Kids just need to fight.  Show something.

That is probably the most disappointing part of the last two games besides the losses.  They fought very hard on the road against FAAARRR superior competition shorthanded and then just laid an egg twice at home against inferior competition.

Truth be told. I’m not convinced Ponds is 100 percent. Bash had the flu. Just not enough caliber players to even beat Georgetown. The Depaul game was the ultimate let down.

Johnnies show some fight but not enough against the juggernaut.

Nova 92

Played pretty solid D for a good chunk of that half and still down 7.

The staff needs to quit with the 2 foul autobench in the first half. Just can't compete with teams like this with Trimble and Amar playing big minutes because of foul trouble to Simon and Clark. Either teach the guys how to play defense without fouling or let them play with 2 fouls. By the time they come back in it's too late

Ponds should have been shooting one and one down four. Instead they basically give the game to nova as the free throws put them up six. If they simply failed to call that foul on bridges it would have been horrific— the fact that they called that a foul on ponds is disturbing. I don’t know if I’ve seen a more obvious over the back. He literally jumped on ponds’s back and knocked him to the ground. Insane

Sad that Ponds had to be more than 50% of the offense and even then 0-6 from 3.  At end of game, didn't even look to see if teammates were open as he knew they were invisible all night.

I hope we don't blame the refs, especially the Ponds foul at end for not winning...  That was part of it, but that was not deciding factor.  Nova just plays team ball, even when not at their best.  Our team cannot fully grasp that, especially on offense.

I will say this though,  the possession prior to that they got gift.  Ponds was double teamed fell to the floor and then was tied up with possession to SJU.  Should have been a walk.

Ahmed really kills this team defensively. When he closes out on a shooter he runs over late like he forgot to add the fabric softener. This was supposed to be his big breakout senior season. He’s just not prepared for it. Minimal improvement if any.

Tons of local prospects come to and watch our games. We get almost none of them.

Hard to get better when you play for an incompetent coach/coaching staff.

I forget of the poster was on here or redmen who brought it  up and gave insider reasons but I do now think the ref's have an Anti Mullin agenda. Might be subtle at times but I believe it

Simon brings way more to the table than Trimble. Trimble is horrible defensively got blown by a ton last night, and on offense all he literally does is stand at the same spot on the perimeter and doesn't move..... When he gets the ball he either chucks up a 3, or passes it right away. I don't think I've seen him dribble the basketball all year.

Not all his fault though. When your coach doesn't run any semblance of an offense it's tough. You would think they'd run screens for Ponds or Trimble to get an open shot, but nah.... We're content to go 1 on 1 all game, and have Bashir Ahmed blindly drive to the middle and throw the ball off the backboard as hard as he can.

Sounds like you are talking about Clark also. The season lost, I would like to see what we have in Trimble before he is either jettisoned or decides to leave on his own.  Also would like to see Simon get used to the 6th man role. But I agree on all your points

Trimble stands around and every once in awhile hoists up a three. Simon is 2bd best plyer on team and once we get better scorers will be even better. Simon is not the problem. Trying to do to much because we do not have any scorers.

Simon is really good. Only a sophomore reminds me of postell. On this team he only comes off the court if he is exhausted. Trimble shouldn’t be playing 20 plus minutes unless their is injury or foul trouble.
The offense is often a high screen for ponds, then pass out for a 3. Teams are going to give up that shot to our lesser players all day. They are happy with. It looks like our staff is also.
Trimble- watched the game late last night after the football. Was falling asleep. Don’t remember him getting beat on defense. I can remember in the past him being a decent athlete who isnt a liability on defense. I hope he stays. I think he is just playing to much now.

I was at the game. His man was getting by him A LOT leading to someone helping which lead to Nova passing it around the perimeter for an eventual open 3.

I actually saw Trimble go to the hole as i have hoping he would do more of. He needs to have that threat to keep defenses off him a little

Ponds was incredible.  It's Big East efforts like this that get players moving on to greener pastures. See Harkless, Mo*.

Refereeing basketball is very, very difficult.  Just saying.

For those putting down Trimble I have just two words.  Rich Freudenberg.

He definitely needs to get better at moving without the ball. He tends to just hover around the 3 pt line. The good deep shooting is his best asset right now. He needs to keep it up and develop other parts of his game.

Carmine your a ref right? It’s Very difficult and I certainly don’t envy them. But a play right in front of you in the last minute of the game in which you don’t just miss a call you make the obviously wrong one which takes away the chance of the other team, you have to be called out. It has seemingly gotten worse, I find myself laughing at some calls that go in our favor as well.

Yes,  that call was rough and if made correctly would have given us a chance to cut it to 2.  They don't have instant replay and everything looks differently from different angles.

Out of all the sports in the world only one can be the toughest to officiate.  And it's basketball.

Postell was my favorite SF of all-time. Please don't ever make that comparison again until Simon starts to hit the offensive glass. Postell was an offensive rebounding machine. He crashed the glass every shot and averaged more offensive boards than Simon and Clark combined.

Simon has that potential. New Mexico St. has a 6'5 200 lb SF averaging 3.8 offensive boards in 28 mpg. Don't tell me Simon can't do that.
