2-8 ensures another losing season, I think.

Because I was curious, looked up which schools offered Woodward. Besides Colgate, Army and AU.
Freshmen big guys typically take longer to develop at our level, but he’s already pretty far along.

They have opportunities to practice 24-7 if you look at 1-1 training no they don't ..they have to have one complete day off in every week...I'd assume that is Monday...

Louth should add Ayir Asante to the people he follows around. Hands need some work.

Hope we can bounce back next week. Need to win almost all games left to make playoffs.

another good game from RJ, martindale also. Humphrey is a good scorer and very talented, just seems he needs to tone down the aggression on defense.

Colgate is a better team, but they also adjusted.
Unfortunately I think we are more committed to a style than winning games
Not a desire to win but decisions that get you over the finish line.
I think we are getting better and that is fine when you have a five year horizon, but when many of us are on the back six of life I think we want to win now!

These four teams fighting for the final two playoff spots. That Lehigh sweep may haunt us.
BU 3-5 Lehigh 3-7 HC 2-8 Loyola 0-6

2019 Colgate: 1st place in PL HC: 10th place (loses 3 best players)
2020 Colgate: 1st place HC: 10th place (loses best player)
2021 Anyone expecting HC to already be on Colgate’s level is dreaming.

I have conflicting memories. One is of Charlie Weis saying after he arrived at ND how much easier college football was opposed to the pros because the NCAA only allowed a certain amount of time coaches could interact with players per day/week. The other is of reading about college athletes who credit individual work with assistant coaches for their improvement. Perhaps the assistant coach sets up the drills and the player does the reps on their own.

I got it but my point is they aren't restricted in any meaningful way when they aren't “prohibited” to do individual workouts with or without coaching

I think HC is getting better each time out. Unfortunately, we play the best teams in the league over and over...However, this will prove to be a blessing next season I hope...RJ is a very good find, he will get better each year ahead...I think Martindale will become a very solid player and scorer..Bo and Bubba look very solid....We have to remember how young this group is, and look to the future with this group..
Colgate is by far the best team in the PL..they do everything well, shoot it, defend, rebound, and handle the ball well...For 2 games in 2 days we stayed with them for the most part.....

We just got a glimpse of our offense without Gates, not pretty. It appears that teams are running Butler off the 3 point line and contesting RJ if he looks at a 3, anyone else can take an uncontested 3 whenever they want. The defense then sags in and surrounds Gates. RJ has to look for his offense more he should be taking double digit shots every game. Hopefully this game gets Martindale going as we need his offense badly. At this point, it doesn't seem that anyone else can be counted on as a consistent scorer. I think Montgomery and Humphrey will eventually develop into decent scorers but not there yet. All in all a good effort this weekend against a very talented experienced team.

You can’t be serious! This team and this coach will be fortunate to win another game. How long will this be tolerated?

I’m not sure what his contract looks like, but he’s Blossom’s guy, so he’s going to get every chance to succeed. Also, I doubt HC is going to buyout his contract. Do we know how many years Nelson has on his deal?

By no means am I saying it should be turned around by now, but also by no means should we have to wait at least FIVE years to see a decent product.

Personally, I am expecting a big step forward next year (in both product and PL finishing position), and to be competing for the PL Championship in two years, when we finally start to have a strong collection of upperclassmen on the roster again. Our two seniors combined to score 24 points on 9-37 (24%) shooting this weekend. You simply can’t expect to beat the best team in the league with that going on, and any rational person would not be holding this against Nelson.
