Down by 20.

2 steps back.

yep....about all that can be said.

Still the first half, but anyone that can watch this and still think Fox deserves another year is out of their mind. We have the athletes but I’m starting to wonder what we actually do during practice. Without looking at stats, I don’t see how anyone can be worse defensively. The scouting report on us is simple, we have no half court offense. We also have yet to figure out an effective and efficient way to break a half court press. We are incredibly careless with the ball on offense. I don’t think I’ve seen a D1 team dish out so many lazy passes in a game.
I love Justin Forest and his ability to drive to the hoop but drawing a foul is pointless if you can’t shoot free throws any better. Feels like he could score 40 a game if he could shoot FT’s.

We’ve got the athletes, but they deserve better than this. GO APPS!!

52-34 Stink at the half.

Miserable finish to the half. Lazy TOS, poor FT shooting, too many difficult shots, poor defensive rebounding? and giving up 17 pts to Tookie who we all know is getting the damn ball.

Just first half but 18 pts is a big defect. I expect us to come out and cut this thing to a couple possessions by the under 8 and then it gets away... seems to be a our rapport this season. Hope to be proved wrong.

Bad defense, poor ball protection on offense. Hard to watch.

Attendance-wise, the student promotions (free shirts, flatscreen TV giveaway) have worked well the last couple games, but there hasn't been anything on the court today worth coming back for.

Gross

Meanwhile Coastal is up 26 on GA State.

Carter with 4 fouls now. He’s crushed us on the boards. Hope we keep trying to work it inside, GSU in a bit of foul trouble.

i'm not a big basketball guy, but I just don't think we're as good as we thought we were going into the season.

i've been on the fence about coaching but i think its time for a change.

Absolutely terrible on defense, terrible passing, terrible free throw shooting.

Simply put, if the 3’s are falling we keep it close. If not, we have no chance, like today.

Is Pierre and his partner watching the game? Just said plenty of time to get back in the game. Down 20 with 5:00 to go.

And could make a run at the championship? Uh what?

Two songs running through my head--Statesboro Blues and Whipping Post.

Truly weird, this Sun Belt. We beat Coastal by 9 in a game that wasn't that close and then lost to GaSt. Then Coastal turns around and ties the Panthers to the whipping post. Strange.

Here comes another 20 loss season.

After awhile you run out of things to say when calling games for App State Basketball.

I just assumed having Banks calling games was a tactic by the AD to encourage attendance.

So much for the “look how competitive our losses are!” talking point.

Fire Fox tonight. End of discussion.
