It was disappointing the Colonials lost both games to UIC. However, it is not that surprising considering the Colonials were coming off another extended COVID pause. Looking at the box scores from those games it's easy to see why they lost. RMU shot a dismal combined total 3-27 from three point range. Specifically, RMU's two veteran guards, Jon and Dante, combined for 1-16 three point shooting, and scored zero points in the first game, and combined for just 10 points in the second game. I have total confidence in Jon and Dante, despite these past two games. This team has got to find some scorers to go along with AJ. I really like the freshman on the team, they all look to have bright futures, but they are freshman, and that usually means there is a lack of consistency. Enoch, who has started some games, did not play this weekend, I am not even sure if he was on the bench. Does anyone know his status? Hopefully, the Colonials can stay out of COVID jail, stay on their regular schedule of practices, not miss any more games, develop some consistency and make outside shots. Go Colonials!
