Bless you, Chris. You asked all of the questions we were pondering.

It sounds like the guys will be doing some soul-searching over Christmas. And it looks like we have found some gamers on the bench.

It didn't. You posted it in the wrong thread. It's over on the Howard game thread

I never could keep track of that one! Sneaky bugger

Sounds like Marshall had a 'disagreement' with the coaching staff.
We are continuing to make mistakes that a team as 'experienced' as we are should not be making.
Retic is a question mark for me. I think I like him but want to see more

Just when we start showing progress the same old habits come back.

Retic needs to start 6-3 and can create his own shot. I like Devon but its mostly 3 pointer or bust. We desperately need a guy who can create and score when needed. I believe Joe Retic is close to being a star in the Big South.

I'd go with Marshall and Retic. But again I THINK I like Retic but need to see more

Retic has his first decent game & you say he's close to being a star, your obviously clueless!

It's easier to play well when your down 24 and have nothing to lose at that point....

I loved the rally in the tournament last year and thought that would spark this team into a successful season this year including winning most nonconference games but this is team is boring, plays lousy defense, and seems anemic on offense. Don't know what is going on but i wouldnt know what to do because im not a coach and I understand coaching is more difficult than we the fans think. Layer has a tough job to fix and hopefully this turns around but I would like to see success the whole season rather than the end again.

Im sure Layer wants success too. Just don't know what to do with a team that had so much coming back from a team that got to the tournament and is basically laying a goose egg so far.

They have stated the problem: they don't trust each other. If you don't have trust you don't have chemistry. If you don't have chemistry (or overwhelming talent) it's very difficult to win games and win them consistently
