Glad to get the win, but face off remains an unsolved weakness. What is wrong with our coaches that we haven’t had a stud since Woodall seven years ago?

Horrible shooting today across the board. I was especially disappointed by the squandered fast-break opportunities. We kept making one pass too many. Defense played well, though.

Best thing that happened to us was Downs taking a ball off the shin. He had been bad and Nolan made the most of his chance. I especially like his quick release on clears.

It might be more apt to say “Pat vs. Everyone.” Like him or not, I think we have to resign ourselves to him having, essentially, a lifetime contract. Win or lose tonight, he’ll continue to do enough year in and year out to keep getting extensions. When he decides to retire, we’ll get a new coach.

Complete collapse in that quarter.

Chop Gallagher with another TO. Just no awareness

We just don’t react well to the defensive pressure. Turnover after turnover.

I'm surprised we've kept it close. We look a step slower than UVa, especially in this half

That missed opportunity on the fast break with 2 minutes to play stings. We had numbers.

UNCW’s loss means we get a top 4 seed if we go 2-0 this weekend, regardless of what Hofstra and Drexel do. A tall order, I know, but within the realm of possibility.

I really hope Tarke doesn't come back next year. As has been noted in other threads, he's slow-footed and seems to get his shot blocked more often than not when going to the basket. As for those long-range bricks he throws up ... he even managed an airball on one attempt today. To my mind, he adds next to nothing to our lineup. At least Williamson has some moves when driving and also mixes in a fairly accurate step-back shot. And, at the risk of sounding too dreary, I have NO HOPE of us reaching the NCAAs this decade. Nothing has changed with this coach, and nothing will. The AD is happy that we got 4,300 people into the arena today -- even if a third of them were kids showing their autism solidarity. I doubt there were 100 students in the "student section." The fact that we'll finish with a (barely) winning record will qualify this year as a success.

10-3 with 4 to play in the 2nd. We're shooting well and defending, but have been shaky on clears.

7-1 at the start of the second quarter. We came out like gangbusters, then lost some momentum, played a lot on the defensive end of the field.

Goal off the faceoff by Meidling. 7-1.

Up 6-1 with 4 minutes to play in the first. Impressive start.
