UA vs. Bucknell

[danes05]

Brett Gifford's mom told me, after the VT game, that he knows there are things he needs to do to be good at this level.

 

Giff-- Followed through.

 

Completely different player...lovin it.

 

I really like the way Giff is playing. Seems like a big improvement on his frosh year(not to say he didn't have some real nice moments last year)

[Dane96]

agreed

 

 

That being said, I told Lillis' mom and dad how much I loved the kid...not just for hoops...but because of the way he (and the others) conduct themselves.

 

If Lillis keeps this up...I may have to get Haggy to make some shirts up....

I agree. I hate to bitch about the refs but this is just awful.

[GreatDanes06]

still in shock Brent has 0 pts from the field

[GreatDanes06]

18-4 in FT opportunities...hmmm

[GreatDanes06]

COME ON!!!!! YOU DON'T CALL THE CHARGE WHEN BRENT GETS SLAMMED TO THE GROUND AND THEN YOU CALL THAT!!!???

[GreatDanes06]

think the big difference was Brent Wilson

Well it suxs we lost but there were a lot of positives from this game. Lillis can step up and be a scorer, Gifford has improved a lot; Iati could be a strong second option. Martin could evolve into somthing special.

 

Wilson and Connelly needs to step up in the next game. Suxs but as Brown said "its an OOC game." Not the start you want but it wasn't terrible we were leading with less than 2 minutes to go. Lets see how the team plays on Wednesday.

[Dane96]

Tough loss...but I am not worried.

[GreatDanes06]

fully expect this team to be 4-1 going into the Siena game

[Clickclack]

Brent having a very very poor game was the difference. Tough place to play but we need more from a seasoned veteran like Brent.

 

Regardless....in encouraged by what I saw/heard. Very difficult place to play...we held our composure after a rough start and then again being down by nine. We will learn from this game, this is how growth happens in these kinds of adverse situations. Certainly nothing to hang our head about.

[Clickclack]

Great point about Gif....he should have a very nice season. Also loved the poise of Martin, running the point for long stretches in a very difficult place to play.

[LETS GO DANES!]

Tough Loss but I was impressed we kept it close and hung on and grinded it out....I think thats a good sign of things to come

[GreatDanes06]

lets not forget...this is Bucknell. A very good mid-major school (very well known). I am not going to blame the refs, but they did not let these two teams play in the end. At the same time, some calls went in Bucknell's favor. But I am not going to blame the refs for the loss. Strong game. Remember, this is the 1st game situation this team has played. Like Coach B said, we hurt ourselves, but it is something that can be fixed.
