Hard to fault the effort no moral victories but I think we can surprise some people this season....I don't think we even played a great game and were within 7 with under 3 to go against a team projected to be a top 4 Big East team. We looked well coached and prepared. Providence had to shoot 52% from 3 just to win by 10.
We have to defend the three better...but we can shoot them. Seymour, Degnan and Ratliff all hit some big shots. Defense struggled but Providence is likely the toughest team we will face in the regular season. Pickett and Camper are two young guys that will get better and better as the season goes on.
On to GW...a winnable game if we shoot it well and force some turnovers.

Decent Effort for first game out under new coach, new system and so many new faces. If they stay healthy and together as a team these Saints should be competitive in the MAAC.

Man, a few possessions that were lost in the second half- if those become scores, I think the Dunkin Center starts getting anxious. Great effort.
Seymour looks good.
Next: Thursday November 8th, @ George Washington, 7 pm, ESPN+ (Get your subscription if you want to watch...)

Wasn’t the best possible outcome but I can see flashes of what is trying to be done. Don’t like the shot clock violations and still letting their best player have a monster game. We’ll know more next time out. their best player is Diallo, it is the frosh Reeves having a monster game in his first career game............. The point is that was an issue in the patsos era... one player having a career game night after night... kid is 7-7 but still no one within 10 feet of him just a little deja vu on that one but it’s early.

Ok-Call me crazy but we may not lose a MAAC game this year. I'll call that right now with pride...all due to the kids working hard and to a coach who knows what he's doing. We will win the MAAC you heard it here first!

Sometimes you have to pick your poison...you can take someone away but someone else can go off. This is especially true playing up in competition. Let's see as the season goes on. That's one positive of playing your toughest game first. Will be interesting to see how Providence does this year. But many more positives than negatives in this one IMHO.

Overall happy with the first game.....losing so much from an already bad team and counting on so many new faces with new coach and system. I really like Pickett and the two shooters Seymour and Ratliff, they did outstanding for it being their first game.

Love the 3 point shooting. Make 12 a game you will be in games but you can't give up 13.

Without a doubt slow defensive rotations most times and just not being aware on D it was, but JC does not currently have the athletes to defend that consistently...........he wants to play more man anyway, so the fact that he has to go more zone is all we need to know with what he has to deal it..........you just hope the other team doesn't go off, tonight it was Reeves, perhaps without him being that hot it might have been a 1-2 possession game at the end..............
