Yeah Fordham has no answer for it so far. Even half-court ball pressure seems to be flustering them. Gray has been great on D.

pretty good view from the front row (non-VIP) across from our bench and they look great after a shaky first couple of minutes. once they settled in Fordham couldn't do anything at either end.

Rose Hill is worth every penny for a ticket.

Fordham's going to be shooting free throws for 15 minutes.

Quote from: Jordan 04Fordham's going to be shooting free throws for 15 minutes.

and for all the tight calls they've been getting they've taken 5 points of the lead in 8+ minutes

Wow the refs are slowing this one down

Jordan 04 · November 11, 2023, 02:47:45 PM

A lot of play-ons from the first half being called as fouls this half. Both ways.

Refs taking over in the 2nd half. Impressive run from them

This is extremely disappointing.

Mr. Niss · November 11, 2023, 03:02:48 PM

Someone needs to explain Guy Ragland to me.

Jordan 04 · November 11, 2023, 03:14:38 PM

When they practice the press, is the other side not practicing how to break it? They've looked lost the entire half.

Mr. Niss · November 11, 2023, 03:19:06 PM

Even if they hold on, having a 27-point lead and then little but fouls, turnovers, giving up offensive rebounds, and missed free throws is really really ... bad.

PHEW,

Jordan 04 · November 11, 2023, 03:24:49 PM

Whew.

Great win overall, fordham is a good team. Gotta work on free throws and closing out games but I'll take that result any day.

Mr. Niss · November 11, 2023, 03:27:58 PM

Now that we can breathe more easily and my nerves have relented ... extremely proud of this team and this coaching staff to beat a solid A-10 team in their gym. I wish they'd learn to play with a lead better, as that was a problem at times last year as well. But you can't ignore opening up a 27-point lead and hanging on after a good team threw everything it could at you.

Part of the problem is that Chris Manon cannot stay out of foul trouble. I know the coaching staff has tried to work on this issue with him. He's their best defender and they need him on the floor late in games like this one.
