like an easy win, but we wilted just like uvm did to us with
their 5 point lead. Bad loss, given our 2nd half comeback, just
to give it back to them. Too much jinxing press this week, must
have gotten to us.

I know it's easy to just blame the positive press, but that
doesn't have anything to do with Geno's decision to stop a
lineup that held Hartford off the board for 7 minutes. It
doesn't have anything to do with Gueye bricking a three or
McKenzie's layup juuuust falling out. Idk, seems like an easy
copout.

If we and UVM hold serve on Saturday, we'll have a four-way tie
for first at the quarter pole. We'll have faced the toughest
road to that point – at UVM, at Hartford and home to Albany. UA
needed OT to win in Durham tonight.
Then look at the next six for us – Bingo twice, Lowell twice,
UMBC and UNH. No excuse not to take at least a five-game winning
streak into our rematch with Vermont here.
Green, re: Mac, when Garcia went out, I thought we'd go TPP, TSM
or Ochefu there and was surprised to see Mac come out. I thought
we had enough ball handling on the floor with Foreman, Olaniyi
and Latimer and, with Ochefu, would have preferred size to get
on the offensive and defensive glass.
I really think we thought they'd go away when we were up six,
but they knocked down one or two massive threes, and Ellison
came alive a bit. Not terribly impressed with him BTW.

Watched the end of the UA game in OT. Stole the Game with a late
steal/layup in backcourt.
You’re right; Michael Dunne is Jason’s Younger brother. Jadon
graduated last year.
Long way to go in season. League is strong enough where I think
it’ll take 13-3 to finish first.

This has been bothering me all season but this was the first
time it played a role in the final score. The free throws have
got to get better. They left 10 points on the table tonight
because of them and it honestly played a role in how their lead
still wasn't big enough in the 2nd half. I'd never call Olaniyi
"automatic", but he was clutch at the line late (10-12 overall).
But literally everyone who was fouled today missed a free throw.
Last year you had Yeboah who was super reliable.

I really enjoy watching this team but I can't help but wonder
why we don't start and play our bigs more.
Whats wrong with getting Ochefu in the rotation? We should have
put him in tonight I thought he played really well against
Vermont.
I liked the big starting lineup of
Otchere
Gueye
Garcia
Olaniyi
Foreman
Latimer has a high motor bringing him off the bench can spark
us.
Follow it up with Ochefu and the 2 freshman guards. McKenzie has
had been given way to many minutes for a guard who cannot shoot
or create any offense with his passes.

I agree with this all the way. I was pretty surprised when I saw
McKenzie getting the crucial minutes he was getting towards the
end there. Then Ochefu.... he plays well when he's in, but you
so seldom see him he might as well not be on the roster.

Ochefu’s a valuable depth piece when Mo or Big Jeff get into
foul trouble. That hook shot against Vermont was amazing. With
how well Jeff and Mo were doing tonight he wasn’t really needed
but securing the boards late were really important and Ellison
beat us there. Would have liked to see Ochefu in for size alone.

McKenzie brutal. Did you see that basket attempt at the one
minute mark, late in the fourth quarter? He looked more like a
ballet dancer instead of a BB player. He is best suited as the
bench cheerleader. Poor guy never did improve from his first
year at SB.
