10 points in our first 20 possessions of the half.  But now 5 in the last  5

I know this game is over. I just want to see us run better offense. The defense has been basically fine (we’ve only given up 1 three this half, and we’ve held their starters to 2-9 from three - it’s basically been the two bench guys for them who provided the margin).  But let’s see something besides one on one.

Have we scored on back to back possessions tonight? 

why can't they rebound. Flopping?

Total bullshit. 5 players but no team play. Sub .500 team again.

Tough to watch. I understand we had tough travel to play. If I have to watch Bishop play like this all year I’m going to have a heart attack. We did not look like we were prepared for a 3 point shooting opponent. Offense quickly turns into one on one with no passing. Tuesday night will be telling to me if JC can motivate his team. Really poor effort.

Good question. Nonetheless, we should be able to handle it.
Another question: why do we apply a bit of defensive pressure only when the game is hopeless?

I believe we had 14 consecutive empty possessions in the first half.   That’s a Godzilla and a Turkey against us.  Sad. 

And needing a big start to the second half, we scored 10 points in our first 20 possessions.  You just can’t have so many empty possessions and expect to win.

I thought the defense was mostly fine, but we need to work on ball movement and off ball movement. It was truly horrible all game long.

In fact, I would say that UCSD looked like a MUCH better coached team. The way they moved the ball and rotated on defense was what good teams do, and we rarely look that way under Jc even when we are playing well.

(As an aside, their starters were 2-10 from three, but they got huge contributions from some bench guys - I would be very curious what the scoring report said about the two bench guys who hit 7 threes, considering that’s about twice as many as their had in their career.  In fact, the three bench guys that combined to go 9-14 had only hit a combined 10 threes vs d1 teams in their career before tonight.  Not sure if that was bad scouting or just an opponent that got unusual contributions today - like if we play a game where Qwanzi and Freeman hit 7 threes, I assume we will romp).

Stop blaming the refs, the travel, the bad popcorn, and on and on. Stop enabling this coach!!!

Exceptionally awful scheduling.

Have ours kids in a charged up electric Maryland game, hop in a plane and fly 3000 miles with one day off in a pretty dead building.  

Beyond that though, we're going to struggle all year in certain aspects. We have no depth, and a very limited frontcourt, and does the team have sufficient range shooting?  




 

Also, don't look now but UMass Lowell won at Dayton. How many pompoms here locked that as a W?
