No difference between the worst Ewing teams and this team.

Cooley sticking with Heath in crunch time, again, is a coaching decision. I'm sorry...that's awful, Ed. Absolutely awful.

He's so, so bad.
Another epic collapse. F.

Massoud loses his man to help for no reason. Has a goofy un-athletic close out. Doesn't hustle back into position so Providence gets an easy offensive board and bucket. Just awful basketball.

Styles really needed to step up today. Very few positive plays from him. Yep. Another player who needs to be recruited over for the team to be competitive, unfortunately.

On the plus side...Wayne is a hell of a defender. Through or over screens, ball denial, active hands, and maybe the only guy on the team other than Cook who isn't afraid of throwing his body around a bit.

Epps trying to do too much right now True. In his defense, the rest of the team a) sucks b)young or c) both.

The Rowan/ Heath role...a slightly below avg Big East player in that spot this season and it's a much better team. Goodness.

Which were a necessity because of what DeGioia did to the program. This is not on Ed Cooley - you are lucky he came here to take the money and fix the situation. It's on DeGioia for giving out extensions for no reason, not having any performance requirements, not setting up any NIL program, not letting Lee Reed manage the situation and Ewing and Ronny for being awful at their jobs. Blame can be spread around, but JDG deserves the lion share. He tries to place himself "above the fray" of athletics but also hands out massive contracts to undeserving individuals. His failure is what we're witnessing, ~1 million in head coaching salaries this season per win.

It's hard to believe but this feels just about exactly like last season with this team. The program is in shambles. To think this is costing the university $10MM in total HC salaries this year! I still am optimistic Cooley will turn this around, but even his biggest supporter would have to concede this is pretty much as bad a first season as one could have imagined. Yep. Excellent work, DeGioia.

This is a shameful performance. Can we say any of the younger players have developed, even marginally? Disheartening.

Wanted: Rowan and Ish. Has anyone seen them the last few games? Extremely disappointing performances from both of them. Neither of them are good.

Epps doesn't value the ball and can't defend a ham sandwich. He has to shoot 65% and go for 30+ to provide + value. It's infuriating.

Bristol, Styles, Massoud. Cook, probably. I think they're "winning" players. Play hard, generally consistent in shot selection, shot making, thought processing, physicality, role execution, focus. Fielder is getting there, too.
The guards need to figure it out. They're the opposite, all of them. Slow decision making, high risk low reward passing/ decision making, poor shot selection, lack of time and place in game flow IQ. They're getting shown up, career highlight type stuff, by low major young guards. They should take it personally.

Ed is already out recruiting Pat...but coaching wise? For 6 million one expects + recruiting and coaching and we sure as hell aren't witnessing that atm- win or lose.

ED. INSTRUCT THE PLAYERS TO START THE OFFENSE BEFORE 12 SECONDS ON THE SHOT CLOCK. IF THEY DON'T DO SO, BENCH THEM.
