer that effing question. Do we have any other offense sets that we can run? How bout trying a back door cut once in a while.

Can Walker make a play--just one please.

[Sweep The Leg]

Ish is getting caught in screens this half.

[RI_Bred]

WTF is Mitchell doing dribbling up the court against the press?

Can't make it up. Unreal.

[NYGFan_Section208]

And sometimes...he's even being given the ball...

[Rhode_Island_Red]

That's what happens when your defense is called "Don't Switch Anything"

[PeteRI]

Sad performance.

[reef]

Not looking good at all

[rhodysurf]

Bout to lose by 20

[PeteRI]

That's 4 on Makhi. Smart play.

[theblueram]

15 minute mark. This is where teams go on a 14-0 run.

[PeteRI]

Anyone think we have a run in us?

[RamStock]

Ramster please stop posting anything involving RPI. It means nothing now, a hint towards that is it says Uris SOS is 54 lol

Ramster,

Looking for an updated RPI after today’s ass kicking. I am getting excited about our push for the CBI tournament

[PeteRI]

Now it's 4 on Makhi. We're screwed.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

WTAF!

[PeteRI]

Now Makhel gets his 4th with 13:42 left. WE ARE F##KED.

[Blue Man]

Lmao.

Imagine thinking this is the coach to get it done.

Would love a coaching search to start at the under 12.

[FDshoes]

10 combined fouls in less then 7 minutes of game play. These freaking refs need to let them play a bit jesus

[DeanDome88]

Nice to see Mitchell finish thru contact. Have not seen that much so far.

[Sweep The Leg]

That press looks so easy to break. They have 3 players near the ball handler. Space out and get a layup. Not rocket science.

[PeteRI]

We're gonna lose by 20+.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

There is no reason a college team should be so confounded by this half-ass press

[PeteRI]

We're gonna lose by 20+.

Or win by 3.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Nice putback to get it back to 12 followed by another wtfto...

That just seems so effed up.

[Jersey77]

The momentum had really switched with 5 minutes left in the first half.
Not playing good ball right now.
The twins need to play a lot smarter, they would be so much better.
I don't understand why they keep making the same bad fouls at critical times.
