Why are we worse than last year? Similar team less a little bit of weaver and sissoko. Addition of Mongolian mike.

Obvious answer is guard play. No Elvis and Mali for most of the year. The Mali we have had is not the same as last years mali(yet?). We may miss Elvis more because he is cocky and confidently in scoring. Games where we were really good he usually played well. Hopefully he can return to that.

Holmes is definitely better but still not super physically strong. He had an incredible 3 week run. The last few games teams are being Uber physical with him and double teaming. He has not finished well with contact. I love daron but he is young and still developing. We r lucky to have him and he cares and is a good kid and will keep getting better. Maybe nba after junior year makes more sense

We have definitely lost our confidence and killer instinct since the vcu game. We need a couple of wins and continued development of Mali and Elvis to get this train turned around.

I love ag. He is a great person and recruits good kids. Parents love him. I don’t disagree about some of his in game coaching. Long runs by the opposing team comes to mind. Too much zone when it seems we r not really ready to do it well. Easy 3 s for the other team are infuriating. Maybe he is not himself after the tragedy he and his family went thru. We as fans do not really know. But I know I like ag and would prefer he has success and finished his career at Dayton.

The negativity on this board is painful to read. Let’s let the season play out to the end and see where we finish. I prefer to be behind the coaches and players. I would think they would appreciate our support, and probably perform better when we have their back. Let’s blow the roof off the arena Saturday and get ourselves back to playing well again. And see where things go in the a10 tourney.

Go flyers. Let’s finish this season on an upswing.
