This team is not good at the moment. And three games in, I see no signs that things are likely to improve.

Does anyone know where Penn St is predicted to finish in the Big 10? Not that preseason predictions should mean much but 10th. Seems about right based on this game.

Let's see:
1. show up to the game late - CHECK
2. throw the ball away as much as possible - CHECK
3. guard open 3 point shooters from inside the lane - CHECK
4. play like you are allergic to running anything resembling an offense - CHECK
5. as mentioned a few pages ago, pretend the shot clock is 8 seconds instead of 30 - CHECK
At this rate this is going to be a long season.
"A game like this is going to be good for both teams, right Donny?"
My goodness.
P.S. - McClung, Mosely and Pickett have 10 points between them with a minute left. Can't get that kind of offensive production out of 60% of your starting lineup and expect to win over even mediocre teams.

Time for Coach Ewing to take the heat off the players and put it where it belongs. This team was not prepared and clearly not for the first time....

You don’t really want that. He’s a great hustle guy but shooting is not his forte yet. How do you know! Did you see that?

Can't keep allowing teams to get double digit leads out the gate....especially at home....

We lose Greg and Jessie and replaced them with a defensive point guard, two post up 7 footers, and slashing songs who have little desire to shoot. Couple this with a regression from Blair and Mac, and you have a recipe for some ugly offense.
Oh and defense isn’t good either.
Maybe the Patrick friendly media will finally have to throw a little cold water on this team if this continues.

NBA offense with college level kids... too much 1 vs 1...
No more excuses, Pat. It’s on you if the team continues to come out flat game after game.

This team looks vastly worse than the sum of how I remember its returning parts looking last season.

These are all things I questioned last year when everyone was telling me how much better we were going to be this year. You have to be able to shoot and defend.

I listened to the first half in the car and then got to watch some of the worst passing I've seen in a long time. Poor shooting from outside? That happens, but bad passing, this badly? That is a mess.
Yurtseven, Wahab, and Leblanc seemed to be the only ones who weren't having problems on defense.
Whew. Good thing there is a next game.
