Just one of those games, HC is a solid team and executed well today and exposed some of the weak links in our roster.
That’s why I’ve been saying keep expectations in check!

4 games into the season, how many fast break points have the Saints scored? Looks like they will live and die by the 3. Lack of makes today really hurt them. Also do not see a player who can slash and drive it the basket in the half court. It is early in the season, lots of changes and a work in progress for sure. Early on looks like JC does not have enough of his type of players to truly execute Mayhem. Given the reality where the program is and the team is, a 2 - 2 start not to be unexpected. Will be fun to see where JC takes the team from here. Miles ahead of where the program was under JP. Looking forward to seeing them at at the TUC on Wednesday.

First stinker of the year...hey let's not overact it is going to happen a few times this year (hopefully not too many). When we're not making threes we are going to struggle. Also some head scratching TOs which we avoided in the first three games.
We simply could not put the ball in the hoop today... Saints were up 32-27 with about 17 minutes to go and HC went on a 30-13 run to end the game. I'm sure we'll see some adjustments when we play HC in another month.
On to Lehigh the Patriot league favorite...Saints finally get to play at home and I expect us to play very well at home under this coaching staff.

Disappointing one... just didn’t make shots and don’t think we did a very good job keeping poise when that didn’t happen.
I’ll take 2-2 through 4 with no home games.

If they play like this, it's a last place team. This loss on the coach 100%. Came out scored on first four possessions of the half 32-27 they are up. Makes a complete line change HC goes on 11-0 run. Game over.

We knew we were going to have games like this. As you say, HC is a solid, well-coached team that had the league's defensive POY and a an rookie last year. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Work to do but not a bad start to the season. We knew we would struggle at times w/ a lot of turnover & coach taking over in May. I feel good about this team. Bring it home guys for our opener on Wednesday! Go Saints!

If you had told me two weeks ago, we would be 2-2 after being on the road for the first four games, I'd have taken it in a minute - one road win only during the 17-18 season. It will be big what our team does at home - so let's all come on out Wednesday night and support the Green and Gold. Go Saints!

I'm not worried about this game- knew there would be games like this. Team has to hit a lot of 3's to be competitive, my expectations have not changed one iota-- between 9-14 wins. Loss of Richard was felt today. We will be tough out at home. The reality is we have one good player ( Pickett) 2 or 3 shooters and a bunch of role players. Help is on the way for next year with return of Khalil , Carey and real good freshmen class

Game over. So what's your prediction? If you want, I will put my 2 wagers back on the table. Care to take them now? 1. 8th or better in the league 2. Over/under at 12 wins - 12 = push Did you grow any yet or do you just want to talk big?

I think Manny can be the slasher that we need at times - he shows flashes. At least for this season.
In games where the threes aren't falling, I think it would be wise to turn him loose to take it to the rack to score or get to the line. That just may not be a fit for JC's system, though.
