Game #28: @ Dayton - Tuesday 7pm

ram1980 · Unread post by **ram1980** » 9 years ago

Need the bye badly... Hopefully R C will be packed... TJ deserves a big sendoff.. Going to miss him big time.. Stopping Bembry is going to be tough.. This team has been good after a loss.. Hopefully they can regain the defensive fire.. They look tired..

There is not a team in the a10 that works harder on defense. There is not a team in the a-10 that has to work as hard as us to score. It has caught up with us. I see us winning on Friday night but not Saturday.

If that is the case, they really need to secure the bye with a win over SJU this Saturday. Six days off might be really good for this team. Need to rest up in both a physical and mental sense.

Blue Man, all of our warts were on display tonight.

Where did the defense go? FT shooting sucked as usual, but we wouldn't have won this game shooting them at 80%.

I'm not giving up hope here though. On a neutral court, i.e. Brooklyn, I think it's a different game, much closer anyway.

Like I said, the young excuse doesn't hold much water tonight. Yeah a tough place to play, but just a short time ago, St.Joes had them beat here and let them off the hook.

They start 3 sophs. They're pretty good.

People here are complaining about our shooting, but we shot almost 50%, and missed a bunch of layups to boot. We've played worse on offense and won games this season.

Smokin', you nailed it. We had no bench tonight, we're bushed. Our D finally gave way, due to too much pressure put on it by our inconsistent O. These kids need some rest, or we'll fall apart again late.

Well that sucked. Maybe we should of tried that zone again when we couldn't stop dayton penetration in the second half.

GO RHODY!

We played arguably our worst game of the year, and Dayton did everything right. As far as point differential, it's out worst loss since the Kansas game, so we were due for a stinker I guess. Our guys just need to regroup and focus on taking down St Joe's on Saturday to secure that first round bye. I like our chances against anybody on a neutral court. We'll find out soon enough what this team is made of.

GO RHODY!!!

I'm sure what TJ has been going through has affected everyone on this team, I think a confluence of circumstances led to a tired and flat effort tonight, again I can't even imagine being able to focus on a big game while my son is fighting for his life. As TJ is the heart of the team this has to weigh on every member, it's been a tough season in terms of energy spent by these guys. I'm still very impressed by the character of this team.

Gil was a complete no-show. Didn't help the TJ situation

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

I agree with all of you.

However, where was Gil tonight? 19 minutes, 4 fouls, 1 point.

We're not beating anybody with that performance.

Just disappointed with that, that's all.

I just hope we get enough rest to play our usual D for 40 minutes on Saturday. We will need that in order to win.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 9 years ago

Woof. What a stinker. EC and Hassan played well, anybody else? Nope. Good riddance Gil. Kid tries and works hard, he just isn't very good/smart. How dumb was his first foul 30 seconds into the game? I've had enough of those plays.

Brooklyn or bust.

Go Rhody.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

OK, now that I've taken a walk around the block to cool off....
Only Hassan Martin showed up. Period.
Harsh? Maybe, but true.
Now, what about his teammates, who were jacking up shots and missing,
figuring, "Gee, that #12 guy hasn't missed a shot. Maybe we should pass it to him?"
Or how abut the coach telling them?
I forgot. We don't run plays for Martin.
Tired? They got destroyed by a team that's played six guys all season, and
came from a rugged road game with VCU.
Not buying the tired excuse. CFL is gone. No excuses for this piss poor
performance.
Mathews with 4 turnovers. Got some points in garbage time. During the run by
Dayton in the second half, he was invisible.
Terrell started great and fouls took him out.
Gil, a no show, got abused by Pollard (who Dan said we didn't want).
Reischel, 3 fouls, 0 for 3 from the field, 0-2 from the line. A perfect night.
Biggie and Garrett played OK. Only 2 turnovers combined.
I really felt bad for TJ. He was yelling at himself, and they called the technical,
which had him go from 2 to 4 fouls.
He actually played well 3-5 shooting.
We got outrebounded, missed 11 free throws, and somehow managed to
shoot 50% from the field and held Dayton to only THREE 3 pointers.
Yet we got blown out for the first time since November.
I really didn't think that would or could happen.
The deep foul problem is something we've kind of dodged, but it
came back at us bigtime tonight.
After this stinkbomb tonight, I hope we suck it up and beat
the hated St. Joe's.
I'd hate like hell to see us go to Brooklyn losing 3 out of the last
four. After all the close losses, this one stings plenty.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

15, a little harsh are we?

I'm down on him tonight, but no need to trash him.

