i thought latimer had a great second half. again i like the
chef coming off the bench to add some physicality in the paint.
big night for garcia too- again, when we lose our calm, he
penetrates and hits a layup.
ola got his what fourth consecutive double-double, again with
like 8min to spare.
btw the first five minutes of the game they worked us, thought
it was going the other way. a well managed game, well done
boys! and ford too- he's been a really nice surprise this year.

Good solid win at home. Crowd could have been a bit larger, but
crappy weather kept some home I'm sure.
Great game for Elijah - seeing him in person really allows you
to see how he's developed into a great inside/outside presence,
and he's so much stronger than last year, IMO. Congrats on the
1,000 point club to him!
Garcia was magnifico! Probably his best game of the year.
Another inside/outside guy, who had it all working tonight.
Kudos to Mac, who played valuable minutes tonight, with 4man
getting into unusual foul trouble. He played very steady, and
kept us in the game when 4man went down with 4 fouls.
Mo has a nice stat line tonight too. Latimer with solid 2nd
half.
The problem I see (2nd game in a row now) is the FT's. 50% just
doesn't cut it. Need to work on that.
Although Clarke has a quick first step, not impressed with his
overall game. Needs to shoot a ton to get his points. I think
Healy is a much better player. Desousa was totally invisible -
not sure what happened to him; he was so good against us last
year.

One of our better shooting nights and an off night for UA.
They'll be ready for us up at their place. I will say that it
felt like they lacked some offensive punch. Clark ended up with
21 but still doesn't feel like a reliable #1 option. They need
him though. He and Healy are really it. They had 26 points in
the paint, but it wasn't because of any real inside presence.
I think we often overlook Latimer because of what Olaniyi,
Foreman, Garcia and the big guys do. His offensive numbers are
down, but he's developed into a really strong on-ball defender.
He was a pest tonight on Clark even if he had a game-high 21.
Eleven assists isn't a lot, but I did like the back cuts that
led to some easy baskets. A few times the UA defender
overcommitted on an anticipated handoff up top, and instead our
guy dove toward the hoop and we did well getting it to him,
whoever it was.
Retroactive kudos to TPP, who's gotten a few DNPs of late, but
it shines a light on the important minutes he played in the
first two months.
Friendly reminder: Policelli will be in the rotation next year.
Yet another shooter.

this is no surprise- we only attempted 16 threes; beat our arch
rival by 8 (was up 13 with 2min left).
we normally take ~26/game. look at our "decent" wins this year-
NDST (21), manhattan (20), american (17), albany (16) [at VT we
took 27]. heck look at our "good losses", UVa (21), yale (23).
now look at the losses that we arguably couldve won. SHU (25),
delaware (33), providence (31), hartford (30).
maybe 4man getting into foul trouble was a blessing? instead of
9 he attempted 5. the four games leading up to that? forty
four attempts.
and i say that with the understanding that not all threes are
equal. and that his % is solid.
why not do the data analytics. everyone else is.

CoB, I really thought Albany was really challenging us around
the arc all night, and that is why we had “so few” 3 attempts.
It seemed like Makale just couldn’t get free for the 3, when he
was on the floor. I thought Elijah and Garcia did an awesome job
going to the hole, to counter their perimeter D, and I too,
would like to see more of a 2/3 mix.

Seemed as if Garcia was automatic whenever he drove to the rim.
Didn’t realize he had 20 pts until the end! I wonder if the
de-emphasizing of the 3 last night had to do with the shooting
performance at Hartford.

Its the old saying live by the 3 die by the 3 . We cant always
rely on the 3 ball being there and good inside shooting is still
the best way to score. See what happens Wednesday against
Binghamton .
