Looking a lot more focused tonight. But we’re not utilizing Payne or Hines at all. Troublesome if that’s the case against smaller and lower level opponents

All 5 backups on floor together again, 7-0 run for Fairfield. 🙄

I want to root for Felton, but I feel like all he's been doing is give up open looks on the perimeter whenever he's in the game.

The double teams on the perimeter. Just bad all around. I still can’t grasp the notion the coaching staff is ok with that.

They’re outscoring Fairfield in the paint 14 to 2. They have a player who is bigger and stronger than anyone on Fairfield. It’s past time to get Hines involved in the offense.

running the weave at the top of the key and taking the air out of the ball - simpkins scored at the first half buzzer - but it'll never be a formula for real success

Well, we didn’t cover the first half, for those foolish like me who was in NY and bet on us to do so. Hopefully we play better this half and cover the game.

Offense not good, Clark's best game so far but in foul trouble. Hines looks good.

Nice start to this half, let the best guys stay on the court... please.

Get Dar and Simkins some quality minutes as well.

Yeah, that looked really bad. And you could tell from the look on Sha's face while watching the replay that he thought so too.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a very real chance we don't see him again this year. I'm not doctor so certainly not trying to diagnose him or say it's what he did, but the knee movement reminded me of when Victor Cruz tore his patellar tendon.

Hope Felton is ok. Offense much better in second half, balanced, maybe we have some options.

Felton injury made my stomach turn. I honestly don't know what I was looking at. Lower leg buckled in a gruesome way. My heart really is breaking for this kid.
