This is Ramon's worst game at La Salle. Nothing he can do tonight. The rim is about the size of a pindrop for him.

One of the most pathetic 1/2's of b-ball i have ever seen. G needed to bench Galloway. This yeam has no guts, the Glass Joe of college basketball

Well, we can't possibly play worse the next half.
I counted three iffy shots that entire half. If you can't score there's nothing you can do. Our defense hasn't been dreadful.

Talk about sh*tting the bed in the first half. They're making Charlotte look like world beaters right now.

Shots are there to be taken, just nobody can hit anything. Not many teams can be beaten when you score 17 in a half

I don't think this team is gutless. They're driving and taking open looks. Guts can't make a ball go through a basket. They're fighting for rebounds and loose balls and hustling back on defense. Their heads aren't down.

Ok. Embarrassing. And I repeat embarrassing. Is Charlotte now some "unbelievable" ACC school. Give me a break. We're we even playing basketball in the first half. 17 points in a half. Way to come out clicking in A-10 play. EMBARRASSING!

Prediction: We'll get hot in the second half, and it won't matter, because it's too late.

Charlotte sucks. It is one thing to get your ass kicked by VCU but Charlotte is terrible. Any real team would be up 30 on us after that performance.
Every single player on the floor for us was terrible in the first half. Not one was any good.

It's going to take a miracle to win this game. Think about it for a second. Say we heat up and score 40 pts. in the second half and they cool down and only score 25 pts. We still lose by 1 point. We really dug ourselves a huge hole.

Every single player on the floor for us was terrible in the first half. Not one was any good. Absolutely. Think of their missed foul shots and short put backs. We should be down about 25.

Well, can someone tell me what we did that was wrong?
I saw a team that ran its offense the way it has all year, except that it literally could get nothing to fall. We're one of the best deep shooting teams in the country and went one for infinity. Ramon's a great player and can't get a thing to fall. He took two shots I wish he didn't take but everything else is what he's been doing all year. We haven't come close to a shot clock violation and have had absolutely zero luck getting roles.
I saw a defense that was getting beat a little bit (especially Garland) that adjusted by putting two bigs on the floor and doing a much better job on switches. I saw Tyreek Duren running down the court to prevent that fast break late in the half. We're competing on the glass.
It is what it is. It's not poor effort. It's not bad shot selection. It's not a lack of running an offense or playing lazy defense. It's a team that went absolutely stone cold.

I am watching Dayton/VCU rignt now on the tube. VCU can flat out play, and Dayton is not too shabby either. Hanging with them. This is going to be a very difficult first 7 games, and a loss to Charlotte can put us in an hole that may only get bigger... This season can get ugly in a hurry if we don't bounce back in the 2nd half against Charlotte. BTW...VCU has an outstanding fan base out there.

The 2nd half is definitely going to be a gut check.
Play tough D! When the ball starts to fall let's not trade baskets. Let's not be down by 30.\
We are better than this >Seem to be pressing like we did against Miami.
i hate our O!!!

Yeah, shots dropping or no...you have to come up with more than 17 points in a half in a college basketball game, at least a Men's one.

It isn't a secret that we have no inside game and that if we can't hit 40% or more against a solid team from 3 point land we are done. I noticed before that Garland is very poor on defense and Ramone keeps on throwing up threes evan when he can't hit the ocean from the beach. Better get used to this because it is going to be a tough A10 season with 8 wins being tops. Thank goodness for GW, RI, Ford., St. B but as we know even they can beat us. Goodnite

OK, I know some of you can barely contain how thrilled you are we're losing so you can play the well-worn "I told you so" card and anything you can say about this team's performance TONIGHT they sure deserve, but can we maybe wait until mid-way through the second half of the first A-10 game before declaring the season a lost cause?

ESPN shows in the first half LaSalle was 1 for 13 for 3 pointers. Just like the Miami game. Bombs away. A lazy way to play basketball. G should ban any player from taking a 3 pt shot until they have made 2 inside the paint.

Good start to the half. Cut it to 9 right away. Still a lot of work to do.

Oh totally; they sucked. But revising season forecasts and the outlook long-term seems a bit severe.
