  1. No . He signed his letter of intent. He is here. I also believe that the transfer portal will be so big in the upcoming weeks that Killings does not want to waste a scholarship until we see who is in there.
  2. Yes . Sets are better this half . Much better . As said several times on this board , talent .....not so much
  3. Now the 2nd half has not been coaching, just really bad bad players. They have done a much better job, getting the ball down low, getting cerutti open looks (running plays for him). They just stink. So we can give the coaching staff credit for at least doing something.
  4. I would say a combination of all 3 . Some on this board believe it's all lack of talent. But that's just not correct . We need to give Killings the year because these are not his guys. Let's see what he does next year. That will be a telling point.
  5. For those who forgot we have a 2nd team player , and 3rd team player , a Defensive player of the year and a rookie of the year. I agree the talent is not great but there is some there. Today it's coaching .
  6. The above is a complete lack of basketball knowledge . No offense . Not even a little . D1 teams run sets . Sets- are plays, or rotations . This is not happening. I agree the players are not very good but the lack of sets is astounding. No adjustments. No timeouts to correct it. I stand by my post of poor coaching.
  7. 13 points in the first half against a conference opponent is COACHING. Nothing but COACHING. And we would be crazy not to be worried about that.
  8. Completely agree. Perfect post . Hopefully he gets his guys who can put the ball in the basket and we will see something different.
  9. No eligibility left. Haha . Played 4 years at UA though. We finished dead last in the AE in points per game. Slightly better than average on the defensive end. Hopefully they play well tomorrow. If Hartford hits their 3's we probably have no shot.
  10. Wrong again. They would have been on the road against New Hampshire or Hartford. So once again your posts make no sense. My point is that IN MY OPINION, I would rather play Hartford than New Hampshire on THE ROAD.
  11. I am most certainly not saying it's a win because we can lose to anyone in the league and proved that, however Hartford is the better match up for us. I know they are getting healthy but I still like the match-up. If they shoot lights out we have no shot against anyone, mostly because we can't score the ball. We will see what happens but I'm hoping DK plays Perry instead of Newman. That will spread the defense and give us a better shot of defending the 3 point shot.
  12. That will cancel out the 1 or 2 illegal screens Newman gets per game . Haha.
  13. We didn't lose that game because of the 3s (however they made them ). They only scored 67 points. We lost it for other reasons.
  14. Good news : we are not a good team . If u told me we would get 9 wins with this team I would have signed up for that. Bad news: DK coaching these last few games. I don't want to say that without giving my opinion. Hutch should be playing 3/4 of the time over Reddish Neely should be playing 3/4 of the time over Newman. Doles should be playing more of the 5. What's happening is Newman and Champion can't shoot. So they are really playing off them not allowing the others to score. The fact he does not see that is mildly alarming . I have always said I will give DK the year and I will. However he will get his guys in here next year and I expect marked improvement.
  15. He did not call a single timeout in the first half of the Stony Brook game either. Fyi.
  16. I have questioned DK's rotations for the last 4 games or so. Would love to know why Reddish plays more then Neely . Maybe Neely doesn't have the legs but damn. Newman, especially with Perry back should see about 3 mins .
  17. I can't believe Reddish and Newman play as much as they do. Reddish had never seen a shot he has not liked and is terrible . Newman does not do anything right. He has some good games but should not be playing this late in the year.
  18. It may seem like a man crush but Neely is the pot that stirs the drink. Horton is our best player however , We have 2 points in our first 6 minutes. Neely comes in and we get 21 points in the next 8 minutes. His defense is not great but he commands respect on the offensive end and rebounds the crap out of the ball.
  19. Severely outcoached and outplayed. Team was not ready to play today. However they have overachieved in conference play. Move on. And recruit players who can hit the open shot.
  20. That was an Atrocious and Pathetic 1st half. Stony Brook is a shell of themselves. We have 7 points over the last 12+ minutes and Killings refuses to call his use it or lose it timeout. We continue to play guys in the first half that have no business playing. Hopefully we play the right guys in the 2nd half and we make some adjustments.
  21. I would also state its a message board. I don't think it's wrong to give real time reactions to what is going on. We were playing poorly and getting out coached. I think we can all agree in those facts and state those facts. The team turned it around and beat a very bad team on the road. Good for them. This year is about growing and I believe both the team and coaching staff did that.
  22. Yes they did . But I would argue they won despite the coaching. Too many examples to list , but look at the time out with 50 seconds left and the shot they got out of it. I have zero problem losing because of lack of talent. I have a big problem if it's coaching. However coaches will have bad games , especially new ones. Glad they got the win . In the end that's all that matters.
