This season is not a whole lot more fun than last season.

Wow. That look in the UConn huddle was so embarrassing for us.

Hurley with a brutally honest assessment of our defense in that huddle.

After seeing some posters willing to excuse Ewing’s ineptness, I am not surprised. Ewing was as inept as they come, and yet somehow this year’s team is even worse at defense. Hurley has no respect for our defense. Rock bottom, where art thou?

Hurley, “Versus a defense of this caliber, it should all look easy”
Yikes

I haven’t see every In The Huddle but that’s the most disrespectful one I’ve heard a coach say about a conference for. Sadly Hurley wasn’t wrong.

It’s just so embarrassing, it really is. Hurley is 100 percent correct.

We say the same thing about our defense. Nothing new there.

If only Cooley had played Brumbaugh and Fielder more in OOC games we may have a much better team right now. And cmon, I don’t care how bad Ryan is you knew you’d be facing quality 7 footers in BE this year. Had to figure out a more useful role for him Cooley will be forced to use him because Fielder will foul out. Very Ewing-esque

Looking at boxscore and rebounds are 29 to 28, but it seems like Hoyas are getting out rebounded.

Why is this coaching staff being excused for the defensive effort (or lack thereof) this team puts forth? Who is excusing them? It's awful. They've said it's awful. We've said it's awful. Grandmas at the local nursing home have said it's awful. DePaul even says we're awful on defense. Year 1 for this staff was a failure. I don't think anyone is disputing that. It's not changing this season. There's reason to believe they're about to invest heavily in the roster in the next 60ish days. You know via historical performance that this staff has rebuilt teams. They have a lot to prove this offseason.

Btw, how old is our coaching staff? Do we have young assistants?

Dang, drop pass from Epps. That is a rarity and it worked.

Heaths' face says it all, he's checked out. No effort defensively.

Many complain about Epps hunting his shot, but today he has passed up too many IMO.

Btw, how old is our coaching staff? Do we have young assistants? Your main assistants are Blaney, Thomas & Battle. Thomas is the only one who would he considered “young” and he should start at a low major. His big draw is his DMV connections. You also have LaDontae Henton & Kyron Cartwright on staff, but I don’t think they’re even assistant coaches yet.
