Do we really only have two team fouls? Sounds like we're giving too much space. Defense is not the problem today. Hideous offense is. Lets not kid ourselves. Everything is the issue.

We get a steal and chance to get back in the game and Lewis tries behind the back pass. Mind boggling.

Awful first half in an awful season. Everything is wrong with this team. Everything.

We don't have the same energy like we did last year. We also don't have the same quiet confidence we seemed to have. We look and feel like 3-4 years ago blah.

You can't win if you can't make shots. Period. They aren't doing anything differently than the past two years. The shots aren't falling at all.

I'm sure Fox Sports 1 is really looking forward to La Salle at Villanova next weekend.

Team can't shoot it has happened game after game. Peterson looks terrified when he shoots and our best three point shooter Mills I believe has taken only one shot. We are going to struggle to finish .500 it is that bad and even more unbelievable.

We run our offense through big way more now and the guards stand around. Zack and Wright force bad shots they can never make and we get very few easy shots. That was not happening last year. No offensive flow and way more stupid decisions that in the past.

The best they can do is eat open looks. If you shoot 20% and don't crash the boards you are going to give up easy looks on the other end. That is what is happening. If they make anything close to what they should be shooting we win this. But man, how is a whole team this cold at once?

We just aren't quick and explosive enough to penetrate and kick which we did so well last year. I am truly surprised at our lack of athleticism and as each game plays out, my respect for what Ramon did for us grows.

If team could shoot OK we would actually be a solid to good team but when just about avery player forgets how to shoot you have what we have and that is serious problems.

I think we are watching different games. The offense is the same. They missed like seven wide open threes and a bunch of bunnies inside. The design of the offense isn't bad. Missing shots is.

This is just how they shoot, and it's terribly. I don't think I need to see much or Zack or DJ this half. Tighten up the rotation, go with the guys who've been least bad.

The design of the offense isn't bad. Missing shots is. We will agree to disagree. The bigs are far more invoked in the offense than previously I believe. And when you force shots and can't shoot fouls it spells disaster among the other thing wrong with the team.

I recall how last year the ball moved quickly around the outside so that the opposing defense could not keep up. Also the dribble drive and the kick back out. This team speed was even commented on by TV commentators. This speed seems to be missing this year. Having said that the FG %is woeful even with open shots.

We haven't done much in the way of steals to help our offense get easy breaks either.

This would be an advantageous time to score while Stonybrook is cold.

Nothing about this team feels natural or organic. It looks like we're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole on both sides of the ball.

Good take for Ty.
I haven't seen enough games to know, have we been trying to keep the tempo high like we did last year? Our run tere benefited from getting up the floor on offense. Don't like our half-court which was true of last year as well.

mills on the line w a chance to take the lead. That was a solid 15 seconds of play. (or a 3 and some sloppy play by SB).
Honestly it seems like we should be killing the SeaWolves right now. if ANYTHING was goin down.

Why did we switch the lineup after the run? Those guys deserve to stay in.

We should try to run something to get Mills shooting from three. He used to be one of our best threats. Haven't seen him do much on offense in a while.
