Gameday vs Quinnipiac. 7pm. ESPN+

[nomar33]

this was a terrible loss - outside of Cunningham NO one played well

[leo16]

45 seconds and two timeouts with the ball out of bounds... Does Coach think they carry over?

[nomar33]

I don't see how this roster can win

[tg28]

Crap.

[one]

Worst reffing I have seen yet. The red foxes deserve better. Those refs should be reprimanded. Call after call was wrong and they all benefited Quinnipiac.

Let that one get away. Credit to Cunningham with 17 rebounds. Came to play

You lose at home to a team starting 4 freshmen, and you're not beating them for a long time.

Haven’t beaten them for a long time. That was 6 in a row.

Really disappointing, thought they were going in the right direction after playing well vs Manhattan and Fairfield.

Need to finish that game after taking a 7 point lead into the fourth.

I really don't piss and moan about officiating as a rule but I thought those three were absolutely awful. They made it look plausible - we were whistled 4 fewer times and shot 5 more free throws - but crunch time every call and non-call went to Q.

On the other hand, tip the cap to their 14-14 free throw shooting and the Foley big beasting on us inside.

They miss one FT in regulation or just one of our shots that spun off the rim drops instead and we're celebrating a win over the program we love to hate. Basketball just sucks sometimes, yanno?

Lot of ugly numbers offensively in this game. Starters huge minutes. Recruiting of last few years obviously hasn't panned out. However, the new assistant volchok has a good recruiting background if I remember correctly. Hopefully he has been hitting recruiting trail hard with coach.

YA, Lost to the QPAC JV Team.

We need to recruit and we need to hit on them. We brought kids in who were supposed to improve our shooting form beyond the arc - Tarul is .322 and Costanino is .281. They need kids who can play and make impact immediately. The more Fisher misses games the more I stand by we need to use scholarship to bring in a healthy body.

If the refs were a problem last night then Marist has no one to blame but themselves.  When your reeling opponent has kept you in the game by playing offense like the gang that couldn’t shoot straight, and the best you can retaliate with on your home court is shooting 27%/23%, it’s on you for making the officiating a factor.  The offensive ineptitude is alarming.  I thought last night’s postgame interview video with Coach Doughty was the first time her demeanor and body language looked down.

Like others I was thinking they were heading in the right direction after battling effectively at both ends of the court in the FF and Manhattan games. Instead they seem to have found a new way to plumb the depths of futility on offense.

Recruiting and the offense have been subpar for 3 years now. Zaria, Katie and Jackie are the only 4 year players to make an impact in the past 3 years. As for the transfers Kiara is one of the leagues best players but, unfortunately, is available too little of the time. Maeve was a high risk/high reward gamble that didn’t work out. Tarul and Lee haven’t made a difference. Yup. The new assistant coach has a reputation as a recruiter coming from Iona. Let’s see what the next two classes bring.

Over the past 20 years I (and probably some of you too) have gotten used to recruiting classes that produced multiple impact players and no worse than solid understudies. Unfortunately, I’ve gone into “prove it” mode going forward on recruits until they show they can play at this level.
