mbb 2022 Game #12: 12/14/22 - 7PM vs Long Island

[godanesgo99]

I'm still trying to remain positive on the outlook for the team but it keeps getting harder and harder each and every game.

[nysteve661]

All I can say Coach Killings is don't, I repeat, don't, let Beagle enter the transfer portal for the next 3 years.  Do whatever you can to keep this kid like build a solid supporting cast so he can get an AE championship by senior year, he is a talent.

[Clickclack]

hutch is an absolute mess....if there was anyone else on the bench to play he doesn't deserve any playing time. What a horrible outlet pass.

[godanesgo99]

Hutch may be a mess, but he's still the most hustle on the team.

Has Davis lost any spot in the rotation?

[jimbo]

Good close. Good effort by several players. LIU is bad though. Ketner showed some stuff. Actually some assists and good FTs. Who knew?

Who’s the douchenoggle with the Luke Matters T-shirt?

And a nice dunk and a few nice moves underneath. I said his improvement has impressed me in a few games but no one agreed with me. I think he is serviceable as an AE big, just not athletic enough to do much against the bigger, faster, stronger athletes in some of the bigger conferences. 

Trying not to feel too positive after this win, since LIU is terrible, but there were some good things to take from this game.

Beagle continues to be a monster, as someone else said, I hope to see him for at least 2 more years. If he transfers up for his senior year, I'm not sure anyone can blame him in today's college basketball world.

Edmead can be out of control sometimes, but he looked good today. He can play with lower level competition. 

Reddish looked more under control for most of the game, but his head and mouth can be a problem. Another T tonight after a slick move. Someone needs to get in his head and have him prove it before talking. Trash talking is fun, but win something first please.

Drumgoole continues being up and down. Unstoppable for a bit, then disappears. Need consistency.

Hutch is still a ball of energy and hustle. Glad to see one of his open threes finally fall. Hard not to like him. Last two years he was terrible in the OOC, and certain posters said he wasn't D1 material, then he went and played solid ball in conference play. He will be fine.

Nice seeing Jackson get a start after being injured last time on this court. He isn't ready yet, but we don't have many more options. He is going to have to learn the D1 game as he goes.

Say what you want about Patel, but I love watching Juice play. Diving everywhere and just outworking people. He has shown flashes this year but has yet to really put it together. I can see why he was a fan favorite at Cornell.

Not sure what Davis did to piss off the staff, but his minutes keep dropping every game. Maybe DK sees what we saw early with him trying to do much and beat people by himself everytime down the court. Who knows, but the team could use him if he could figure D1 out.

It's sad seeing Amica play as he was supposed to be the next big thing until injuries killed him. It's just him and Hutch left as connections to the WB era.

All in all, this game was two terrible teams fighting to see who was worse. My take away is that we will be fine against the bottom of the AE, and could end up with 4-5 league wins, but I do not see them having much of a chance against Bryant, UML, UVM, or UMBC (which is what I think will be the order of the top 4). They can play with and potentially go above .500 against Bing, NJIT, Maine, and NH. Going 4-4 or 5-3 in those games and maybe stealing 1 game from the top 4.

Did you catch this guy at the game last night?

Nice summary!  I also am trying not to get too excited; but I agree there were some impressive moments yesterday, albeit vs a terrible LI

Wasn’t the only one who noticed 😅. Sat on his hands the whole time. Was waiting to see if he would go up to the cameras during the postgame.

Davis played 6 minutes,  missed a lay-up; a short jumper was blocked the full length of the court, that led to dunk; and with 1.1 seconds on the shot clock passed the ball back behind himself, instead of throwing up something or trying to get fouled? Box score had him 0 for 2 shooting; not sure what the other miss was, unless the blocked shot counted as a miss. He is playing himself out of the rotation. Not sure if he is trying too hard, or just too nervous; but seems totally lost out there??

[jimbo]

Just as an aside…I thought grabbing/hanging on the rim after a dunk was a technical foul unless a player was being undercut. They seem to do it more and more these days and I guess it’s an intimidation or in your face thing.  Beagle could have been Teed up yesterday. It’s one of many things that bother me about modern basketball along with the dribbling nonsense that we used to call “coming over” or “carrying” plus firing off a #@$&@ing 3 without even trying to set up a play or go through a rotation or two.

That's pretty funny, not gonna lie.
