good effort tonight- PC was the better team. was it me or did
they hit 100% of the FTs in the last few minutes??? pipkins was
10/10!
PC is good. they play a tough schedule, they grab lots of
O-boards, hit FTs. their press worked. and we got into
moderate foul trouble.
ill repeat what i recently wrote- garcia is the calming presence
on this team. he might be our MVP or at least unsung hero. we
need him to initiate more, i think.

Pipkins certainly helped ice the game for sure. PC is very
athletic. Our high TO total hurt us, but love the way we fought
to the end. I think Elijah, Garcia, and Foreman (aka 4man) are
our top 3 guns. Elijah has really improved his shooting over
last year, but still takes a few out-of-rhythm 3's that make you
cringe. Foreman has had 2 bad shooting nights in a row,
including a couple of bad 3's tonight. IMO, I give any of them
the green light on shooting 3's, but they need to be a bit more
prudent on choice of shots at times. Also, 33% shooting from 3
is equivalent to 50% from 2, and we shot 35.5% from 3 tonight,
so as a team we did pretty good. Garcia is a complete player -
really good on the inside, good rebounder, good defender, and
all-around junk yard dog. He has a propensity to get into foul
trouble though, largely due to his intense play. He continues
to get better, and is definitely a leader on this team.

I can't help being super impressed and proud of the Seawolves'
gutsy display of resilience and relentlessness over these last
two games. They never give up, and they should be applauded for
it!!
That said, the goal is winning, and I'm convinced they were only
two or three turnovers away from doing so in both the Hofstra
and Providence games. Inability to deal with the press and the
tendancy to get sped up by the other team are clearly the main
reasons for the huge number of turnovers recently and must be
controlled. I hope Coach and his staff drill, drill and drill
some more over the coming weeks to correct those shortcomings.
If they are successful at doing that, I believe the sky's the
limit for this team. Ya gotta love 'em!!

Missed this one also – just too much going on.
Pretty good that we stayed with a team that was behind only
Seton Hall, Villanova and Xavier in the Big East preseason poll.

Yup, totally agree!! Clean up the turnovers and this team has
huge potential.
