Down 36-18 at the half Korey Bauer in the first half shot an airball from 10 feet, received a pass with his foot on the endline, received a pass in the post and fell on his ass for a travel and shot 1-3 from the FT line. Dejuan Goodwin committed two offensive fouls 20 feet from the basket and had 2 travelling violations in the first half with 0 points. That's some great upperclassmen leadership. Program can't get away from the stench of Matt Brady...everytime we hear about Marist's awful upperclassmen or lack of leadership we have that dumb piece of dogshit to thank. Watching this team play like the 150th best program in D-II makes you forget the real reason this has happened. It has nothing to do with the coaching change in 2008 or the fact that one player, Gavin transferred...it has everything to do with the non existent recruitment of 4 year players that was taking place all the way back when Will Whitington and Jared Jordan were Sophomores and Juniors. That's the reason we have a team of green freshman with NO upperclassmen leadership. That;s the main reason we may lose 25 games this year. No with that said Martin needs to get this turned around...losing almost every half of b-ball by 20 points is never excusable regardless of how green the freshman are or how terrible the upperclassmen are. That assessment is just about perfect. I think we are in worse shape than ND football.

Dean Darling: "Johnson has to get over that habit of falling down every time he shoots a jump shot". WTF?
At least he gets the shot off...Korey Bauer could learn a thing or two from him...fall down after you shoot is better than falling on your ass with the ball in the post.

agreed down 20 points in a half is not because of Freshman

Marist can do it on the modern version of a string and two tin cans, Stretch Internet. Woo-Hoo!

I have to believe that the FG% would improve once Drummond returns. Right now it sounds like we can't finish anywhere near the hole. Everything is shortarmed. Maybe if Drummond is around, defenders will have to respect his presence and won't leave to help. If they do, then it opens Drummond up. Or am I being too optimistic?

They are playing without a point guard and a center and 2 other players out of position. No miracles, but I think they will have a chance to improve as a unit. There is no leadership right now.

All the good work they did getting the lead down to 12 swept away because they play defense with their hands and HC doesn't miss foul shots.

Yeah I guess we should have expected to suffer these growing pains this early out of the gate.

You can tell why HC sucks too. Any competent opponent would have made up the deficit.
Marist playing hard, and getting some better results.
Rusin needs to start. 3-3's in the second half.

He was actually was in the starting lineup tonight...and Kaba played better coming off the bench. All in all they played decent in the second half. Kaba, Rusin and actually Price all had good 2nd half's.
