I think JimSidd spelled it out.

What went wrong in the Brown game? When we went down by double digits, the first instinct was to stop trying to pound the ball down and just chuck up a bunch of threes. Which is also an abandonment of the Defense. Because basically you are signalling to the other team that you don't believe your Defense is strong enough to hold them or even slow them down, so you need to chuck up a bunch of aimless three pointers to "catch up" that you know aren't going to fall, in desperation.

That was the most disappointing thing about the Brown game. They finally returned to form in the last 5 mins, but too late. They should have never abandoned the game plan in the first place.

Fatts launching shots from the logo now ... ??

I always go early to watch their pre-game routine, although I'm not there today. Every game, Fatts and Dadika shoot from the logo as part of their routine.

LFG URI!!!!!!

Couldn't make game today , GO RHODY! Fortunately I can watch it.

Just win this damn game please!

Same deal for me and the Ryan Center looks empty.

Great crowd!

......shooting woes continue from outside.....

Tyrese has 8 rebounds in 6 minutes.

This offensive sets are awful. What is cox calling?

Love that Martin is competing so hard

last 5 possessions: 1 for 5 on three pointers. All early three point attempts with tons of time left on the clock. Not even looking to get the ball inside.

Walker comes up gimpy from an attempted layup

And 3 of those from Jermaine.

This is another team where we need to own the paint.....please David

Wtf are they doing on offense?

......maybe we hav,e committed to live by the three, die by the three...

Last Will and Testament....

They are lucky Richmond has decided to do the same thing this game, and they are almost as bad at outside shooting.

Whatever happened to "the physical A-10 Conference"? It's like Fatts and Toppin and the plodding white guy on Richmond are the only ones that like to initiate contact out there

Shooting man. It’s embarrassing.

Rhody shooting 24% from the field. Luckily, Richmond not much better. I'm listening on the radio. Sounds ugly.

The same thing they have been doing for the last year and a half unfortunately.

"Plodding White Guy" ... Isn't that a punk band from Greenwich Connecticut?

I've seen Tyrese throw two lazy passes for easy turnovers this game already, and it's early. I think this is something to keep an eye on. As much as Tyrese brings to the table, those are killers against a better team than Richmond.

The paint is WIDE open. It a soul in there.

Unfortunately the same thing we have been doing on offense for the last year and a half.

Remember when everyone credited Cox for fixing Hurley's offense the last couple years. Those were the days...

.......” I told our guys, they gotta make shoots......”

Can’t help but to think our training methods are hurting our free throws and jump shots.

Maybe Fatts can just stay on the defensive end of the court and stay there while we play 4 against 5 on offense?

We need dowtin running the show

What the fuck happened to this team. This is awful

Pathetic.

Richmond is just about what I thought they were. We are just much worse than I thought.

Wonder if we'll break 40 points today! Should be an exciting second half!

Gross gross gross

Wow...that first half was so painful.

5-14 in LAYUPS!

I have lost hope now and I am super optimistic

Hearing some boos. Not a good half

19 points! Terrible.

anyone here still think 14-4 in conference is possible? Effort is there I guess, but this team is just woeful on offense. Why is this staff not able to see that we cant shoot? Our best offense is driving to the basket, we have become a very easy team to "guard".

This is like accompanying your best friend to the dentist, to watch them slowly get every one of their teeth drilled. It's horrific, but you can't look away.

I asked for ball and player movement pregame: haven’t gotten it so far.
Just one time, I wish someone would grab an offensive rebound with two hands and go up strong, instead of these feeble tip attempts. At worst, he would get fouled.

What kind of play was that to end the half? A 3 for Long....are u kidding me. What a wasted possession. We are not playing smart and are being out coached right now. Dowtin is in a major funk and Fatts is once again being asked to do to much and he is getting tired and frustrated and that’s only going to lead to bad play. We need a more balanced scoring attack. Because we are not a great shooting team we need to get points in the post through Langivine, Harris and Walker. I know Richmond has a tall big man but we have to at least try to attack him.

What happened to the team that would score near 90 points? And is undefeated at home? Shots and free throws are short which means it’s stamina fatigue or muscle fatigue. Something happened.

That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen in a college basketball game . They continue to force up VERY low percentage
shots just hoping it will go in . Martin and Russell are the most guilty of it . I think this game may be over already . What has happened
to this team ? They have to be more patient on offense . They have a team of poor shooters and one of the reasons is shot selection . If I see
another off balance flip it up there shot from Martin or Russell I will vomit. Not one good jump shooter on this team either . I am
not sure I can watch much more of this team and they have 17 more conference games before this season mercifully ends . It is painful to watch.

So you want the leading scorer in the A-10 to not come onto the offensive end of the court? Fire Cox, hire JimiT

What has happened to this team?

It's one thing to lose, but to lose like this? 19 pts. People playing volleyball under the net.

Not only having Long take the last shot of the half not smart, but didn't Cox still have his use it or lost it time out available?

who is the tall player with the neon yellow sneakers wearing his hoodie during the shoot around?

AGITA CITY

another bad, lazy pass by Tyrese