For some reason, at times his head just isn't in the game.

We just needed everyone to play well tonight, and not many did.

We are better than that. We will prove it next weekend.

However, I'm concerned about Saturday. We really need that game, I hope we're ready.

Maybe Gil will give his best effort then. I hope so.

Rod, just one thing to add to your post: At times we look to get the ball inside, it works, and then we go away from it, seemingly for no reason. Are we becoming a team of selfish shooters?

It's a head scratcher for sure. I'm going to ask Dan about it at George's, if the fucking snow lets up long enough for there to be a show on Thursday night.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 9 years ago

I've tried to give Gil the benefit of the doubt plenty of times these last two years, especially after a good game or two. Then he goes and plays like this. Not blaming him at all for this loss, as this was a total team letdown. Just venting some frustration I've had with Gil. I guess I just expected a lot more from him this year. Weirdly enough, he's putting up worse numbers than his freshman year, which was in the (old) Big East.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

EC = 1-7 from 3, 3-6 free throws, 4 turnovers.
Gets his points, but given his weak defense, I
don't get all the announcer's hoopla.
Gilvydas? I really like him. He's funny, friendly, bright and
a really good kid.
He has talent, but even Dan hasn't been able to get it from him
in his stay here.
He just doesn't have good instincts or toughness on the court.
It's a shame, because it just seems as though he should have
been better.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Yeah, Dan has said it's all mental with him.

However, that song has been sung too many times.

Hopefully his replacement next year will be more consistent.

For sure, Biruta hasn't done what was expected of him.

Fans of other teams call him soft. They are right, unfortunately.

His experience at Rutgers many have permanently scarred him.

And Rod, EC is regressing. Badly. Maybe his foot is still bothering him, but that doesn't explain the mental mistakes he's making. Not a good sign.

Rhody15 · Unread post by **Rhody15** » 9 years ago

This was one of the handful of games (Kansas, PC, GT, VCU) that I expected to lose. Just win Saturday, forget this game, get a top 4 seed, and make some magic happen in Brooklyn. EC channels his inner Lamar Odom and hits a shot from halfcourt against Davidson in the finals for the conference tourney. Why the hell not?

Go Rhody.

NJRhodyFan · Unread post by **NJRhodyFan** » 9 years ago

I thought the real momentum shift occurred when Biggie made that boneheaded foul on the guy shooting a three. Dayton made all three FTs, and shortly thereafter TJ got called for that questionable technical, which resulted in another four points for Dayton. That mini run right before the half was extremely deflating and we never seemed to recover.

Hassan was his usual dominant self. I agree with Rod -why not keep feeding him down low?? He looked unstoppable for a few minutes there. Very puzzling to say the least. The rest of the team played poorly, Biruta especially. The guy is soft...no way around it. He just doesn't seem to step up like a senior leader should in those spots. TJ he is not, and speaking of which, my heart goes out to him and his family. And EC? Yikes. He had his usual 16-18 points, but his constant turnovers resulted in many points for Dayton. The scorekeeper was being generous because I'm convinced he had more than 4 turnovers. He needs to catch and shoot, or drive the lane only when he has a one on one matchup. The constant forcing of shots when he was three guys draped over him is getting old. I love the kid and I'm grateful that we have him, but he really needs to step back and evaluate his recent play because he can be so much more valuable if he tweaks a few areas of his game.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 9 years ago

The most memorable part of tonight, for me, was after TJ stayed on the floor after he fouled out. We all know where his thoughts were at that time. Very emotional.

If he doesn't get the loudest ovation in the history of Senior Days this Saturday, something is seriously wrong.

'83, you were correct. I was wrong.
I just finished watching the game and it was as disappointing a finish as could be to a whole day full of disappointments.

eli#10 · Unread post by **eli#10** » 9 years ago

Where was Earl? Is it possible he could have played worse than Gil? I have to say that Gil has been a real disappointment. For a smart guy he commits the most stupid fouls like the one 45 seconds into the game tonight. He must lead the country in stupid fouls committed. JR missed 3 lay ups--at least make 1 or 2 of them...
The tech on TJ could be the worst call I have ever seen. We got 1 call all night. Dan deserves credit for not losing it and getting teed up.
EC has the ball at the top of the key with 10 seconds on the shot clock and winds up invariably taking a bad shot. Penetrate and dish it out for probably an open shot.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Right now, EC needs to stop shooting 3's, and concentrate on going to the hoop.

He should have had a field day doing that tonight. He didn't.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Just because someone is a senior, doesn't always mean
he's a leader.
Some people aren't made or meant to lead. It's not a matter of age,
it's a matter of intangibles within.
Some have it, like TJ, some don't.

