Q is currently the only guard on our roster. It sucks he had his freshman game today but you X4life asking him to get benched is hilarious. Also no ed no Myles no bluiett its not like Q has a ton of guys left to dish it to.

Lol! I didn't say they should bench him. I said they should sit him for a few minutes. And I believe there are a couple of guys out there to dish to Gaston, Gates, Macura, Omara. Goodin is having a terrible game. Why not sit him for a while and give him some advice?

1st time in Tre's college career that he has failed to score.
Understand that he was playing on one leg but without him, X had no chance today.

Because they don't have another guard?

Great game for RaShid - 23 points, 10-13 from the field and 10 boards, including 6 o-boards.

Rest of the team -
6-21 from 3 or 29% (Q was 0-4 from 3)
5-26 from 2 or 19%. (Q was 1-10 from 2)

Doesn't get any easier - X goes on the road for 3 games - Providence, Marquette and Seton Hall.

Macura or Bernard can play point and they go big with Jones Gaston and Gates. Gates can shoot a three, can't he? Maybe a few minutes would have done Q some good. Catch his breath and get his head back in the game. There are no rules saying you have to play three or even two guards.

Going big didn't work. Created too many mismatches on defense. .Would be nice to rest Quentin but we're short handed to begin with. Tim Stainbrook would have had to p lay. This game was over when Bluiett went out

when Tre went out Nova went on a 22-9 run,

I wasn't saying that going big was the key to winning. I think Q needed time to gather his thoughts. I think he is feeling the pressure of replacing Sumner and is just trying to do too much. Guys tried to step up, X gave it their all. But there is something missing. Nova has players missing and still is tough to beat. They have that "it" factor, swag, confidence and cool under pressure even when they are missing a player or two. Part of the problem right now for X is they haven't really come together. They really haven't had a chance to. But, like Mack has said you play with what you've got. I think there's hope but, the time to come together and for players to step up and play consistent team basketball is fading with each passing game. I am hoping for the best.

[Anti-Homer]

If Mack isn't going to sit Goodin for a few minutes can an assistant? At this point if I were other players I would play keep away just to prevent Goodin from handling or shooting the ball.Gates and Macura playing hard though.

Having Bernard or Macura play pg against Nova’s defense would have been disastrous. Goodin actually ran a very good game at point. He just should have realized after the 5th shot (and reinforced from the bench), that dishing the ball, and not shooting it, is his strength. Most pgs finish about 80-85%% of the time at the rim. Even if Goodin finished 50% of his point blank shots, X would at least have had a chance.
