Trying to stay calm and embrace the rebuilding… but wow this is a bit tough to feel good about.
Horrible decisions with the ball and I’m not understanding the constant drives into traffic and then sending a prayer up

This is the most interesting development of tonight for me so far.
One guy who has been constantly praised, another who was supposed to redshirt at one point?

Samb needs to stop trying to go for blocks that he has no chance of getting. Keeps taking himself out of position for rebounds and #24 is having a career night as a result

Is Weston wearing a back brace or some kind of heating pad on his back?

Very winnable game if we cut back on the turnovers and keep Q off the offensive boards.

We trail 34-31 halftime
12-5 turnovers the main culprit
I would have thought Bray would have played more despite 2 fouls and Alex needed more minutes he was better than Samb

Not really a surprise based on early reports and Archie's comments on the coach's show. Sounds like for as confused as we all were, even he didn't know exactly what he has with this roster yet

Kind of what I expected so far. We'll win some games this year because we'll play hard - get hustle points, play decent defense - but we don't really have anyone on the offensive end that scares people, except maybe Freeman. We lost 37.5 PPG from last year's roster and replaced it with ???. Ultimately, I think the program will be stronger for it, but again I'll be happy if we end the year with 2 or 3 players that'll be on the next URI tournament team.

They look like my 13 year old son’s AAU team. I guess they are still trying to figure things out.

Size matters. Samb is not big/strong enough vs these guys. Alex looks good though. Need Bilau back soon.

There's clearly not this many students in the student section, which highlights the problem with putting students in the worst seats in the building. If the rest of the building isn't packed they're just going to fill in where they can instead of sitting in the worst seats and then you don't have a unified student section. This was an issue going back to when I was going to games as a student in Keaney and they dumped us on the old stage area

Gave up 10 off rebounds in the half to a smaller team. Need to do better in the 2nd. Need all 5 guys rebounding.

To be fair we’re winning the rebounding battle 28-20, not my biggest concern although it doesn’t help.
12 turnovers in a half on the other hand, thats how you lose games

If he's not big/strong enough against Quinnipiac and a player that transferred there from Columbia I'm not really sure what he can bring going forward
