Some thoughts:

1. Never realized how annoying Fordham fans were. They were rowdy, walked around with chip on their shoulder, and were chirping at our fans even down 10+ all game basically. My wife was not happy the Fordham fans kept mocking the weight of our cheerleaders & pointed out they should try finding a mirror 🤣

2. Felt like this gane should have been put away much earlier. Even though we had decent lead all game, Fordham fans were just waiting for their run so they could explode. Should’ve been up 20+ most of game instead of 10-12. They still felt they were hanging around at that point.

3. Don’t really get the sub patterns in these games. We cannot have Drissa, Conway, etc. in for that long in Big East. Our defense was a bit better but Fordham missed lots of shots other teams will make. Too much standing on offense too. Stagnant at times. Also, heard a guy on the Babylon line checking his phone say “The guys on Redmen are not happy after the win” which made me laugh. All in all, decent game but we have a lot to improve. On to BE play.

Fordham has always been full of jerky snobs.
I think the sub patterns will change come BE games. We will then have players with some experience to use when fouls or tiredness present.

Their fans started to get very loud when they came within 8 points. Luckily that was short lived.

I did not realize how animated their coach was. He almost provided more entertainment than actual game.

Not really. Ran into him years ago in an upper east side bar and we got into Mets/Yanks talk. Imagine your most obnoxious, snobby, elitist Yanks fan friend - he was worse lol.

Funny how interactions can be so different. A family friend of mine was close with Kay for years. And to a person everyone loved the guy. Said he was down to earth and just genuine to hang with. And these aren’t Yankee fans either.

Mike Zaun has gone from Medium Tee Shirt to at least Extra Large and is now married. If this doesn't tell the rest of us that we are old bastards I don't know what does. Even Jack Williams has to feel old

His ceiling is exponentially higher than Traore’s IMO.

I think redshirting him this year is the right move.

Of course winning is paramount. But the “culture” needed to be changed as well. Traore and Ayo are important for that reason. The inmates were running the asylum under the last regime. That is certainly no longer the case.

God Bless Rick Pitino!🔴⚪️

First 24 minutes is Frank and I recapping the Fordham win...I was happy with the response and never letting the game get in question. Frank still has questions about the defense. We both wanna know why the heck Alleyne isn't playing more and the shake up by Pitino with Conway worked...29 pts off the bench compared to 13 the previous game...could we see that again on Wednesday and moving forward? Take a listen (then the fellas from the Red Storm Rapid Reaction podcast hop on and we give our thoughts on the first 10 games and plenty more)
