Subject: Lineup not working

If central is going to lose anyway, then why not play some of your big men. This three guard lineup is not working. Blackwood and Anderson have cemented their place as starters. Chiera and Mojica are nice outside shooters but should not receive a ton of minutes. Pitmann and Nwadike are both starters, but the one frontcourt starting position should be rotated between brooks, sobers, middleton, and Ingo to see who emerges as the starter. The three point shot is not as open as it was last year because Robinson is gone and noone this year is drawing attention around the basket, this will not change. The three point shot is not going to be open consistently all year. PLAY THE BIG MEN, at least you might get some shot blocking and rebounding out of it.

The three-point shot has been open, they have just been missing. That's a fact. To say it is not open is wrong. To suggest that Brooks or Middleton should start shows that you have not seen them play. Neither is starting material.

The Courant article indicates that certain players "aren't ready yet" and that is fine w/ me. I trust the coaching staff knows who's ready and who's not. But after watching the FIU game in person I think that Central needs to sub in some more height for defensive reasons. I'm not even asking them to shoot the ball - just play in the low post and don't let the kid from FIU get 10 lay-ups. As bad as CCSU's shooting is at times, I was most disapointed in its defense. That is a CCSU trademark and FIU had it too easy.

It is still very early in the season and the team is fairly young so I'm not overly concerned, but I don't think anyone really expected to lose 2 at home already. The OOC schedule was set with some winnable games (home vs. Colgate, Samford, FIU, and Loyola) and some really tough ones (@Niagara, @UConn, @LaSalle, @Santa Clara). They've missed 2 of the good chances early and its only going to get harder to get those back.

BTW - I think the whole NEC has been disapointing so far. Other than SFNY win over a struggling St. John's, no NEC team has had an upset win. FDU and RMU have had very tough schedules, but the only near upsets have been FDU vs. Pepperdine and Buffalo and SHU @ Penn St. Too many teams (Do you hear me, QU) are padding their schedule with DII or III teams!

you don't think a home-and-home with Longwood helps the NEC :)

I agree Sobers and Ingo should see more minutes than garbage time at the end of the first half. At the very least, Ingo should see time in games that are OOC to get him up and running faster.