Regarding EC, when you hurt, sometimes your body distracts you.
It may account for his lack of sharpness, especially in the second
half of games.
If he'll still turning it over and making less that smart plays next year,
then it's EC the player, not EC the injured player.
As it stands, he's clearly not close to the player who averaged 20 ppg
since January, last year. He also had the luxury of having
Xavier Munford carrying the load and having opponent's defense
aiming to stop him.

Big Earl playing hardly at all, tells those of you who think he's the choice
to step into Gil's role next year, that it's not going to happen.
Ditto for Matthew Butler, who, despite dire foul trouble with our guards,
failed to see one second of play.
Same for Oneykaba.
Lots of off season decisions for Dan and staff.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 9 years ago

Great observations Rod. Agree completely.

Right now, Hassan is playing 1 on 2 down low. It's got to be wearing on him, he's getting no help inside.

He's a 4, playing against 4's and 5's. Both of Dayton's "big" men had field days. That shouldn't happen, but it did.

Those weaknesses have caught up with us. Other coaches aren't dummies, they see where we're weak, and attack it. LaSalle did it, and so did Dayton tonight.

Our defense was a step slow all night. I DO think there was some fatigue in play there, where was the intensity we usually see?

Dayton had all 5 of their starters come to play tonight, we had a couple. Kind of explains the score.

rhodyrudder · Unread post by **rhodyrudder** » 9 years ago

Ref #1 (Mike): I'll throw you out and I don't even care!
Minutes later, Ref #2: Are you blaming us?

And the constant baiting...I know Dan is vocal, but they LOVE to get into it with him.

Very poorly officiated game.
Great atmosphere, students were into it big time.
Only problem was the shit show that is UD Arena parking.
I was there an hour before tip, and thought it would be the second half before I got in the building.
They make you park in freaking Cincinnati and take a bus across the river!
They went undefeated at home. I can't wait til next year when WE do that!
Good first 10 minutes. After that, not so much.
Ah well, let's win the next one!

We haven't looked good since the first half at LaSalle. Saturday is not a sure thing. This team needs rest.

And, that T on TJ may have been the worst call I've ever seen And I've seen plenty.

Whatever happened to us being a 2nd half team?

Rod? Anyone?

Is it fatigue?

I know it's an excuse, but what does Dan think?

Maybe he needs to tone down the intense practices a little this week.

Practice FT's or something......

We need his points. Who else can shoot?

We have to take the bad with the good.

We NEED Saturday's game. The bye is not a done deal.

If we don't get that, we're done.

There's only 1 game between now, and hopefully next Friday. That's 10 days. Couldn't come at a better time.

We had a hell of a big second half against Davidson.
Blew it open at GM.
Just the last two games sucked in the second half.
As for tonight, the massive foul trouble has to be having a mental
impact on the players.
They can't be as free, the rotations get messed up, and worst of all,
our best players are missing a lot of time during games.
The TJ tech just put us in a hole that we weren't climbing out of.
NJRhodyfan mentioned the idiotic foul Biggie made on the 3 point
shooter, being the real turning point. He's right.
I think fouling a 3 point shooter is the worst play in basketball.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I agree with you, but after nearly a full season,
we see his time dwindling, and his production becoming
less and less.
Obviously, Dan and staff have a problem with putting Earl on
the floor for meaningful time.
I don't get it. I've asked Dan about it and all I
got was, Watson misses defensive rotations and on offense, some screens.
Oneykaba was banished to the bench very early in the season.
Is it that Dan and his staff of little guys, can't relate to bigs?
We saw five guard sets in a couple of games. It was almost as if
he didn't want to play anyone, not named Martin, up front.
You can't be Gonzaga just on the back of Hassan Martin, as great as he's been.

luke · Unread post by **luke** » 9 years ago

The problems we have on offense are directly attributable to the fact that we have no dependable shooters. There were plenty of wide open shots to be had. No one knocks them down. The opponent can sit back, sag off and fill the paint. If they could hit some jump shots we wouldn't have seen a blowout like this. We better hope that Thompson and Butts can hit open jumpers because without that we can't beat a good team like Dayton regardless of how good our defense plays. This game was very discouraging. I no longer believe they are capable of winning the A10 tournament. I knew they were done tonight when they went 3 for 8 from the line early in the first half. You can't beat a good team on their home floor shooting free throws like that. It allowed Dayton to separate from the Rams enough for them to find a comfort zone. And conversely, it was a downer for the players and put enormous pressure on them to defend and to score. To go farther next year they are going to have to shoot free throws at 68% or better and they must have at least two or three jump shooters. a 6 10 inside presence would also be nice. If they win Saturday then will finish exactly as I predicted in both OOC and the A10 so I guess I shouldn't be disappointed . The season has been another step forward. I believe Dan will get us where we want to be soon.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

