Well, it was fun being semi-relevant for a week and a half. Now
back to reality. Everything is still in front of this team. Just
need to execute.

What was up with Boal's rotation last night? I know we are deep
but... he played his two most effective players, Yeboah (20
pts.) and Olaniyi (19 points) only 26 minutes each. There was no
issue with fouls and both were playing well. Clearly HC had
great trouble stopping those two. 3rd highest scorer for SBU
had just 8 points.
(By contrast, HC's leading scorers played 39 and 36 minutes
each)
Otchere did a nice job staying out of foul trouble, blocking
shots, and rebounding -- had his hands full battling HC's one
good inside player (Floyd)

I do agree, unless he was worried about playing back-to-back
days (although a win would have given them Sat off). At one
crucial point when I believe we were down by 12 in the 2nd half,
we had Moor, Long, McKenzie, Garcia, and ? (forget the 5th),
which was clearly not our best offensive unit out there. I did
think that wasn't the best mix out there, given the deficit.

The other question I have re: the rotation is why Coach B.
continues to play Christie in front of Ochefu. I thought the
latter has showed great play in the first two games, but hardly
played at all last night. Christie has not shown much to date,
and clearly needs more seasoning.
Holy Cross was clearly the superior team last night. Aside from
the specific stats, which were certainly impressive, I thought
their ball movement/passing was truly outstanding. Their inside
game was also outstanding. Was this a one-off dor them, or are
they truly that good?
