Yeah he’s not a great scorer. I still think he’s a fine basketball player. He’s not great. He is limited. But he’s fine.

Very disappointing result. Seton Hall beat the shit out of us and it was not any kind of fluky hot shooting performance. They just beat us up and down the court, on both ends of the court. They couldn’t crack 70 points against New Haven and Wagner. Those teams are as bad as Central. And they just scored 85 on us. Shitty all around performance by the Pack.

We are going to get our ass kicked regularly this year. We suck at defense something fierce. We have 3 consistent offense threats. We have a couple extremely streaky guys. We have a guy who has averaged over 11 mpg so far and is scoring 1.5 ppg. Arceneaux has barely played but he is also completely useless offensively.

Able had been better than I expected, but the issues I was worried about in the frontcourt are just as bad as I feared and Breed is also just as useless as I expected. Arceneaux is also not the huge get that everyone was hyped up about. Not sure this team ends up being better than a bubble team, it's got serious flaws in the way it was built

^^mostly agree. Arceneaux, Breed, Musa, Q, Deng bring basically nothing to the table in terms of scoring.

Deng is a tall guy that likes to shoot and doesn’t do a lot of rebounding. Unless he’s gonna be a sharp shooter he really doesnt need to be playing at all. 37% 3PT shooter last year but 30% (6/20) so far this year. Arceneaux I guess is still nursing an injury, but he’s never been an offensive guy in his career. Even if he gets to 100%, he has a low ceiling.

VAL had a good offensive game today, but good god he is shit at defense near the basket. Also he is a poor rebounder. None of this should really be a surprise since he's the size of a small forward. I think we should have a moratorium on transfers from UNC.

Teams with any players with remotely any talent in the post will have their way with us.

Yeah VAL is gonna need to score 15 ppg just to offset his defensive limitations. Or Musa is gonna need to come along asap

Might get away with it if we can get in transition but in a half court game, we just can’t match up with bigger teams.

The weird thing is that Seton Hall doesn't even seem to be that much bigger than us. Half the blocks they got were by guards. Their top 3 rebounders were guards. Our guards are as big or bigger than theirs. They do have a true center sized guy in Najai Hines, but he didn't completely ruin our day or anything.

I think we just got out hustled most of the game and played right into them being good at collapsing into the paint on the drive for blocks/turnovers.

Game Day lets eat that W.

i don't know if SH just had that much more bounce or We had little to no bounce. We looked slower and a step behind the whole game. and lots of missed chances and missed close in baskets.

We seem to get less break on foul calls no matter who is coaching, but no Tech last game.

Maybe that is what we need, we are undefeated when getting a tech, and we are winless when not getting a tech. #analysis

Boise State lost to a D2 opponent but those don’t count towards NET which is very dumb. Wins don’t count for your resume, so I get it. But I just think a loss to a D2 team should be disqualifying come NCAAT selection time.

Holloman dribbled for 18 seconds in what was one of the worst possessions we’ve had all season. Brought the ball up court, was well defended and just kept trying to get around his man instead of just passing the ball. It was a dog shit possession.

Breed increased his season scoring total by 50% with one shot.

Now we just need Williams to do the same.

Ugly form. He’s hit a few but definitely no need to jack one up that early in the shot clock

I'm not watching, but I remember an earlier game where I think VAL took two threes. He made one, but he had a really weird motion, almost like a pump-fake (but he was wide open)

Able needs to play more. Probably Arceneaux too. Copeland needs to play less. Holloman, Able, Arceneaux, Williams and Lubin should be getting the bulk of the minutes.

^^ yes it was both.

^ yeah. Able is so much better than McNeil. I think we’re better when Arceneaux is on the court too.
