Gentlemen, we are looking at a very exciting BE schedule. I think that we will win a bunch and make the dance.

 

[Demo]

Well, that was fun! Eager to see what else we get from RJ and Dunlap.

Need to put in play set for Dunlap NOW!

 

[Boo Harvey]

If only Dingle could score we would be so more balanced. A tad disappointing.

More balanced? Six guys in double figures.

When they showed those next five games, I was not intimidated at all.

Really good win against a team that has been playing very well. Brady played great! RJ has flashes of brilliance but also some head scratching moments. Joel was Joel, which is very good. Ledlum Really played perhaps his best game for me because he played under control. Alleyne locked down on defense, made some timely shots and just seems to know how to play the game. All in all, I'm happy tonight, and, it's good to be back after a holiday hiatus from the site

The Carnesecca Arena mystique lives on.
Kudos to Pace for being only team this year to leave there with a W.

Pitino sending Cragg to figure out how to get out of the rest of this season's MSG and UBS contracts for cheap

 

[vegasman2000]

Smaller role suits him much better.

That's it in a nutshell. Good role player, stretched as a starter. He worked out a lot better than Dingle so far

 

[Moose]

It has to be higher than 80% to be a tournament team. Period!

Try again. Look at college basketball. Your numbers are unrealistic.

 

[vegasman2000]

Nice win start to finish. Lots of balance and contributions across the board. On to Nova!!

We have not had a team like this one in a long time. Well rounded and balanced. CRP has the arrow in the right direction.

As Hannibal Smith said "I love it when a plan comes together."

Matta in Uber crossing GW Bridge

Yeah those 2 T's was him sending a message to his team about UCONN coming to Indy next. Wants them to wipe this away. Butler is pretty good, man I hope they don't regret not getting the Providence game they should have won that one

BTW-People on Twitter/X are so funny speculating about Dunlap not playing vs Hofstra must be in the doghouse.

The guy on the sidelines for 40+ years knows what he is doing. He once said, "You get 13 scholarships, it's good to use them...." Of course he somehow got 14 this year...ssshhhh

But he still finding lineups that work.

Just the UConn game.

Boo, I swear you have a raincloud permanently above your head.

 

[Marillac2]

Goddamn Luis looks good. He had some REALLY poor shot choices, but his ceiling is absolutely nuts. We need him to create for others.

Did he have a growth spurt? He looks way bigger than he did at UMass.

 

[vegasman2000]

Amazing to think where this team was against Boston College and Fordham (I still don’t think we played well at all that game) in December.

Team looks completely different on defense, effort is no longer a question for the whole 40 minutes, and the chemistry on offense is clearly evident.

Scary part is, we did this without our best defender of the year. If Dunlap provides even half of this production, Luis continues to adjust/mesh with teammates…we are a long team with a lot of potential.

I was thinking "I would sure love to have that Michigan game back"

 

[mjmaherjr]

I must say this in game thread is just as entertaining as our team is.

This will be a 40+ pager easy

I think ledlum is a solid starter and third or fourth option as a scorer. He’s a really good rebounder and makes Soriano better

Good to see for a win thread.

I’d like to see us play Dayton again too! Whatever, water under the bridge. Games were learning experiences and it appears we are growing which is all that matters

 

[Sherman Sheridan & Grant]

We let a hand full of 4-5 point leads shrink back to zero during that half but that is college basketball. A few too many missed loose ball opportunities. Dunlap must have had a great week in practice. That or Taylor and Nahiem had that bad of ones..

Uh

and likely lose our fair share
Just garner enough Ws to
Make the tournament likely
which I believe we will
