Cool maybe this teaches us to show up for every game. It was silly to think we could push for the tourney this season but hopefully we can find a way to .500 in the A10

McCall never seems to press the right buttons and too often gets outcoached.

They were able to get the ball inside and then kick it out for open 3's. That's a reflection both of their organized offense and our disorganized defense. How come with a guy like Tre we couldn't do that?

Well that was a pretty shitty performance. Disappointed in that I am hoping to see more consistency this year. Incredibly early obviously, but this one was discouraging. We should not be losing to Northeastern.

Need to get something offensively from Carl or TJ. Need to make things harder on defense.

Anywho rough one. Not end of the world but disappointing across the board.

I'm not a huge fan of McCall but this season and these early games are probably not good games to judge by.

Would love to get Preston back but I think we will be fine. We have 6 or 7 very solid players.. like others have said it will come down to coaching in the end

I mean 18 points, 4 Rebs, 4 ast, and 3 steals in his 2nd career game and our best player on the court today? I stand by it. Needs to clean up the mistakes a bit but he's impressive.

We had a chance.

What is Carl Pierre doing driving it to the lane with <5 seconds down 3? Jeez.

Real bad. For my sanity I’ll chalk this one up to the COVID start to the year/back to back against a really good coach. But that’s the only pass MM is getting this year. There’s too much talent on this team for that kind of performance. The team got a lot better as the season went on last year, so MM has shown at least some coaching chops. He’s gotta step it up.

And for the senior leader to drive the hoop with 5 seconds left when we have TJ Weeks on the team? Also real bad.

Why did CP drive to the basket there??? Love the fight at the end.. they just needed to bring that energy much earlier

WHAT!!!
Down 3 with no TO!!!! Why drive Crazy They love the 3 except when the game is on the line!!!

Not sure why a 3 didn't go up there at the end, but, hey, that’s what we do.

Out of TOs

^Exactly! Away game, not going to get a call most likely. Take the 3 to tie, or lose.

Very poor decisions on his passes.....cross court...poor angles on post passes...
