Game 8: Mount St. Mary's

Hopefully now that we have Cragg opponents like this will never be scheduled again, at the very least schedule a Fordham or Hoftsta, a Niagara or St. Bonaventure on nights like tn. Multiple NEC teams does the players, fans, and viewers a disservice.

Nice to see Greg get competitive minutes, tn was the perfect game to give him more confidence. I was pleased w Justin and Marv tn. Shamorie was almost insultingly passive to his opponent, it almost caught up to him. Princeton's discipline won't allow the same defensive effort tn, they need to come out determined to defend for a full 30 seconds on Sunday.

I 100% agree that if we are going to schedule cupcakes that we should play all the local ones so we can develop rivalries. Why not play Columbia or Manhattan etc. We should play Iona every year, and play old Big East rivals frequently.

They played solid offensively tonight. Would like to see more high low play against a zone not guys just standing around the perimeter. Clark or LJ should flash high and Heron can post down low....it will open the floor up for them. Also, when will everyone stop having this "a win is a win" excuse after we fail to blow out these garbage opponents. They let up 71 points to a now 0-8 Mount St. Mary's team who lost to NC State by 50, hofstra by 18, and Loyola Maryland by 10....embarrassing. Even if they were "working" on things, they should have beat them by 25.  The defense was an absolute joke and they could not keep any of their guards in front of them. Happy to be 8-0 but they seriously better clean this up before conference play.

Unfortunately, the defense is what it is until they add someone to the staff that values that side of the ball. You can play at a high pace and play defense at the same time, that is no excuse. I've tried to be patient with Trimble but believe Williams should garner more of his minutes.

We all watched another terrible basketball game. And you all are content.
The defense is what it is, is one way to look at it. Or the defense sucks and has sucked for the past 3 plus seasons. I don’t know how you guys can truly enjoy this.

Prior to this year, Mt. St. Mary's has been a very solid program for years. Despite having their roster depleted by Big Schools taking their best players via transfer. Prior Coach Jamion Christian took the Siena job this year, he had done a great job at the school. So have no problem scheduling this program, I live down the road from Emmitsburg, MD.
