Hook, Stark and Dabney are all solid players. We sure miss what Mack could bring us depth wise. Drye is solid on the boards but struggles scoring in the paint and at the line. We haven't gotten any production from our post position. And last game we couldn't defend a 6'6" guy in the post. Someone needs to step up in that position if we are going to win more than 6 CUSA games.

I agree. It's just hard to understand how he could give a freshman in his first start 17 minutes of playing time but only give Thomas 4 minutes in each of his starts. A player can't get into any type of rythym in that situation.tpstulane wrote:Hook, Stark and Dabney are all solid players. We sure miss what Mack could bring us depth wise.

Coach Conmanroy has sunk Tulane Basketball to its lowest depth since the program was reinstated!

So Tulane's athletic director is responsible for 2 completely lost lame duck seasons in the 2 major revenue sports within the last 3 years.JDTulane wrote:Well this is another Bob Toledo extension feeling year
Let's just say that Dickson hadn't made a single other mistake in his 15 year tenure, the above situation alone is a fireable offense.
I'm sure the opaque facilities strategy will turn out great though.

With a young program like ours, it was not unexpected to take a step back the year after enjoying our first post season in a decade. It takes some years to build a complete roster, where you can survive graduation and attrition.
We're all disappointed with the outcome of the last 2 games. But I saw our young men fight hard out there tonight. This freshmen group has a lot of potential and it won't be long before we have another great season like last year, if not next year, then for sure the next.
I hate to be cliche, but this really isn't the year to judge by wins and losses. Look for progress, improvement, and effort.

Another disappointing loss. Colgate came out on fire. It didn't matter if we had a hand in their face or not. They played like EC says he wants us to play. The difference is they have a coach who can teach his players to play the system. When they weren't hitting 3's they would swing the ball and end up w/ a back door cut. It was painful to watch as a Tulane fan. As a basketball fan it was a thing of beauty. You don't see many teams that play so fundamentally well. They did the entire 40 minutes. Hats off to them.
It's a shame to see the talent of Stark and Dabney wasted. Then you see Reynolds play and see his potential but then EC suddenly pushes him further down the bench and gives him no chance to grow. Stark needs rest and one way to do that is to put Dabney at the point and bring Reynolds in. Unless he finds a way to push the right buttons and turn this around he's got to be fired or we'll see more defections.

Same story, Dabney, Stark, and Hook vs 12 guys.
We haven't defended in the last few games. Colgate loaded up in the first 5 mins with about 5 straight uncontested 3's. The rest of the game we tried to play catch-up but couldn't close that initial gap. Going to be a long and difficult season IMO. The road only gets tougher.

I'll give EC's team kudos for effort. I have not seen this team quit at any point this year.VanceWGreen wrote:With a young program like ours, it was not unexpected to take a step back the year after enjoying our first post season in a decade.

I'll even suspend judgment on the W's and L's. Because they play so hard, I expect we'll see several upsets this year but probably a losing overall record.
However where's the progress and improvement of the program? Do you really think last year was a "great season?" And we should look forward to year six of EC because it will be as good as year three after half his team bails early and voluntarily?
How do you see this team playing in AAC next year since your comments don't make me optimistic about performing in CUSA this season (perhaps a two bid league this year instead of typical one?)
I can't believe I'm saying this but it's been almost 15 years since Tulane even had a Top 100 MBB team and 20 years since it had an NCAA tourney team. Do you think the current program will make the NCAA in 2016 and if so why?
