He doesn’t do much else besides shoot and did that poorly. He wasn’t active defensively or on the boards. He’s a developmental piece so I get it. He just doesn’t give me the warm feels.

Ivy transfers historically struggle. The top players in that league didn’t fare too great when trying to make the jump to power conferences. But those transfers weren’t as productive as Mack as a freshman. There’s going to be growing pains, he’s not going to have the instant impact other portal guards will have in my opinion but he can be an all conference player as an upperclassmen. Big fan of the kid, not a fan of pairing him with Epps at all.

He misses all the time. He flip flops all the time, he usually gets it right in the end after changing multiple times.
Any commitment isn’t a good commitment. We need a major influx of talent.

Gillespie is a stud, but if it helps us get Mack then great. I prefer Mack over Dug, and get Keyshawn Hall please!

Mintz is a high volume, empty numbers guy. He’s not what we need.

A Dug and Epps backcourt would be unplayable. We were historically bad defensively this year, so the answer is to get worse? Dug is not the defensive liability you're making him out to be. Houston is interested if that tells you anything. Ermann also posted a VIP paywalled article on Dug. The numbers say he’s bad and we know Epps is bad. Houston makes sense because they can surround him with defenders.

Please stay away from Mintz. He’s an empty numbers guy and not what we need. Go after Mack or Perkins.

Did I read that correctly? Not accurate to say we suck? Well does anyone suck then, everyone must be good!

Hilltop Hoya has no credibility on anything. Just really bad on twitter like 95% of the accounts.

Cooley has not breathed any life into this program. It feels so dead.

So Rowan isn’t Steve Nash? Well that’s gonna set us back now. Love Kenner reports.

Yikes. That was not a good game for the Big East.

Ryan is not a high major player. Don’t know why we continue to to see fans clamoring for him to play. He’s just a tall guy, nothing else.
This team is ranked lower on Kenpom than the team that went winless in the conference.
Styles should be getting 15+ shots a game on this team.
Are fans still trying to compare Rowan to Steve Nash? He’s afraid to dribble against pressure. He’s always going to need other ballhandlers alongside him on the court.

Not often you see 2 high major teams outside the Kenpom 150. This game looks like it too.

You cannot grab a contested rebound in traffic, advance the ball up the court and get a shot off inside the 3 point line. There is no way that is happening under any circumstance. Yes the guy made a ridiculous shot and was out of bounds. But if you intentionally miss, the ball doesn’t even get across halfcourt. That’s just an error in coaching.

Have to miss that second free throw on purpose Yep, that’s just bad coaching. A 1 or 2 point lead is inconsequential. You miss every time on purpose.

This board is tough. A win is a win. At one time we were down by 6 or 8 with little time left and still pulled it out. No explanation on why Ryan does not get any PT (??) A win is not a win. Not when it’s against basically a D2 program. Not that we had NCAAT hopes anyways, but games like this decrease your chances of making it. We dropped significantly in KenPom, Torvik, etc.

Rowan can’t guard low major guards. What will he do in the Big East? Normally does, but if not paying attention he's been out sick and still not back to normal. He’s been poor defensively on a consistent basis. Teams try to isolate and attack him. And he’s not good against pressure.