To make an unexpected run in a conference tournament
or a post season tournament, it helps if you have
a Kemba Walker, Shabazz Napier or Bryce Cotton, to
get so hot as to carry the team.
We don't have anyone close to that, I'm afraid.
Even if we grind everyone on defense, our offense is never going to
carry us.
Our margin for error is very thin. We also don't seem to get lucky bounces.
We'll see what happens in Brooklyn, but I'm not as
high on winning it all as I was before the Davidson game, and this mess
tonight really stomped on my optimism.

Our fg% was 50 this game which is pretty good for us. Our defense is what really hurt us tonight and just dumb plays in general.

Obviously I don't think anyone saw a 16 point loss coming but this was going to be arguably one of the toughest games of the season. Dayton is 15-0 at home this season because they're obviously a very good team and have a great home crowd. The fact that we were playing them on their senior night also didn't help us. It would have taken something very special to win tonight and it just didn't happen.

Also all the ncaa tournament talk has led people to believe we're better than we are. Our resume tells the story of how good we are. We have no top 50 wins and in our 3 games with the the other top teams in the conference we're 0-3 with 2 of the losses being at home. We've had a relatively easy conference schedule which has really helped our record.

That is the complete list of everyone who gets to be disappointedd (if they so choose). Everyone else has had their expectations met or exceeded. Win Saturday, get the bye and let the chips fall. We've been beat two times this year - by the #2 RPI team and by a damn good A10 team in their building on senior night. Our team is led by a quartet of 19 year olds.

In the big picture as to wins and losses, yes, our expectations have been met or exceeded.

As to the perception of how good we are right now, that has taken a hit, as Rod said.

We still have a ways to go, to be considered on a level with the elite of this conference.

Our shortcomings were exposed in a big way last night.

I, too, don't think we're good enough to win 3 games in a row next weekend. Before the Davidson game, I did think we were capable of it. Not now.

It's not just one thing we're missing. Too many holes to plug as of this point.

Freshmen hit a wall at some point in the season. Maybe this TEAM has hit that wall right now. We haven't played a solid 40 minute game since UMass.

We've got to play better on Saturday. The fouling has got to stop. Too much hand checking and reaching in. The refs are going to call us on that, on the road.

I know we play aggressive defense. But right now, we're playing "tired" defense, and that results in the reaching fouls.

Terrell was exhibit A with that tonight. Dan has some serious work to do this week.

And actually TP I am not disappointed. Actually relieved in a way because I would have hated to miss the contest by only one game. Predicted 23-6 but hopefully now end at 21-8. I would have looked back at that Georgia tech loss with even greater regret.
Odd stat tonight was that our starting line up finished the game with a total of zero steals.
Even more amazing with Watson's lack of playing time is that it is coming at a time when Biruta is not playing very well.
Maybe this takes some of the pressure and high expectations away heading into Barclay's.
A10 tournament championship is the requirement just as most have said for the past month.

This team is young, has overachieved, and has now had its second blowout loss the entire season.

Next year when they come back and are pretty much a consensus pick to be a tournament and maybe even a top 25 team, or close, to start the season, the fact that they lost at Dayton on their senior night in a non-competitive game will be completely meaningless.

Several posters on the A-10 Board have chosen to make personal attacks against Coach Hurley once again. A thread that was supposed to be about last night's game has deteriorated into bashing Hurley. It seems no one cares about Dayton's dominating performance and big win in the race for first. They would rather resort to calling Hurley:

complete dick
f*****g asshole

ass

I really have grown to dislike many of the posters on the A-10 Board in the last two years. That board used to have some decent information and discussion. It sadly has sunk to sewer level.

Assuming the top 4 all win their final game (yes Rhody will beat SJU) then Rhody's potential semi final opponent will be Dayton regardless of what happens in the VCU/Davidson game.
If Davidson wins seeds are: 1) Davidson 2) Dayton 3) Rhody 4) VCU
If VCU wins seeds are: 1) Dayton 2) VCU 3) Davidson 4) Rhody

I know there is a lot of work for Rhody to do to get to semis. Hoping they play well to get there.
It will be a great accomplishment to be in the top 4 of the A10 with this young team.
