I know we had Vallinanova in the conference, but Providence gives them a run for their money!!!! “The enrolled student population at Providence College, both undergraduate and graduate, is 77% White, 9.42% Hispanic or Latino, 3.79% Black or African American, 2.48% Two or More Races, 1.43% Asian, 0.235% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders, and 0.0428% American Indian or Alaska Native.“ (From thw Providence website) Not at all racist

Epps is the only threat. We have to live with games like this. It’s impressive we are in this in spite of that. Absolutely not. If he looked for open guys instead of just chucking contested 3's or driving 1 on 3 we might actually be winning this game.

Absolute embarrassment of a performance defensively, again. Offensively, Epps just isn't a PG. There needs to be someone to get him off the ball more but with Rowan not playing well there are no other options. Epps forces way too much while the other 4 guys are standing around watching. Get Cook more involved early in the post.

Great effort today by Cook. I wish everyone else gave the same. Rowan plays terrible and rightfully sits but Massoud plays terrible and he gets 30+ minutes? I love Ed but he must owe Massoud money because I can't begin to understand how he deserves over 10-15 minutes a game. He brings absolutely nothing if he's not making 3's and he hasn't done that at all. Epps and Rowan need to get stronger and someone other than Epps needs to play the 1.

Massoud is an absolute disaster for this team, particularly when he’s playing alongside Cook. Most of the period when we went down 24-8 both of them were in. Same at the beginning of the second half. Then for some inexplicable reason, Cooley puts him in at the end and he immediately coughs it up. He doesn’t make threes, he cannot defend, and he cannot make twos. So why is he starting? He’s killing us. I am going to do a more in depth post about lineups, but right now Massoud needs to mostly sit. That’s a big part of why we lost tonight. While I generally have given Cooley the benefit of the doubt he did two really stupid things tonight: putting in Massoud in the end, and fouling when down by 3. I’m glad we fought back from the 16 point deficit but that isn’t good enough. We need to win some games. agree 1000% He's completely useless if he isn't making 3's and he hasn't done it.

team played 1 on 5 offensively the last 3 minutes of the game. Epps isn't a point guard, You have to have someone on the team running the halfcourt other than him. If he's doing it, everyone is standing around watching him dribble.

why in the F is Massoud on the court? I will never understand why Cooley continues to trust him 3 point shooting but honestly not sure it was worth it. newsflash...it wasn't

Epps plays hero ball. Styles with only 3 shots is ridiculous

the issues tonight were fairly obvious. Defense and rebounding. You can't be that bad at both and expect to beat anyone. One positive. Only 6 TO's (but only 8 assists). Must win Saturday. Hopefully, the boys bring the defensive intensity up a couple hundred notches.

This team won't beat anyone if Epps, Rowan and Heath are 6-28 with 10 TO's. This is a guards game and these guys have to figure it out or Ed needs to get guys that can. They have been pushed around the first 2 BE games.

Heath and Massoud 1-7 0-5 from 3, ZERO rebounds, ZERO assists
these are seniors that get big minutes and have basically played like crap this season
Cook/Styles really the only guys that showed up to play

I liked the way the young guys played. Cook also. They need more out of Heath and Massoud, though I am not confident Massoud is anything other than what he has shown. Personally, I would like to see more of Fielder and Bristol and much less of Massoud. BIG game saturday. Hopefully, Epps is back.

I’ll say it outside the Mintz 3 foul in the first the calls were equal. Copeland got the worst whistle of the game. The refs were bad because they were inconsistent but to think the refs cost us this game is loser mentality. We lost this game because we didn’t hit shots and they did. Rowan getting in foul trouble hurt badly as with him and Wayne on the court we can actually play D. Epps just gets abused on D and we mostly saw what Ish was last year. His blocks this year have all been help. His on ball D and rebounding are not good. If he’s hitting he’s fine. If he’s not it’s going to be bad. I know Rowan was in foul trouble but he didn’t show me anything. Bristol is a stud. Didn't show you anything? he has 4 assists and 4 steals in less than 15 minutes of play. Massoud playing 33 minutes is coaching malpractice.

Ok crybaby. One team is aggressive going to the basket and the other settles for forced jumpers. The more aggressive team is getting more calls. Anyone that ever picked up a basketball can see that. softie Yep, you have an elementary school playground mentality, thank you for keeping proving it. But, seriously, you are saying the types of calls made are the same? I'm asking a serious question. what types of calls? one team is aggressive going to the basket initiating contact and the other is launching 3's. of course the more aggressive team is getting more calls. it's common sense.

Hopefully Epps and Massoud wont shoot this poorly much this season. this is who massoud is. look at his history. he's never shot over 40% he doesn't deserve minutes over bristol
