Daly tweeted we took 22 more shots.

Zero help defense led by ledlum who watched or didn’t see a dribbler going right passed him at least 5 times

Paging Jordan Dingle. You’re here to score. Jenkins is the whipping boy on here so far but Dingle is playing like a passive lost freshman

86 to BC. Creighton and Marquette would’ve dropped 115 on us
 
Ledlum is a disappointment. Cant shoot, defend, nor finish at the rim. The press was a failure with BC getting run outs. Our guards too easily get beat on dribble drives to the basket. Defense is just not this teams thing.
I told you guy after the Stony Brook game he looks physically overmatched. It seems pretty clear now. The Big East isn't Dartmouth and Brown every night
 
This is an expectations changing game for me. BC is just as talented as us, we have no reason anymore to think we’re underachieving. This may just be who we are: big-ish names, inconsistent motor, inconsistent defense, inconsistent offense, and generally not smart basketball.

I’ve been trying to rattle my head around who’s been more disappointing since Dingle. Ricky Torres? I wonder if stuff is going on, I hope everything is alright. But as you watch the game, especially close to the opposing bench, you notice how the teams are clearly hunting him on defense. His defense makes him unplayable. He looks scared on offense.

Soriano is the one differentiator we have compared to other middle of the pack teams in the Big East. But I’m done thinking we will make the tournament and go .500 or better in the Big East. Maybe we will, but maybe not.

At this point in the season, the *team* does not deserve benefit of the doubt. (Pitino, ofc)
 
Jenkins is the guy. We can talk about how frustrating he is, but I trust him a whole lot more than Ledlum or Dingle
If our plan is to hope Jenkins or dingle can get hot while they both taking turns getting burnt on the other side of the court, we aren’t going to win very many games.

This team has yet to really show up against teams that have capable high major scoring guards. Not sure if that’s going to change based on our personnel
 
Their really going to have to steal some wins in conference
Every game win lose out of conference we have to win another one in conference. Right now, as it stands, if we win all the rest of our OOC games we have to go 12-8 in conference to make the tournament.
