With all due respect, a few years ago when we were losing it was because we didn't have guards. Now we don't have size but wedo have excuses.Maybe we need fewer excuses and more coaching.

we were outsized, outplayed and outclassed. The student section was filled but not nearly to capacity - a good start though.
I think we got one or two Offensive Rebounds. We were consistently out of position and our shooting was horrendous. Give credit to SJU though, they played some very stingy defense and exploited their height advantage very well; an advantage that they seemed to hold at every position.
Understanding that St Joes is far superior, we are in for a very long year with the lack of any inside presence. We are going to get crushed by any team with two players over 6'8".
The only bright spot, if you can identify one, is Jonathan Han. This kid is the real deal; sees the floor very well, pushes the ball, makes pinpoint passes and hits the jumper. Aside from him tonight, it was very disappointing.

This game was disgraceful. Your home opener and there wasn't one moment - I repeat, not one moment, when you could have cheered for this team (other than the introductions).
Many people commented that they will not return to watch this kind of a product.It really was very hard to sit through. This is a team with Div III size and Div II talent trying to play Div I basketball.

Time to do a little soul searching folks.
I doubt it would have made much of difference even with Max in the lineup. Plus we had less than 3,000 fans attending to see one of highest profile opponents ever at AHY. The St. Francis loss was disappointing, but, I don't believe it was disappointing enough to influence 2,000 to 3,000 fans not to attend the game.
Very disappointing evening on many levels!

Couldn't agree more with you Stagophile......
Very disappointing turnout given the fact that a high profile opponent was there. To take it a step further, I sat in Section 115 tonight....row L.. and I was surrounded and I mean surrounded by St. Joe's fans/alum. I looked around and all I saw was St. Joe's sweatshirts and hats...I now know what Custer felt like....lol
The team played probably the worst game I have seen since they have played at AHY. They were never in the game, were outsized at every position, could shoot (did they miss an open jumper ?) and played good D (did we get an open jumper in the first half ?). Maxwell would have battled as he always does, but I don't think his presence would have made a bit of differnece.
I also agree with Frank F. Playing this kind of basketball will not get anyone but the diehards to return to the arena. I already have tickets for Providence, I have a real bad feeling about that game also....
Only bright spot was Han.... I think he is a player, and will excel for the Stags for 4 years. Now all he needs is some help !
Lastly, in checking today's NY Post the line on this game was 2 1/2...... what were those odds makers smoking ? Maybe the peace pipe !

I've had enough already. Last game you'll see me at. Both my kids just about fell asleep. No way I'll ever again part with a C note to see this kind of performance. Heck, even before the abortion, you could just sense we didn't belong on the same court. Seemed like more St. Joe fans. Of course, they at least had something to cheer about.
