Are we better now ???

[Oldtimer]

Back to the original Canisius question---it can't be answered easily.  The Griffins were coming off a difficult game and were very FLAT  i.e. Terrible;  which made us look pretty good.

With all the line-up changes, it is still a work in progress---wish Vermont wasn't our first game.

Serious question .

Take our hearts out of it, and the fact that we r young and answer this question . 

Are we better now than the Canisius game ? 

I chose that game because it was at the beginning of the year and a win . Whether you say yes or no, give examples.  I know what I think,  I'm just curious what you think. 

No, the team is playing at the same level.  There has been four games where the team played well to win plus the loss to Iona.  Belfast was loss trip.  I wish Will feel more comfortable using more players, using seven players is not going to help the team long term.

Another good article. Brown seems to think the team will come together THIS year.

Excited to see what Flory brings and how it affects the rotations.

Well sure he'd be excited. We've already shown we could win the MAAC.

Yes, I believe the team can come together.  Early conference wins can lead lead to a positive attitude, losses will leave the team and coaches looking at each other for the explanation.

If we can continue to get 60 points from our backcourt we will be alright. haha.

I wonder what clicked in Rizzuto's head that made his go off the last two game? He really looked lost for a while there and then all of a sudden 20+ two games in a row.  Maybe he just needed that one breakout game to gain confidence that he can play at this level.  

I'm just glad we are showing something. If you look at my posts in this thread and others, I really feel like they have a very good core that will be very good. I think the three aussies, Rizzuto, De Sousa are the core 5. I feel good about them competing to be middle or above middle of the AE next year and then, if they can keep the core together and add some more pieces, competing for a championship their junior and senior years. Hopefully next year Lauderdale and French will be able to help some more next season.

If Rizzuto can always shoot 3's like this, I am stoked to have him and Healy for 3 more years to cover our 3 pt shooting.  Might be like having Jon and Jacob Iati at the same time for 3 years.

Something clicked for rizzuto... He's attacking... Shooting d'ing up like a madman. Love his game.
