Long Beach State Sports : “I’m excited by what we are building”??????

GTFO. You’re in over your head and it shows. ZERO and I mean ZERO cohesion or semblance of an identity on either end of the floor.

Some guys are born and bread to be assistants at this level and right now feeding anyone a line of “you’re excited” should show you can’t read the room.

I’m nearly out. There’s losing and showing promise/competence and merely lacking talent or first year woes. And then there’s this display.

"Devin Askew was a bright spot for Long Beach Saturday just as he has been all season. He had a game-high 25 points and was 5-of-10 from 3-point range. It was the eleventh time this season Askew scored over 20 points and the second time he made five 3-pointers.
“I just love the fact that he’s figuring out how to play amidst the double teams and he’s also finding ways to get
others involved,” Long Beach State coach Chris Acker said
of Askew. “The fact that he’s still facilitating and getting others involved is the most impressive thing.”
Acker’s is wrapping up his first season as the head coach
at Long Beach after being an assistant at San Diego State the last five seasons.
LBSU has struggled mightily this season, but the team has been competitive in losses this season. Long Beach has lost four of its last nine games by two points or
fewer and has had three overtime losses during its losing streak."
“I’m excited about what we are building and what we
are establishing,” Acker said. “If we can be in one or two
point games, I know that we have a chance to win these games if we get more reps under our belt and get more
comfortable with what we are trying to do.”

"UCI remains one game behind UC San Diego (26-4,
16-2) atop the Big West standings with two games remaining for both teams.
The Anteaters are two games ahead of third place Cal
State Northridge (21-8, 13-5) but own the tiebreaker over CSUN.

Long Beach (7-23, 3-15) was coming off a crushing buzzer-beater loss in overtime to Cal State Bakersfield on Thursday and has lost 13 consecutive games. LBSU will not qualify for the eight-team conference tournament and will be absent from the event for the first time since 2004. Long Beach won the tournament last season and is the first team to win the tournament and fail to qualify for the event the following season."
