Their guys are much stronger

Of course they are
We are playing with 4 guards on the floor at the same time
Not a good combination - can't guard their bigs with Mussini & Ellison

Villanova does it

Yeah, but their 3rd & 4th guys are better than Mussini and Ellison
And 3 of our 4 guards are 6'1" or less - way too small to guard bigs

 

[firestorm]

Not been a good night for Ellison.

 

[mjmaherjr]

when I read about how much our guys hit the weight room I'm going to remember how much bigger Minny seems to me

 

[mjmaherjr]

let's get a stop here guys

 

[usguard]

Well what we can takr away from this game was we were competitive and made the game close Improvement over last yr

 

[basketballjones]

Lovett is great. Doing it all alone

 

[firestorm]

Dang. Minny doing everything right.

 

[we are sju]

Ellison not the answer.

He is to the question of who can't shoot

 

[MainMan]

Bashir seems to have lost 20 lbs of muscle mass between Binghamton and Minn.

 

[usguard]

That last play was what the problem has been He hold the ball and blows past the defender to score

 

[mjmaherjr]

Still a young team. Glad we made a comeback to get competitive. The staff needs to teach some defense if we are going to win some games come big east time

 

[redmaninalbany]

Home team was a 7 point favorite.
Always amazes me how the oddsmakers get these games so close usually with points

 

[paultzman]

Only one game but;

We don't get stops at critical times
Big talented guards will hurt us
Thus far we have 2 offensive weapons
We have zero interior game

We tend to overreact to wins v lousy teams so let's not get crazy over a road loss. The team is clearly a work in progress & has long way to go. No one should be shocked

made it a game. Not a bad showing for a young team.

Thought Sima showed a little in 2nd half. Ahmed still needs time.

 

[Jack Williams]

glad we made it a game, but i never really thought we were a threat to complete the comeback because of our lack of ability to get a big stop or defensive rebound.

 

[firestorm]

Disappointed with the loss, but not with the progress being made.

The young guards look good. We have things to work on, but have some talent to get it started.

 

[usguard]

if we had a better % on our foul shots could we have won

 

[mjmaherjr]

we covered the spread. Take that Vegas

 

[stuck in conn]

Best defense all night was Mussini's tackle.
