Crutcher had a fine effort and looks like a magnificent scoring guard not necessarily a point guard who distributes the ball to team mates and runs a half court offense. Darrell Davis is having a great year but he gets guarded against the better teams as does JC. There is absolutely no defensive know how in the man structure. No "D" played with the feet all hands.
Zone is the only viable option and they cannot rebound out of the zone. What is the hope for the future? In a word....transfers.

I assume you mean quit last night, but maybe not by your title. The team did not quit on the 9 games they won and many they lost, like Miss St, ODU, Auburn and St Mary's. Don't confuse lack of talent and inexperience with lack of effort. This team came off of one of the best efforts we have seen in the VCU game. So like a bunch of inexperienced players they thought they could get by on talent. At this point we only have two talented players, and the rest are nothing without effort.
Did they quit last night? Heck they barely started. It reminded me of the low scoring game we lost at
Fordham under Archie.
