Everything is winning!! I didn't know the ladies were that good
until I checked it myself. Great time to be a Seawolf. 2700 is a
good turnout given the circumstances. I expect a packed house
once Vermont comes to town.

Alex Christie - hopefully he is not on on the roster next
season. It should be no problem upgrading at this spot - can’t
waste a scholarship on him.
2,700 - free tickets up to 4 tickets for alumni, which was
sponsored by a car dealership on the Island.
Moor definitely needs to see more playing time!

Sloppy game but a win is a win.
I'm very concerned with our turnovers as conference play goes
on. Especially the "live ball" turnovers.
We defended in the half court very well though and held them to
an extremely low conversion rate. Wasn't all Big Jeff. I love
how Olaniyi can sit in a stance and guard 5'9 guards but also
can body up a 6'7 forward or slide his feet with an electric
wing(Michigan State game). Man he's a stud on that side of the
ball. Jules Moor needs more playing time is a tier below Olaniyi
defensively.
Im happy big Jeff is getting the hang of his foul trouble.
Binghamton started second guessing themselves every drive after
that block in Little Sammy where we ICED the ball screen. Jeff
took a Horrible angle and Sammy just changed directions to
easily get into the lane, he thought he had a lay up (So did I)
and Jeff recovers and swats it. That block there changed how
they attacked. That is the Otchere Jeff Boals envisioned and why
all those Universities wanted him.
How about 29 big minutes from McKenzie. Only turning the ball
over 1 time. Compared to Cornish's 4 TO's in half the amount of
time. I know the forum has been critical of him but I think the
brakes need to be pumped just a little. And I think we all
should appreciate him more.He's a steady hand during the storm
at times. That 50 foot pass to Moor for the dunk is as good of a
pass as you'll see in all levels of basketball. You can't
practice that type of feed any better.
As a person who works with HS, College and Pro players for a
living I learn to appreciate guys like McKenzie a great deal.
Guys like him keep your locker room happy because they give the
rock up to teammates very often, are technically sound and don't
play outside of themselves. McKenzie almost always fakes a
pass,before he makes a pass when he's under pressure. That's
Textbook fundamentals. Some of the High major guys I work with
still can't grasp that concept. When McKenzie plays within
himself and does what he does, I'll take him any day.

Agreed on McKenzie, he's a great ball handler who can take care
of the ball in the face of immense pressure, he has his role on
this team for sure, though I don't think he can be the leader
from the point guard position he needs to be if he wants to
start in that role next year. I'd look to the transfer market
for that next year. The transfer route has worked well for us
heading into this year for sure.
Also, why no Ochefu last night? Figured I'd see him some.

Christie has a ways to go yes, but to be saying this about him
this early? Not sure that's warranted. Get him some more minutes
in the next couple games against bad competition and see if he
plays better.

Christie is young and slow afoot, but what an outstanding move
to his left last night (he is right-handed, I believe). He is
certainly a longer-term project, but remember Petras who was raw
as heck as a freshman, and turned out to be quite serviceable by
his senior year. I think there is definitely some upside to his
game, and he currently provides some nice depth when Otchere and
Chef get into foul trouble.

Yeah agreed. He's a 7 footer playing in the America East. We
knew he was going to be a project. I think the expectation for
all true big men ( I'll say 6' 8" or taller) at this level
should be to hope they can develop into significant contributors
by the time they are juniors.

All great points. Still think McKenzie picks up his dribble way
too early at times, particularly when under pressure. I'd like
to see him keep the dribble alive longer, and pass off the
dribble consistently. He's obviously earning more playing time
with Coach Boals, and quite frankly, I love to see a coach pull
someone off the floor, when they are not doing what they are
supposed to be doing.

It's going to be so much fun to watch Otchere over the next
couple of years. This may be bold, but I'll say it: he's going
to play in the NBA.

Christie is a nice piece and he'd be playing a lot more under
any other circumstances. The lefty jump hooks are legit by him.
He's got a righty hook as well, and can carve out space on the
glass.
No he isn't a rim protector nor can he step out and guard the
perimeter but being that large gives you the ability to deter
penetrators in this league. With further development, he'll be a
load. Not just serviceable but load. Junior and Senior year
Watch out for him.
