Disheartening to say the least. Thank God for Boudreaux. 7-11 for 15 points and 9 rebounds. One person came to play. Wright? 0-9 from the field. 0 points! 5 rebs. Smith? 0-5 from the field. 0 points! Dickenson, our 5? 3 points and 1 rebound. Fleming, 2-6 from the floor, 4-4 FT and ZERO defense. 8 total points. OUR STARTERS SCORED 26 POINTS THE WHOLE GAME AND BOUDREAUX HAD 15 OF THEM! And no it wasn't only Princeton's defense. We could not shoot. But in addition to our horrible offense, our defense was equally atrocious. Fleming, Johnson(3 total points) and Wright were the worst. All standing around while their guys cut back door. Sagging off 3 point shooters. Going behind picks instead of over the top or not switching. Watch the replay. Clearly they are players that are not playing with intensity and passion. You would think that with one game to play and needing 1 win to potentially get into the tournament, they would leave it all on the floor. They didn't. The offensive and defensive effort from Fleming, Wright, and Johnson was unconscionably bad. I for one say thank God Fleming is gone. Did anyone see our "point guard" Fleming dribbling for 5-10 seconds at the top of the key, unable to start the offense and unable to make entry or wing passes? Did you see how many times his guy drove by him and someone was forced to help? I am certain that Henderson said to his team "guys, they can't play defense, especially Wright, Johnson, and Fleming, so attack the basket if they are guarding you". That's pretty much what they did. And Boudreaux and Dickenson tried to play cleanup and had to allow layups or they'd have fouled out of the game it happened so often. We need a complete reload on our team (keep Boudreaux, get Smith to work on his defense) with players that compete, have passion, and have high basketball IQ's. As fans, we can pray that McLaughlin's recruits can make immediate impacts and breath some life into this awful team. PS, Cam Smith was a breath of fresh air and he played with passion, as did Jonas Stakeliunas. Hey Coach, time to rethink those lineups next year. Princeton clearly deserved the win (master of the obvious) as we were outplayed badly in EVERY aspect of the game. Good luck to Penn, Princeton, Harvard, and Yale. We'll see you again next year!
