Looks like he might be done for the season

[ctdanes]

alright close this thing out

[DanesRGood]

Please don't blow this game!

No chance of getting the ball inside at all.  Perimeter shot or nothing.  

[DanesRGood]

I'll take it!  Let them back in but shut the door at the end.  Love seeing de Sousa have a nice game, especially with the bad ankle.

I choose to say something positive. Last year we would not have won this game. Good effort to get a win on the road. 

[ctdanes]

5-2 in conference. Haven't played great but i'd say trending upwards. hopefully the boys get up for uvm at home

[nysteve661]

Don't think we are playing well enough or healthy enough to beat UVM but a decent showing will be a positive.

Well stated, in terms of conference games played vs conference games won, we are ahead of where we were last year with a tough game on Saturday.

UMBC big guys may be more athletic but were brutal at the free throw line - 3 of 9. That hurt them down the stretch.

Tough road win to bounce back after the Hartford loss.

Healy and Ahmad go 2-12 from three and we win on the road. I'll take that. Great to see other guys stepping up, we're a different team when other guys score besides the two big guns.

Love De Sousa posting up. Would love to see more of that.

[ctdanes]

Pretty confident they'll get a home game in the conference tourney. Next games against Hartford and Stony Brook are huge if they want two home games

Headed in February with a home game for a share of the conference lead. I'll take that.

We have no inside presence.  And we are not athletic enough to get constant outside play . Until either of those things happen,  we will be an average team. 

Agree with the first sentence; but only partly with the last two. A healthy Malachi is as athletic as anyone in the league. Clark is probably the BEST point guard in the league, even with his bone head shots and at times tries to do too much. With a healthy backup to give him more REST and less STRESS, I would change probably to absolutely the BEST.  And even as unhealthy as this team has been, IMHO the have been/are way more than average.

I like facts . We ranked in the low 200's out of approximately 360 schools (in every poll) . We are what our recond says we are . I would say thats slightly below average . We are over 20 games into the season. If thats way more then average to u, then thats your opinion. 

We have had injuries. Yes . And we would be better at full strength. Malichi is atheltic but cant really create his own shot off the dribble yet. 

5-2 is good. If we get to 10 wins in the conference,  that would be wonderful.
