Jared Grasso may be gone, but his spirit remains in his players.
These guys are the loudest mouths we've faced in a while.

Good win easy for offense to look good when threes are falling.
Really good effort from a lot of guys.

it's Bryant, but it still feels like a big win. I'm not above
the transitive property – "they beat FAU, we beat them, we can
compete with FAU." It just feels great to enter a real battle
and prevail. I was skeptical.
Things get a lot easier when you knock down shots. We hit the
most threes against a D-I opponent in our history. Pretty
awesome. Great night for TSM and Frey.
It's not often you win a game while getting outscored by 18 in
the paint (26-8). Nevertheless, Fitz was just awesome. I love
his "stage presence" ... always getting the crowd fired up.
Pet peeve: When there's 1:40 showing on the clock, that's "a
minute 40 or "a minute and 40 seconds", not 100 seconds. When
there's 1:30 remaining, that's "a minute and a half remaining,"
not 90 seconds. Of everyone in the world, only broadcasters say
90 seconds, and it's trying too hard.
Another tough one coming on Wednesday.

You have to thank Bryant for leaving us so unguarded during that
run. I think there was no one near Frey for one of his, and TSM
was wide open in transition for one too.
Love Fitz's energy and his effort in hyping up the crowd so
much. I'll always look back fondly on his time here just for his
leadership role that shines through in doing little things like
that.
I thought that this was the homestand game we'd lose, not
Wagner, so to get it done in double digits is very satisfying.

As Pav pointed out, no reason why Maidoh and Fitz are hanging
around the arc. We should be pounding inside.

i noticed that too over the past few games. i think in the
first few seconds of the possession, its fine to have the bigs
set picks at the top. but after that- youre setting yourself up
for failure- meaning, no real chance at an offensive rebound,
and lower % perimeter shooters handling the ball.

also- i thought we passed the ball well last night, and often.
17 assists, should be our target. it opened up the floor.
yes, more fitz please. after setting picks he sinks inside,
which is bball 101 of course. pick & roll shouldnt be news to
anyone.
btw withers had that technical (taunting) coming to him all
game. that ended up being the key moment- bryant was up with
7min left and then entire contest turned.

Well deserved CAA Rookie of the Week accolades for Frey. It'll
be tougher sledding going forward, but we're on to something
with him for sure.
