2 fouls and the lead so Rizzuto stayed in the bench.

Thanks. Missed the two fouls. Taylor was on the bench for a while in that half too. No complaints though of the guys on the floor though.

I had forgotten that NJIT had beaten Vermont and UMBC.

[Eli]

Kelly is really really good. 

[UAalum72]

How many times has the announcer called Antonio “Rizzo?”

[Clickclack]

Rizzuto getting a brutal whistle lol...he can't do anything without being called for a foul.

[Eli]

Great job by UA today.

He's been good on offense all season, but he's really been locked in today on d

[Clickclack]

Would like to see Rizzuto here a little to see if he can pick up some rhythm...

Have to disagree with CB.  With 4 min left, the starters should be pulled up 19 pts and a game tomorrow.  You telling me Amica, Healy, Hank, Shaffer, and Hutch can't hold a lead for 4 min.

Maybe not? lol. Down to 10. It's over but still lol.

Sloppy last 4 min or so...good win otherwise. Pretty complite performance.

Played well . They hit the open shot . Doles was outstanding.  However we can't expect 4-4 from 3 tomorrow. 

Hartford is a good team that plays small at times. I don't care if we lose tomorrow but I want them to play well.

Hats off to Zach Cooks from NJIT. Every time I've seen him play he goes all out. 

We scored 76 points today and 71 of those points came from guys in this recruiting class - Horton, Doles, Kelly, Champion and Taylor.

Good observation.  But what does that say about the guys who have been here for a while and are not getting playing time and contributing such as Healy, Hank, Hutch, Shaffer, Anderson.  Rizzuto and even Lulka(mostly his size, cause we are small without him) have helped.  I know we have discussed aud nausium that we want four year guys and avoid too many JUCOs, transfers, and grad students but this athletic group can show promise at times in an offensive style that suits them.

To me it says Rizzuto had a really bad game and Healy has been off since coming back from the injury. I think it also says that was a pretty good recruiting class. Wouldn't have expected that we would have won easily with Rizzuto not scoring.
