For those at the game, are Benning and Milin hurt. No burn at all in the first half?
The lack of consistency as to how this roster is used from game to game-and even within a game has to be difficult for the players. It sure is for this fan. A coaching staff can make adjustments for an opponent or depending on how a game is transpiring. But player thrive when they understand their roles. And it seems the depth and deep bench we have this year is underutilized, especially when we have players on the floor getting extended minutes despite struggling.
So you're disappointed that the coach's strategy has us playing darn near even with an ACC team on the road? Interesting.
LOL You're a fellow Fairfield grad, right? So I assume your reading comprehension is better than you demonstrate. I asked a question about non-playing time for two players today so far. And further commented on the season-long inconsistency of player minutes, rotations and personnel groupings.
You chose to use my post to once again defend SJ.
Am I disappointed we were within three at the half against an ACC opponent (even an ACC bottom-feeder like BC) in their gym? Of course not.
I am disappointed that our program has been mostly mired in mediocrity-or less- for most of the last 8 years. I am disappointed that we are 2-8. I am disappointed that the core fan base has eroded to a handful of diehards like those of us on this message board. I am disappointed (again) that although the game is close, we have no coherent offensive strategy other than to mostly shoot 3's, still struggle with defensive rotations in our 11th game, and are again getting beat on the glass, much of it attributable to the way our schemes position our bigs.

Other than that, all is great! Carry on.
Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, the offensive strategy is to recruit lots of 3 point shooters and let them shoot? It might not be what you like, but it is a strategy, and one that many coaches are employing in this day and age.
Yes, our attendance has shrunk. Have you noticed that no one is in the BC stands today too? They are an ACC team, the top conference in the land, and there is hardly anyone there. This is problem with many, many teams, largely because students don't care about basketball anymore, and other fans can more easily stay at home and watch the game in the comfort of their home (like I am doing about 350 miles away from Fairfield, CT).
I am just amazed by how many fans, even during an entertaining game against a major conference foe, can only sit and lament everything. I guess you're entitled to your agony.
