Is this the 3rd game that CJ's jersey did not make the trip?

I was happy to see the bench guys playing. Felt they brought some energy, even if it was a bit hectic. Enjoyed watching them play.

Horrendous defense especially low. Turnovers. Poor rebounding. Zero adjustments

Our defense is historically bad. Discounting the halftime buzzer beater, we allowed 37 points to a team that struggles to get to 60 most nights. 36 should have been enough for us to have a lead at the half.

Defense has been a constant fail. Agree. Nothing new there. Energy and rebounding has been decent tonight. And, McCall has made quite a few moves (some have worked, others no). Does the proverbial ‘zero adjustments’ simply mean we are losing? Leaving aside our usual shitty D, I say the brick fest was the biggest problem in first 20.

Wow. Letting Dominguez shoot is not ideal. And he's soft underneath. First half didn't see adjustments. They scored at will. No defensive changes. 2nd half these guys are ripping us on 3s and inside. To be down double digits in every game is telling.

Seems like our opponents play the best games of their careers against us.

Get it down to 7 with mo and then take two horrible shots (CJ and Weeks) and two bad turnovers (Noah and Buttrick) to seal the deal. Really dumb basketball.

Kinda unreal how Neptune lapped McCall before even wrapping up his 1st year.

Giving up 85 to Fordham is something.

I didn’t watch the game so that’s all I’ve got.

"The door is that way," says everyone to McCall.
