This has been about as discouraging a week as this team could have possibly had

Have you ever seen a player like Brissett miss so many point blank shots? And by miss I mean shots that don’t even come close to hitting the rim?
There's something weird with his form up close. It's like he's sidearming it or something.

Maybe that's how they teach it in Canada.
 
Correction...that WILL haunt us on Selection Sunday.

We’re not going to be in the discussion. We’re going to be 12-6 and 1-4 in conference in another week. Probably looking at 18-15, That might not even get us in the NIT. It is what it is.
 
JB has always counted on talent carrying the O. We simply dont have any shooters. Couple that with Jim not being the best X&O offensive coach and you end up with a team that cant score.
The more troubling point for me is that we are now getting beat on rebounds and hustle plays. We are a 500 team. Next year we add three guys who can shoot and score and you have to think that our returning players will all improve.
Good news on Sid as he looked more mobile so credit to the medical staff:)
Last point why has our crowd turned into a non factor. No energy at all. We really need the fans to show up.

Yep it’s always a weird scoop shot

I say this preparing to head out to see the UVM game in -25 real feel weather, but would you head to the Dome to see that in weather like they were having in Syracuse. The product on the floor just isn't great. Unfortunately.

Students are still on break so it's a more subdued crowd.
 
as bad as our offense clearly is (and it's, like, right now as bad as a D1 offense can be) both of these last two games were lost on our inexplicable inability/unwillingness to get defensive rebounds.
We could have survived both games scoring 50ish points if we'd just done an minimally acceptable job on the glass—an area we had dominated up until this past week.

Inexplicable.
 
Big letdown. Both winnable games that we collapsed in.

What's even more frusturating is that they gave him the foul line jumper all day. Be can make that shot all day but chose to drive and throw up crazy shots instead

It’s a big weakness in his game now. Brissett needs to work on his outsides shot, long and mid range, and his handle. He also has a terrible habit of twisting almost every time he drives into traffic.
