Not sure who is more disappointing - Jeff or Harris.

But they are both killing us.

That said, start toppin over Harris. For the love of God.

Fatts is the only Ram that can score. Not getting much help from most of the others on offense. Three starters (Downtin, Harris, and Martin) are a combined 3-15 from the field. Lucky to be only down 11.

We could lose to PC on friday if we play like this. Every game can't be the "Fatts show". We need other players to step up. Cyril 4 pts/3 rb, Jeff 2 pts/1 rb. Not good enough. This isn't fun to watch.

WVU is certainly better than LSU.
I think WVU will soon move into top 25 and be there all year. They are big and skilled upfront and have shooters to compliment.

I like the idea of using a zone defense to switch things up but its pretty clear how bad we are at playing zone when we do.....we are getting killed on the glass and in the paint all together - that is the game right now combined with Dowtin/Martin having a minimal effect

How has every big game started the exact same?

Start well, have leads over stronger teams and then play like absolute garbage and lose.

Harris has been a huge letdown but how about our senior guard? Another no show. I thought we had two guards that could carry us....

I tried to stay positive after Maryland and LSU but we are not a tournament team.

Fatts has 12. Toppin with 5. Cyril 4, Harris and Martin 3, Jeff 2. Not a formula for success.

Dowtin and Harris with a tough first half offensively. Need to get them going in the second half.

Need a lot of Toppin the second half.

Horrific interior defense, but need more ball pressure on their guards to make entry passes more difficult. Gave up too many offensive rebounds late in the half.

URI is weak defensively. You can’t give up 44 points per half and win. WV is shoot 50%. LSU and Alabama both scored 50+ points in the second half.

Cyril & Harris total 7 points. WV two top Fs have 27 points.

Rhody Srs that were preseason all A10 have 6 points on 3-10 FG and 0-2 FTs.

Echoing a good old Rod argument!

It seems impossible for us to get them.

I'm sure Walker would have helped us in this game for sure though.

While somewhat true - every other decent D1 school has at least one 6'10" kid that can play - and most have two or more.
Might have to go outside of the DC area to get one - competition too strong there for bigs.
It does not seem like we have good recruiting connections anywhere but DC and we have zero international connections.

Makes it tough.
