Most people find baseball boring, couple that with the budget it requires and that's why its gone, same reason lacrosse is gone..................
@ VMI (Jan. 22nd)
Shouldn't be this bad. Squarely on the coaching staff.

It was there in November and December when we went 12-1 with some good wins, now in January its gone and the team is MIA, not sure Richey knows how to fix this season right now..............
At least big schools won't have Richey as high on their list this off season lol
in the postgame... "Probably should have played hughey"

A low light of the season. Very painful to watch our defense when VMI would drive from coast to coast.
Something happened to this squad after the break. I know conference play is tougher but.....
Clearly we screwed up big time in the off season by not getting another veteran guard...................
And yeah the Kent St. kid not qualifying academically is our fault, we should have known that before we wasted time on him...................

disgusting... defense has completely fallen apart,
How would we not have known? A coach can look at a transcript, right?
Recruiting was supposed to have been BR's strong suit. This year and last were all BR's kids (since MB and JS were recruited under Medved), not much to show for it.
Not sure but it was a huge mistake for us to not sign another veteran guard, now we are forced to play someone like Bronson who is clearly just not ready, really dumb...............
Bothwell and Slawson where recruited by Bob Richey, and they were Freshman his second season as head coach.......
VMI SCORING VS. SOCON
69 vs. ETSU
67 vs. MERCER
68 vs. SAMFORD
66 vs. UTC
66 vs. WCU
75 vs. CITADEL
91 vs. FURMAN by far their most points of the year in all D1 games. Previous high was 80 vs. CSU.
Haven’t played much defense since WCU.

We had 14 more shots and 16 more rebounds and got our doors blown off against a poor team. Terrible defense and incredibly poor shooting killed us again. We have two shooters and when they’re off, we’re toast. We lose those two players next year and get five new freshman. It’s gonna be awhile…
