There are so many points to discuss here, but I will stick to the playing time issues between Carter, Reedal, and Middleton. As much as I think we all like Carter as a person and a representative of the school, its clear that his game has certain limitations and he is taking too many minutes from the other two. When we play a huge team like St. Joes, its a good time to put GM at center, move Marty to the 4, (where he is more comfortable), and then we immediately become a lot larger. As far as JR, he has been weak on defense, but has potential,and should get more time. This way we will be better prepared for the MAAC.

I don't think we can throw Middleton into the mix if he's not ready. It could, if possible, make things worse.

I am ready to jump off the bridge like everyone else, but until Max and MD are on the floor together, we cannot make a fair judgment on this team. We know that Maxwell can play well vs. MAAC frontlines and perhaps MD can as well.

Yes, out of conference is going to be a disaster, but the league may not be.

Who cares about the league? Have you been following the league thus far this year? We are now one of the worst leagues in the nation.
Do you really care what happens in the Loyola game? I don't.
Yea, St Joes's, Providence, Iowa, Fordham -these are the games that matter. We will lose them all, probably embarrassingly so. We will probably lost most of our MAAC games too.

Except for Fordham, even a very good Fairfield would generally get spanked by those major conference teams.

If your satisfication with the program is going to be based solely on the Stags winning those "up" games, you are going to be one unhappy fan, even in the best of times.

You are correct, however all I am looking for is for us to be competitive in some of these games. That would satisfy me, but even that has rarely been true.

Good MAAC teams in the past have often been competitive in these games. Granted, rarely winning. When we have teams like St Joe's, Providence, and Fordham coming into our home to play, a decent mid major team should give them a tussle.
