Give NFU credit. They are attacking and getting the switches they want. Making tough shouts near the basket.

We clearly need to step up our defense.

I want to blame the coach and players but psychologically they are coming out empty defensively and on the boards because fans and alumni and students clearly don’t give a **** about them. It’s just human nature. Not sure how to fix it.

The positives are that we had few turnovers and a lot of assists. We also shot the 3 really well. The negatives are clearly the defense and free throw shooting. We have a talented group, they need to gel and show some want to on defense. If we can do that, I still think that we can have a decent year. I'm hoping this will start something like what we saw in 2021 where we lost to GA State and Mercer to start the year and then the guys got it together in ACC play.

Every stinking year this happens. 105 points 😡. That was the worst defensive effort I can remember in a long time. Every guy was getting beat off the dribble. We don’t box out. They got every 50-50 ball. Why do we switch on every screen. They abused us on that all night. We scored a lot, but our bigs missed or got blocked on so many layups. Frustrating loss like we experience every year. Really disappointed!

North Florida’s style of play caused major problems for us. Our on ball defense was very poor today. Tough loss.

Terrible coached game. We made zero adjustments and let them drive to the basket every play. Lance Terry is the only guy to show up on defense today. Our bigs looked slow and out of shape. One of which needs to ride the bench the rest of the year. We got blown out on our own floor by a high school team.There is no excuse for this loss. Disgusted!

Not happy with this especially since they beat South Carolina; we knew they were a threat - the intensity at end was missing at beginning. Baye had 20, with missed layups and FTs, shoulda had 30. They say he put on 20 lbs, he seems a sniff slower, not as gazelle like in traffic. George’s scoring is completely missing - maybe he’s letting others find their groove before being more assertive. Powell likes to carry himself like a dawg, but dude hasn’t finished sh*t at the rim. Gotta be much better. Dorian needs more time; get him comfortable now, he is a stretch weapon if he gets more minutes. I like this team, but with all those coaches, we can’t teach defense?

They hung 105 on us while shooting 29% from 3. They outscored us 22 to 6 from the stripe. They made almost twice as many free throws (22) as we attempted (12).

Show me stats like that, and I'll show you a team that can't defend the post and has no concept of weak side defense. Going in, the assumption was that our starting five could score but the question was, could they defend? Question is still open.

Can Damon Stoudamire coach? Can he get his players to play hard consistently? Still open questions, unfortunately.

Bad loss for a program that can't afford bad losses.
