There seems to be a lot more parity in the league this year.

UVM is 2-2 with losses to UML and NJIT

SBU is 4-0

UNH is 2-0

UMBC is 3-1 (lost to Bing)

Hartford (2-2) looks strong, but lost twice to NH

UA is 0-2 but only lost both games by a combined total of 6 points. 

Pretty surprising league start.

 

Probably the most surprised by UNH sweeping Hartford. I thought the Hawks were playing pretty well this year.

No offense to SBU but I still think UMBC is the best team in the conference. They were missing Horvath for that Bing loss.

 

I was about to advocate for a Anderson - Horton - Kelly backcourt but the Gazette is saying Horton might not play because of a back issue.

Did I miss any earlier mention of the Amica head injury?

Sorry, my friend for the extra effort to find the article

Ugly Taylor free throws. First time this guy ever took a free throw? Wow.

Tonight’s game also on Spectrum channel 393 if you have the Sports pkg.

I was able to get to the Sports Section by selecting Sports from the headings at top of the page.

Gonna be a long season boys and girls.  Don't shoot the messenger, but we have Div 2 talent.  Bricks from the line, bricks from three, playing no height inside.  Doesn't it seem odd CB is playing mostly the new transfers and grad students.  What does that say about the talent he recruited a few years ago.  Not good enough to beat out new guys after years in the program?  Uggg.

[Eli]

Becker has won 70% of his games, Brown 51%. Becker has done that with worse facilities, etc. 

No excuse for why our brand of basketball is so ugly/not exciting. 

Few years ago, game threads were 9 or 10 pages long. We're lucky to hit 3-4 these days. Program is losing the interest of its fan base. 

Where is Healey tonight?

Healy still hurt. Lulka hurt. Hank not in shape yet. 

Team not rotating quick enough while in the zone leading to wide open 3s. UVM has cooled a little, so it could be way worse.

[Eli]

Lol, this is comically disjointed. If UVM hit their open shots we'd be down by 20+. Individuals trying to do too much. 

Look at how UVM is finding the open man and how we are...sigh...

Horton back to back airballs.

I am nauseated from the offense.  It's embarrassing.
