HC plays with effort but without confidence. The rebound poorly, pass poorly, and shoot poorly. Don't they practice these things?

Commentators have been talking about “staying within reach” since the opening minutes. Navy is up by 19. They have doubled our score.

First, my ESPN subscription had to be renewed costing me $70. Then this horror show. Think I’ll turn this off at the half and read a book.

In a 2-3 zone much of the game. Offense is anemic. Lewis seemed to do well on defense on the wing.

Holy Cross is 18-14 all time in PL openers. No need to update this after the game. This includes today.

Down 42-20 at the half but giving credit for trying different things. Lewis got some burn; played a zone; RJJ playing - 2 assists, 2 TOs. 1 for 6 shooting.

This team never improves. Navy looks beatable to me but not if you play like HC does. I'm done with this game. I think I'll take down the Xmas tree.

HC plays with effort but without confidence. The rebound poorly, pass poorly, and shoot poorly. Don't they practice these things? Well, we look awful on the offensive end. Ditto for defending against Navy treys. We get a hand on lots of possible rebounds on defense, but have trouble turning possibilities into actualities. Nelson takes a lot of grief on this board, most of it presumably well deserved (I don't watch enough HC games to have an opinion), but you've got to wonder whether a big part of the problem is that our players just ain't that good.

Keeping Luc with two fouls on the bench not a winning strategy Same could be said of Gates. He played 7 min.
Sometimes I wonder if Nelson has any basketball sense whatsoever.
Very tough to watch.

If you remember the old coach complement "he can beat hisn with yoursn and yoursn with hisn"....all the players at this point are hisn (Nelson's). So it's his fault either way.

Our players are his players. All Carmody scholarship recruits have been purged one way or another. That contributes to the criticism because HC is out of character as a college with all the departures but has no winning to show for it so far.
