Sada NgaNga had 29 points and 12 rebounds yesterday. Imagine if we had Sada's firepower on this year's squad. What a shame we let a budding superstar slip through our fingers.

We need to balance out our recruiting with some high school kids and some transfers. Sha's system is difficult to learn. It takes time. Bring in a couple high school kids that can develop, learn the system and be productive as sophs, jrs and srs. Mix in a couple transfers that can fit in and make the team better. Having only transfers is not the answer.

We hear how NLI money should start rolling in after the practice facility is up and running as the doners now can focus on NLI and not the facility.

With the climate of college basketball at such a ridiculous stage of free agency, the selection committee has to change its criteria for the tournament. It has to weigh games later in the season heavier as opposed to these early November games.

Teams are completely different now vs. where they will be in March.

I think it would depend who that third loss is to - Oklahoma State doesn't seem like they are any good, so I don't know what we are getting if we win that game (and it is must win now IMO) and a loss might hurt too. I suppose if it was someone that projects to be solid like VCU in Charleston it wouldn't be an issue if we win at Rutgers, but then we need to do real serious damage in the Big East.

Last year we didn't have any horrific OOC losses. We didn't have any good OOC wins, either, but we had no losses like these past 2. And look what it took for us to do in conference play to even get where we ultimately landed on the bubble.

Getting ahead of myself though, because with this group it will literally be one game at a time IMO.

We need to beat VCU on Thursday. That at least gets us a Q2 win as idk if they're good enough to be Top-50 (Q1). Start from there on this long road back.

I'm wondering how the basketball metric will work (KenPom stuff) because we lost 2 awful games by only 1 point, but at least played excellent defense statistically. In the 4 losses last year to power teams by double-digits we did nothing well. But the resume/NET metric that weights results/opponent more will be a mess. Fordham will end up Q4 loss, Hofstra Q3 loss. Hofstra was #112 in the NET last year, I guess it's possible that could slide to Q2 if they do well in-conference.

Quadrant 1: Home games vs. RPI teams ranked in the top 30; neutral games vs. 1-50; away games vs. 1-75.
Quadrant 2: Home vs. 31-75 teams; neutral vs. 51-100; away vs. 76-135.
Quadrant 3: Home vs. 76-160 teams; neutral vs. 101-200; away vs. 136-240.
Quadrant 4: Home vs. 161-plus teams; neutral vs. 201-plus; away vs. 241-plus.

Well, we have long history of working guards into PGs going back to when Holloway was here with Willard so here we are again. Sigh. Here's hoping he can work some magic with Addae-Wusu and Jenkins.

The good news is our metrics should be… wait, forget it

I hope I’m wrong but this matchup looks bad for us. They’re very good. 9th in defensive efficiency and 11th in defensive turnover rate. Granted they’ve only played a SOS of #316, but they’ve won every game by 20+ and defense is defense. Our SOS isn’t much better at #273 and we’re 10th in DE.

They also move the ball well and take a lot of 3’s. Have much better continuity.

⬆️ All things that usually kill us. But a neutral win over them would be a good one and begin the climb back for The Hall.

3 of their kids just put up over 20 in their last win. 2 strong, explosive older guards. They have a big 6 foot 10 inch who was a freshman in 2018.

It would be a strong effort by shu upcoming if they make the champ or 3rd place game. I feel 5th place game is the reality.

#! Sha is likely to stay very long with DAW.
#2 Felton is more of a 2 than a 1 as I recall.

Dual has a shoulder issue, per previous comments. Harmon is another story; no reason has been given for his lack of playing time.

Only guessing but maybe Harmon is falling behind in his classes. We forget they actually take classes.

It’s embarrassing that Coleman isn’t putting up AT LEAST 15 against these scrub teams.

You can't score if you don't shoot and we play at a glacial pace. We're averaging under 54 ppg.

Coleman is averaging seven shots per game and only Jenkins, Aligbe and Addae-Wusu have taken more shots total. So it's not like he's not shooting the ball. You're basically asking him to make every shot he takes to get to 15 ppg. Unrealistic, no?

As a team we've averaged 48.7 shots per game in the three games he's played. Overall it's 47.5 in four games.

I don think either Dual or Harmon suited up today

Since they don't have "General Soreness" maybe they have the lower ranked "Major Soreness"??
