Looks like we are in for a less than stellar season. I thought .500 but unless St John’s is class of Big East, it looks like we will be at bottom half of A10. Team is undisciplined.

Inexcusable how we handle the basketball.

We just do not have an offense. You can win without a great offense. If you don’t have many shooters. If you don’t have great offensive rebounders. Etc. you can’t win if you don’t even get a shot off. And that’s where we are right now. Possibly the worst I’ve seen la salle play.

26 turnovers, too many points in the paint for St. John's, poor free throw shooting. Ash has fixed nothing since last season. We were in this game and got mentally lazy. First game of the season so it may be an unfair assessment, but this team does not look cohesive.
I never expected us to be as sloppy with the ball as we were in this game. I'm not expecting much more tomorrow with St. Peter's having really good defense.

3 years and no cogent offense
Love ayinde and jig. No reason for DB to ever run point on this team.
Jig was most composed player we had. Incredible feel operating in close quarters. We don’t really have anyone else like that

did not expect us to play this poorly. this was ugly. so many basic fundamental things (e.g practicing plain old 8th grade ball security, foul shooting, anticipating the double team that they did all the time etc).
I think we get better. But very disappointing showing and on National tv.

Beatty, Jared K and Kenney do not need to see the floor if they are going to play the way they did...
Very disappointed in Ashley.. You have had more than a season now to figure out the style that you wanna play and the personnel that goes with.. He is still doing John G line changes..
Turnovers, poor decision making, “Star ball” and poor free throw shooting... It is fine that the roster is large but play the good players...

I was lucky. My wife made me turn off the game at halftime because I was doing too much cursing in front of grandkids. Horror show. Is the game on TV tomorrow? Grandkids will not be here.

I don’t think anyone expected Beatty to get in so much foul trouble so quickly. inexperienced guards thrust into the spotlight. Brickus seemed calm under fire. The rest were horrid.

I know its only game one. But how depressing. New year same story. Horrible Turnovers , missed free throws, playing 100mph every possession. No team identity. No offensive structure.
Why cant we identify who is good in practice and not rely on game time? I hate "lets see what rotation is working" approach. Or What players have the hot hand this game. Tired of playing teams like st johns , who will probably end the year with a losing record, like theyre UNC. Fuck man. One time go into a game with confidence and play like you believe it.

Adding insult to injury, the Hawks look much improved over last season and just took a lead over Auburn with 1:03 left in their game.

Two priorities from scrimmage broadcast were not achieved
Getting ball in point
Points off turnovers
Need the right lineup mix and execution for both to improve
Also need better spacing, ball movement and shot selection
I wil stop at 5 to dos

What is most lacking on our La Salle Explorers MBB team : a Ryan Daly ( or equivalent ).
All of us on this board are all too familiar with his life story to this point. All the kid does is LEAD / FINISH / WIN.

You could put on any random game from 2018-2020 seasons and see the same kind of basketball we saw today. There's been little to no progress made in improving the play on the court. The players change, the results stay the same. Ashley needs to get this turned around or we're going to be looking for a new HC sooner than any of us anticipated.

All the kid does is LEAD / FINISH / WIN. They were 6-26 last year. His worst year in the A-10, which was his only year in the A-10, would be the worst year La Salle has ever had in the A-10. But maybe he does lead and finish?

St Peters is a team that only lost to St. John’s by 1...

Groundhog Day analogy was PERFECT.
Same today?
I must have missed it but was there any mention of why Anwar Gill was a DNP?

Hard to find a positive in yesterday's performance. In a season that will have many stops and starts Ash will have to decide on whether or not this is a rebuild or a win now season. Tough choice for a coach. If we're going to take our lumps anyway do you play the kids to get them valuable game experience or do you play the upperclassmen who have been in the program. Tough choices ahead for Ash.

I don't want to over-react to one game but very disappointing. This team started to improve towards the end of last year but yesterday was a huge step back against a mediocre opponent. Let's see how they bounce back.
