Got home late and missed the first half. What's going on with Delgado? I don't know if I've seen him on the court.

Great senior leadership by Gordon not boxing out on the miss. Huge mental error there.

that was a total pathetic effort, prep and execution; whitehead can't dominate the ball on offense, he should not be the primary ball handler or pg, he needs to play off the ball; guys like gordon can't go to the line for 2 ft and not make one later in the second half; no perimeter defense, no ball screen defense, boxing out is weak; very possible shu may not win this weekend, play bradley fri then worst team from top half sunday; i think this board would be in total crisis mode if shu loses at rutgers; with what i see, will be a long season ahead
Nice comeback but no one boxed out the shooter on the foul line. Would have been down one with a chance to hit a 2 or 3 to win.
Neither defense nor offense very strong - Long Beach State executed on offense all game long. Can only hope the team gets stronger with more game experience.

Team played soft. Gordon with some really big miscues at key junctions late. Obviously not boxing out the FT shooter, but also missing 2 huge FT's.
Box out or not, Gordon still had that ball. Just let the other guy take it from him. Thought we might steal that one.
Just remember that Long Beach is a middle of the pack Big West team. Just chew on that for a bit.
When we had trouble putting away Wagner, I knew we were in for a bad season.
The box out is important. We don't do the little things that win games. We don't move the ball, we don't move without the ball, and we don't box out. I'm not giving up on this team, we've seen teams in our past have great starts then blow it and teams start off slow then get rolling, but we need to commit to better team defense and better fundamentals.
I missed a lot of the 1st half. By the time I had walked into my house they said LB went on a 10-0 Run??
The last play of the 1st half was just huge because it carried over into the first part of the 2nd half. If our
offense lacked structure in the past then we may have gone backwards. Dribble,Dribble,Dribble and
make a move. I was concerned with Delgado tonight. Not sure what was happening. I watched, but
my attention went to the Women who were giving a nice effort against Princeton at Walsh.
Some credit for not giving up but that was hardly a furious defensive effort. This season can go in many
directions, but that is RedFlag#1

It's a losing basketball mentality with the men's program. I really don't have any idea who can change the culture here but I do know it ain't Kevin Willard.
We only played 7 guys according to the box score. I'm going to give Willard some credit here and say that was part of the plan. And you can't have the starting 5 playing 10 straight minutes and wanting a breather at the same time. You have to manage the game for 40 minutes not just for a hot start.
I might be reaching here, but it's probably because he's terrible at basketball.
Nzei, gordon, carter and Anthony all played off the bench. I could watch very little and couldn't listen to some. Angel got benched? Why?
So he came here and gets a DNP in his 3rd career game as a Pirate. That about sums it up.
