I sent my kids to the game tonight with grandparentsâŚdidnât watch a single play. How on godâs green earth do you only beat FD by 6 at home? Inexcusable. They outscored us by 4 in the 2nd half. This game bothers me as much as Hofstra and Monmouth. It doesnât appear we are improving at all.
Just a bad game. How does GW beat Kentucky?
Everyone has a bad game. I think we are alot better then we played tonight. Were not as good as some of people on here think though.
Metro, are you bored and trying to find someone to pick a fight with? Im gonna sit back and enjoy this one. I say Metro -3.5

Weâre also not as bad as Metro thinks. We are a slightly above average basketball team that will improve as they play together. They also seem to play better with hyped crowds.

If our team is EVER as bad as metro thinks it is, itâs time to give up on the whole basketball thing altogether.
If you didnât go to the game donât come on criticizing our play. We didnât play great but we were up by double digits pretty much all game. Lee had one of his worst games, coley was playing gingerly on his hurt ankle. We won!!! That is all that matters. Sorry to come across as an a**hole but we just had a bad game and guess what we won!!
The âpredicted scoresâ only had us winning by 7 points, so Iâm not much surprised. But, when you hold a teamâs scoring to 18 below their average, youâre doing something right.
Ironic, though⌠that someone who admits he never saw a single play can be so critical.

Probably pretty true.
If you were at the game, you wouldâve seen some positives. Defense played well.
However, other than Wilderness, I thought the effectiveness of the offense was as bad or worse than anything I saw last year at Halton.
Good thing this was FDU and not Dayton, Xavier or Rhode IslandâŚthose schools wouldâve KICKED our ass.
Will be interesting to see how Lutz prepares for a mediocre, but talented Maryland team and Clempson.
Just a bad game. How does GW beat Kentucky?Everyone has a bad game.
we seem to have more than our share lately,
enjoy the kool aid
Play better if the crowd is louder/bigger? You play a game, ANY GAME, regardless
of the crowd, TO WIN. I said Win and win big.

its Fairleigh-Dickinson (people on NNN who actually know sports- which is getting fewer and fewer, know how bad of a program FD is), you donât allow them to come into Halton with a 6 point margin. I can look at a stat sheet and see 20-62 FG%. And since when do you have to watch the game to be upset about the outcome? Ridiculous post Cptn.
We're also not as bad as Metro thinks. Tintin
really? We canât score. 20-62 fg against mfân Fairleigh-Dickinson at home. :lmao:
the stat sheet looks like we played Duke.
With Leemire having a piss poor game offensively and us building such a big lead. I was excited. Didnât like us letting them back in the game, but THAT happens all the time. We defended well, they hit some 3âs with our guys all over them, but did hit a couple uncontested ones. Its a win, we shot good from the FT line (for us), rebounded well, and when Gaby was in there, they werenât going to get anything in the lane.

Well, the dominant colors of the FDU unis were blue and white.

Whatâs ridiculous is that you think a stat sheet tells the whole story. If youâre as attuned to sports as you claim to be (and more so than others on this board), youâd know that a list of numbers without knowing how those numbers were produced is completely senseless.

that is almost code for âthe average fan doesnât know how good Fairleigh-Dickinson isâ

I am âattunedâ enough to know that beating one of the worst D1 programs in the NCAA by 6 at home, and shooting 20-62 is B-R-U-T-A-L. Stat sheets donât tell all, but there is a reason they exist.
I just think one of Lutzâ trademarks is playing to your competition. It happens over and over and over and over again. Like I said a few weeks ago, I bet Lutz (a scratch golfer) probably shoots 100 when he plays with 3 hackers. I am sure we will play Maryland and Clemson tough now because they are âACCâ and they get âreal focused for the fansâ :rolleyes:
Was at the game. That performance was brutal. Iâve been going to games since '90 and that was one of the worst performances from a Niner team vs a lame ass FDU. You do not play like that vs a cupcake at HOME!! Play like that vs Terps and see what it gets ya. Weâll see.

for the record, I hate that quote and wish it would be banished to the Gulag.
We should have closed out FDU, no excuses. However, we let them get within 3 points and held on. A win is a win, time to move on.

Letâs hope.

Oh I will. Throw in lots of sugar too.
It was a bad game, and watching the game, you could tell we were lethargic. We didnt have bad games against HP, App, SIU, WF, Davidson.
