For the record ,,any loss in the next 6 games is a bad loss , they are all winnable games and should be won . I'm even giving them the Siena game ..if they play with the heart that they should, and if they don't play with that kind of heart at home for that game they shouldn't be playing for Marist .To win the Iona game would have been a big upset in the eyes of Vegas and others ..I was just facing a little reality there .

Sucks to suck. Not worth trying to quantify it. Same guy that if Marist goes on a little tear at the end of the season he's going to be jumping up and down and rolling around (more likely rolling around as 94's jumping skills have diminished considerably )saying they're the best thing since sliced bread .

Heart and effort aren't the problems. Lack of depth (PG/another consistent scorer), inconsistensy from game to game, and a lack of experience (too many freshman in key roles) are the problems. I think an optimist would say 3-3 down the stretch. I hope you are right, but IMO they have to learn to play .500 ball before they can be expected to run the table. Who needs to run the table is Dunne and Co. on the recruiting trail for 2020 and 2021.

They've had chances to win every game in the last 8. That's a far cry from where we've been. The only game they didn't play well at all was the Siena game. And they had that game down to 2 with 10 to play. I think if these guys make the normal progression and Enoh and Byrd make the expected impacts, wouldn't we be where we wanted to be in yr 3 of the regime? I feel like they can win every league game they play now. Granted, they've blown games. But to blow games, you have to be good enough to get leads. I trust Dunne. They'll turn the corner. It's unfortunate that they are 2 players short. If we had 2 contributors, we'd be in business this yr. At least he can add useful parts. A good sign would be a great win against Monmouth. They responded against St Pete's. Let's do it again. What we really need is Sagl, St Furcy, and Jack to be good on the same nights. They are veterans now.

A little tear to yet another sub .500 record? Maybe a W in AC? I’ll pass on the jumping and rolling. Thanks though.

Who needs to run the table is Dunne and Co. on the recruiting trail for 2020 and 2021. As i said ,,they are all winnable games ,,but i would consider any loss a bad loss in the remaining games ..thats all .. I'm hoping for 4-2 and that'll leave 2 games with losses by 1 or 2 points ..that we've become accustomed to ..
