Took a long drive to attend the St. Joe's game in Fairfax and was not disappointed. Was very excited to be coming down in another month to watch St. Louis. After this stretch of games and then this half after a week off - I don't know man. I think I'd rather stay home and help my elderly parents with technology.

How did they manage a good defensive effort the first game against the Hawks? Must have had more to do with St. Joe's play than Mason's. Though they did record an absurd 20 offensive rebounds.

The collapse has been there all conference seaason. They were lucky a Loyola and St. Bonaventure.

Just now they are losing the games that correspond with their level of play.

I don’t care what kind of offensive output this team gets, giving up 8 3s in one half is going to lose you most games.
Yes, I understand. We did beat Winthrop after allowing 8 3s in the first half and Cornell after allowing 7. Loyola MD had 7 in the second half.

Again, this is not a defensive team. The defense has been a problem all year. But we were able to move the ball and score and stay in the game long enough to put the pressure on the other teams down the stretch. The defense is bad, but the regression offensively is inexplicable.

Tony has failed to turn this group into a team that matches his identity. In trying, he’s failed to capitalize on the group’s strengths. This is not a team that should be routinely scoring in the 60s.

They will have to drag me out of the Gold Room during the St. Louis game.

That could really be a record setting beat down. We've let the lower-middle of the conference beat us by 20+ over the last several games. Take away the win against St Joes in FFX when they apparently just got tired, and we've been rolled by everyone, not beaten, rolled. The final scores haven't always been 20 point losses, but the games have been 20 point games up until the last few minutes. And even with a couple recent losses, St. Louis is really good. I wouldn't drive far for that game.
