MVP of the 1st half: Unique McLean.
Yeah, better not play him much in the second half.

Looks like Holloway is benched. Rotating Batiste and Chatman all half

Well, its not intensity, not effort, not rebounding or defense. Its really just making shots fall

well, they looked decent for a while... until they shot themselves out of it.
Lots of crap to grumble about. I will say I liked the offensive rebounding

Great effort, but our O skills are totally lacking. Pts in first half came from effort on glass. Second half - just ugly, cannot finish.

I think most if not all expected a loss in this game. They played well in the 1st half but VCU just wore them down in the 2nd and took control. It seems so silly to say, but they need to make shots. Pip was 3/15, Pierre 2/9, and Clergeot 1/6 for a total of 6/30 (20%). Not good from your starting backcourt.

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?

Where is Niles? Do we have any recruit coming in next year that might be able to shoot 30% or more from the floor?
We're in trouble if not.

Not even really a moral victory. We faded with the horrific offense and we did play with good intensity, effort on D but what can be said. I'm tired of watching losing basketball, no room for moral victories anymore. I'm out of ideas though, if Pip is going to keep shooting like this he needs to start shooting a lot less, but not sure who will pick him up. Pierre seems limited to spot 3's, Cobb is really inconsistent, Laurent has disappeared lately. Who's gonna step up and carry this offense? Losing patience, had to turn the last 3 minutes of the game off.

what are you suggesting here? The only people who can fix it are in the locker room already.
When should I start to worry about the program under McCall? I am definitely starting to think about worrying.

I have no suggestions. Just a frustrated fan at this point.

I thought you may be calling for some kind of personnel change. I don't think any are coming.

What has happened to the offense? Our lowest scoring game of the year.

Pip not wanting to be here and Pierre in a sophomore slump is killing this team.
