I don't buy the 3 games in 3 days stuff. Tired guys might be causing guys to miss 3's, but then you tell them to stop taking as many.
1. Lovett has played 6 games as a PG at the collegiate level. Give him a chance to learn how to play the role of scorer and facilitator.
2. We picked a bad time to play our worst game of the year. We play 3/4 of how we did against Mich St. or VCU and we beat ODU.
3. I expected us to be 3-3 at this point. So, 2-4 is a disappointment. We have talent - I think it will come together and it is up to both the staff to figure out how to maximize that.
4. Can we please give this staff and these players some time to grow up? With some of these comments, it is like you guys have never watched how long it has taken other programs to rebuild. If you didn't think there was going to be a learning curve with the staff and all these new guys trying to find ways to mesh, you had unrealistic expectations.
This isn't the MAAC, where you can recruit talent level so much better than the opposition that you can go from a barren roster to an immediate league contender.
To compare one local program, since people have been giving Kevin Willard props lately, let's remember that it took Seton Hall 6 years in the Willard regime to make the NCAA tournament. Let's also remember that Willard inherited a roster with Hazell, Pope, Robinson and Theodore as upperclassmen. It won't take us that long, but a bit perspective here.
