I can't seem to get back into the article that 1st mentioned the quotes from CB about Doherty but he also did say that it was a personal family matter. Hope it's not a serious illness of a family member for example but that could explain why the young man needs to focus on other things than basketball.
I agree, nysteve, and sincerely hope it’s not a family member or personal illness. Here’s a link to the article by Pete D., in the TU — Will’s quote is right at the end of the article.

Not sure but why is he no longer on roster? Leave of absence wouldnt constitute removal from team. May be just speculation but based on his high school accolades and recruitment, riding the oine behind hank, lulka and hansen probably doesnt sit well with him. I assumed he left school based on obvious removal from roster.
However, Will said it had nothing to do with academics, nor nothing to do with basketball, that it was a personal matter. (??)

Nothing like playing against UML to get the offense clicking.
Congrats to Can Healy for breaking the program single game scoring record.
Cograts to Fruscio for a nice move. He took a charge (but called for the foul) and probably should have had an and 1
Nice to see Schafer on the floor
Hope deSousa isn't out for long.
“The Frusc” mic-d up... 🙂...

In Michael Kelly’s article in the Gazette — CB says that Yale will be ... “the best team that will step foot in this gym all year long.”

Any attendance announcement? Doesn’t look like much.
1660 — somewhat disappointing — I thought we’d have at least 2000.

Halftime speech, or yelling, seemed to have helped the boys, although Americans offense has not been the same as 1st half. Our D did improve. Now close it out!
I think the “Frusc” chewed them out at halftime, LOL.

Nichols crushing it for FSU, leading all scorers with 14 so far vs UVA. Cremo been bench riding a lot lately for Nova.
Dave is having himself an awesome game — leading scorer, at the moment, for the Seminoles with 14 pts.

The TU lists the attendance at 3,891. That improvement in spectators and a win will hopefully strengthen the team.
In the Gazette article, Kelly said it was a “sell out.” That must be the capacity with the one set of bleachers now closed.

Overly irrational? I disagree. Clark is only interested in 'getting his'. That's evident by his A/T ratio (1.16) and his atrocious 40% FG percentage. For a guy who 'attacks relentlessly' his % should be much higher due to presumably higher percentage shots. He's too stubborn to dish it out to the open guy when defenses collapse and instead turns the ball over a TON in the paint as he gets blocked, etc. His A/T ratio should be 2:1 based on the fact that he should be dishing the ball out to the open guy or cutting guy when defenses collapse on him.
I'm done with him...hope Brown walks him at the end of the year. Just another me, me, me player. Can we get more Hooleys and less Nichols' up in here?IMHO, late in the game,, I think they played much better “team” ball when Miller was at the point. There was one play in particular in today’s game—at about the 8:40 mark in the second half—where Rizzuto (I believe it was him) was wide open off to Clark’s side and calling for the ball as the shot clock was ticking down. Instead of passing, Clark kept dribbling and heaved up a last second desperation shot that didn’t even hit the rim.

The best true freshman I've ever seen at UA was Wheeler Baker...I started following in Jamar's junior year.
I’ll never forget the dunk he made, where he took off from near the free throw line and floated to the hoop for the slam!

Not sure I've seen SEFCU this empty since the CIT game a few years ago.
Really the department should be going to every school and youth basketball program locally and giving out free tickets to every local player. Give them enough for their parents too. Seat them in the student section. Get more people here and make a few bucks with parking. Maybe get some new fans. Give away 5000 tickets, but only the first 1500 get in free. Or something like that. While the students are out of town it's a no brainer.
Completely agree — Marketing 101!

Prepares us for the next game. UW-Milwaukee had 2100 for their “homecoming” and 895 vs LIU in an arena that seats 10,700
Siena drew 4908 tonight, for their home opener at the TUC, against Lehigh.

Funny quote by Will Brown, from Michael Kelly’s (Gazette) Twitter page...
Brown on Healy, who had 22 tonight: “He’s just out there, smiling. He gets beat for a backdoor layup, he smiles. He turns it over, he smiles. He hits two 3s in a row, he smiles. I pat him on the back, I yell at him — he smiles. He’s just a free spirit out there, having fun.”
