Averages 60+ points per game, has lost a bunch but played in 3 overtime games already, and beat Fordham by 8 just last week. We are in for one

I think we wake up for Maine and Columbia. Just a feeling

Maine stinks. It's an absolute disaster if we lose to them at home.

Tell that to Hartford and Stony Brook last season.

Stony Brook was somewhat understandable as is Fordham. Hartford was a horrible loss.

 

[bac2therac]

the way we lost Stony was inexcusable...we had the game in hand then brainfarted in the last minute.

a loss to Maine or Columbia would be catastrophic IMO

If we lose to Maine or Columbia, I’m off the Pikiell band wagon. PS I don’t think we will lose either game. But if we do, watch out.

As opposed to football, in b-ball at least we have some young players who are truly more athletic than we’ve had in the past and appear to be a base to build around.

Today’s loss is inexcusable, but there is hope for 2019 and beyond unlike in football.

Pikiell = Ash with a round ball

How is Fordham understandable? Do tell.

Ummm...no.

KenPom had us at like 68% to win. It wasn't an earth-shattering upset.

 

[higgins3]

The program must beat Maine. I think they will come out blazing and win by 15-20.

Looks like the Pike man crush is turning into Ashes.

What an idiotic post

People on this board need to lower their expectations for this team. So many young players with a lot of upside. I agree the Fordham lost was horrible and this team was not ready to play. Look around college basketball and you see bad loses like this every night. This team is still learning their roles and a lot of them are 18-19 years old playing Div 1 college basketball for the 1st time Honor single handily hit some unbelievable shots from deep to beat us. We didn’t put them away when he had the chance and that is something Pikes needs to instill in these young guys. One big problem I see is this team does not have the offensive firepower to come back when we get down by double digits to any team. Better days will come. It just sucks when we all have waited so long for a winning program.

What is worse...
Losing to Fordham and beating Iowa by 5
OR
Beating Fordham and losing to Iowa by 1

There are 30+ games. The result of 1 game is not catastrophic and the result of a single game is not a litmus test.
