I don't know much about coaching basketball, but I'm really good about knowing bad basketball when I see it - and that was 40 minutes of really bad basketball by our side.

It's not that we lost to Northeastern - it's that we were never in the game. I have a lot more thoughts but will save them until a few more games have played out..

3-19 vs 9-17 in three pointers. 16% vs 53% The zone kills Alabama. Other teams have players who can catch and shoot. I hope not, but this could be another year of waiting for shooters to arrive with the next class.

Agreed.

While I don't want to lose to a team from the Colonial, I can understand losing to one that is very good and has experienced veterans. This game was just bad. It's the type performance that will leave a very bad taste in fans' mouths and is ammo to those that like hot seat talk.

I don't even know what to say.

How can we (year after year) be so poor at basic fundamentals?

I like CAJ as far as his passion and enthusiasm goes and he was a phenomenal player.......but I'm not sure that he knows how to coach/teach a team.

Losses like this should not happen at this point.

I had assumed this game to be a win with two big challenges coming up in the next few days. What a disappointment.
For some reason I had let myself get hopeful of having only 1 or 2 losses before conference play.

Why, though?

The line for the game was 4. ESPN's win probability for Alabama was 68%.

Again, I'm not happy with the loss. Primarily because the way it happened. Why do some just assume Alabama is going to beat a team like Northeastern, though?

It seems like we are not developing players. If they have mad skills, we let them play but there isn’t a lot of development happening.
