36-8.
I refuse to believe we are 28 points worse than a middle of the road Patriot League team after 15 minutes of game play.
We are either 1) not playing really hard as everyone here says we are, or 2) Nelson has us totally unprepared.
The “not much talent” excuse only goes so far when you are getting absolutely embarrassed by an average PL team at home.
Has the coaching staff and team packed it in?
What kind of culture is Nelson instilling when we sleepwalk in the final home game of the season and look as if we don’t care to be playing basketball today?

But they are giving max effort When there is nothing good to comment about the coaching or play, it’s easy to make abstract claims like “they play hard.” They’re not playing hard today.

In case you were wondering--in the NOrtheastern game we were down 63-23 at the half

Dave, I’ll trust your take since you’re sitting there at the Hart today, but from watching on by 8x11 iPad screen, it seems to me no one wants to be playing today.

After 20 minutes of play, I’m not sure I’d ever want to go on public record with an honest assessment of how we are and how I’d predict we’ll be as a basketball team. I’d feel too bad as an alumnus. Name any parameter or metric and there’s just nothing there.

The team looks like they want this season to be OVER.

15 Turnovers for HC vs 4 for American: that is absolutely insane

Our best fan(outside of NAD, of course) (there will be obvious comments about the photo) Grateful for Mr. Wade’s dedication and always positive attitude. Better times are coming!

Niego diving for ball, Verbeek wrestling for the ball, Butler playing as hard as he usually does. Do not confuse incompetence with effort

First possession of the second half — turnover by Butler.
Going through the motions.

How many turnovers will we have with these passes in the paint?

There are basic things we don’t do on defense.
1) Help defense and pick and roll defense is very poor.
2) We go under screens rather than fighting through them, leading to uncontested three point attempts.
3) Post defense is lacking. Opponents are able to throw the ball into the post too easy and then we are very reluctant to ever double the post player.
Yeah, the talent is awful, but these are three areas that stick out that you’d hope are correctable by Nelson.
