It's time for SPC to downsize to a D2 or D3 classification. No attempt is being made to improve most of the athletic teams. Men's basketball is a shambles and nobody wants to improve the situation. Money spent for the current teams can be re-directed to more worthwhile endeavors.

We have been reduced to "bragging" about team "playing hard" or "they came back to within 4 points after beibg down by 15".. Listen, making a run and losing means nothing unless you learn something and get better. This team is in a shambles and unless a REAL effort is made to improve,why do we insist in this embarrasment? I mean this is not a recent development.

Team played hard, but is just not talented enough....we all know the drill by now.
On the plus side was a very active night by Bacon (Ryan is playing more consistently). Also, Wesley did some damage even though the Marist "D" knew where he was every time he crossed halfcourt.
On the other side of the coin, Hall, like Jasper Walker as a frosh, is absolutely no threat offensively and teams can play off him. Yet TBD is if Hall can ever overcome what I perceive to be his lack of quickness. We'll know whether or not he can be an above average MAAC point guard, later on in his career, by next season. Only a team with three other proven scorers can afford a point guard who is no threat to score....but, it's too early to judge.
Devezin (first game back in a few weeks??) could not be stopped....our guards can score, but are only adequate, at best, defensively.
I am passing on the trip to Albany Sunday....I am not a masochist! :>)

A poster on the MAAC board posted the following. What were your observations about what he was speaking about?

"4)Marist coaching staff works well together, good communication, calm demeanor with refs (St. Peters coach is a a high school coach with his antics and barking orders the whole game and telling his staff and players to shut up, sit down, get out the way, etc. JAJK, he is the reason St. Peters is struggling from what I saw. If I was a player, I would tune him out and he was dismissive to his staff and players on at least 3 occassions I observed. Bacon just needs more time, he is gonna be a good MAAC player. #31 was visibly limping from end of first half to end of game."

this poster is generally not a vicious poster and resonably fair in his comments.

Dunne was into it.

I didn't assess the situation the same way as the Marist poster. JD's behavior was far short of being out of control.
