With three of them at home. Wow -- what gives. Things looked so promising when we were 12-2 in CAA play. At this point, I can see a loss next Saturday and you know what, how about no post-season play.

This team is so frustrating.
 
This team sucks and frankly has no business being the 4th seed.

We are so overrated it isn't even funny!
 
What a horrible way for the seniors to end their last regular season :?
 
yeah they are garbage, there isn't any other way to describe them at this point. 3 home conference losses in front of the best crowds of the year no less. This team isn't tough, resilient, and maybe not as talented as we all wished it was.
 
How poorly did we shoot in the second half?

I also have a question about scheduling -- how is it that we had so many tough games down the stretch (last 5 games), while GMU and others get the cupcakes?

I hope you're not implying scheduling had anything to do with this, we couldn't hang with the best in the league. It's as simple as that, somebody else mentioned we are overrated and that is true.
 
I'm glad I stopped watching the webcast after half time and went to the gym. Sad to say something like that, but its true.
 
Too bad - - I bet all those college teams that were interested in Shaka are backing off now.

I think scheduling plays into it, but more from a perception and/or perspective kind of way... it created an inflated sense of success, which then set us up for a steeper fall.... the same exact game results would probably feel a lot different if they were more evenly distributed over the whole season, but instead we feel it like climbing high and then falling off a cliff

Actually, before the recent funk, the schedule looked promising.

We have to play everyone in the CAA, and our toughest games toward the end were at home (only one match up with GMU).

This with the nice addition of a couple early good OOC games, the season could have been a great one.

I see what you mean but to lose 3 straight at home is what it is. Good, not great teams find a way to stop the bleeding and this team isn't good at all and the scheduling didn't play a role in my opinion.

agreed, my point is that the schedule being the way it was gave us the impression that we were better than we were.. not that the scheduling made us fail

Very true.
Still, we should have won at least 2 of the last 4 considering 3 were at home :?
How many home victories in a row did we get to before this funk?

Yeah you're right but it wasn't the record that gave us that idea (maybe the media) but to me it was some games that we shined in that gave us the sense that we could be good (ODU,UCLA,WSU,JMU).
 
reminds me of Capel's last season, both the losses and the things like playing Rozzell over Brandenberg, much like Capel played Harper over Maynor.
