Where are the fans? Empty building. Another embarrassment

Fans have given up as lower bowl looks almost empty in first 10 rows
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

That is a sad commentary and so unlike the Muskies. Sean has his worki cut out for him. This program is on the rocks.

Worked late and missed the first half. St. Johns had 20 offensive and outrebounded us by 20 rebounds. Zuby Pink Shoes is a beast. Freemantle kept it respectable but St. John's was too quick and big and athletic for us .We look like a beaten down team. Foster and Conwell were exposed against a fast team like St. John's. Nice to see Hugley have some success. Happy to see Fletcher get in too. McKnight looked engaged and Swain looked good after the game was over. St. John's is a very tough matchup for us. Hope I'm wrong but I would be very surprised if Miller can turn this season around.

Knowing Cincinnati was hard hit by the regional storm, thought many may have left because of storm (and poor X play) fatigue.

Now, while no individual is responsible for a defeat, Conwell’s stats are stark:

FG 1-10, FT 6-6, 1 Board, 2 Assts., 3 TO’s.

Maybe Coach Miller should sit Conwell at the start of the DePaul game to determine if Ryan is still hungry or has already quit. Might also send a message to all that giving up Offensive Rebounds is grounds for benching.

Millers idea of recruiting undersized mid major mid major guards and letting go promising bigs is killing this program. Maddox, Foster, Hughley, and Hunter simply are not BE players. We used to be the aggressor and now we can’t even box out. Conwell was the second best player on a mid major NIT team and Miller thinks he is going to be the man? Swain hasn’t gotten better since high school and refuses to box out. I said it earlier this team won’t win five more games. Miller has no clue what to do with a roster these days. #nomorepodcasts

Best offensive team we have ever had.
