Re: KAEO: Jonathan Laurent

Sounds to me that he has already made the decision to transfer, but is undecided as to where he'll go. I liked JL, but it's good for the team if he transfers; more playing time for the freshman and sophs.

Re: KAEO LuWane Pipkins (PG-2015)

I'm interested to see where he ends up, and what kind of role he has on that team. He's had a down year, and I think that it's due in large part to other teams adjusting how they cover him. He lacks the quickness to offset teams utilizing larger players to defend him. I wish him well, but I think ...

Re: Game 29, 2018-19: at Duquesne (3/2)


Refs have sucked (both ways) but can't blame this one on the refs. Way too many turnovers. Tre has a lot of potential and I like his game, but he is a huge liability when it comes to taking care of the basketball at this point.

At least they played hard today, seemingly to a man.


Usually I ...

Re: Game 18 @ VCU 1/19/19

Not much to say about an 18pt loss which gives the team their 6th straight loss and fifth in a row to start conference play. We are now on par with Fordham. This season has really sucked.

Is Tre Wood going to play again this season, or is he a redshirt and transfer candidate?

Re: Game 17 - George Mason 1/16/19


So McCall calls time out for the last possession of the first half...he puts Holloway in the game...Pipkins dribbles for 25 seconds, then misses a contested layup. I just don’t get it.


Meh, that was not a difficult shot to make. Pipkins has been a shell of his ‘17-‘18 self. He doesn’t seem to ...

Re: Game 17 - George Mason 1/16/19

They just keep finding ways to lose. McCall has his faults but he can’t make the FT’s, layups, and wide open shots.

Re: Game 16 @ Dayton 1/13/19

Sad state of affairs when everyone is pleased with the effort in a loss. I don't care about the talent level on this team. We might end up a bottom-four team in the league in a year when the league isn't any good, and that fucking sucks!

Diallo is going to be something special. I hate complaining about the officials but these refs suck.

Re: Game 15 - 2018-19 - St. Louis 1/9/19

St. Louis plays great D but our offense, if you can call it that, is absolutely putrid. It’s one-on-one basketball with a high ball screen. That has to be the UMass Basketball that DK was talking about for all of those years, because he’s gone and that offense has held strong.

Defense looks much ...

Re: What will we look like in 2018-2019?

What’s stood out to me this season is the opposite of what most posters were giving McCall credit for last season and that’s player development. Pierre has regressed and Pipkins and most others have plateaued. Hayward got more burn as a freshman in the SEC than he is on a bottom-of-the-A-10 squad ...

Re: Game 14 - 2018-19 - La Salle 1/5/19

McCall continues to make poor personnel decision. McCall is not a very good coach. I think we replaced a mediocre coach for another one. The big season from Pipkins and Pierre and lack of depth last season masked a lot of his weaknesses as a coach.

Re: Game 10, 2018-2019 Providence 12/7/18

The 3-second call and calling a kick ball during a scrum for the ball really changed the momentum of this game.

Re: Game 9, 2018-2019 Holy Cross, 12-4-18

Posters are worried about McCall leaving for a better job when they should be worried about this year’s team losing to Howard and Holy Cross. This team looks poorly coached in the Harvard, Howard, and tonight against Holy Cross.
