Was prone with the ‘Rona and a cup of broth.  Only thing that made me happy was this game. Great effort.

Bingo had 14 turnovers. We had 3. Almost unimaginable.

Every conference game is important, however; losing both games to Binghamton last year, we must get off on the right foot with a win at home on Saturday.  This is a bell weather game for the season and on how much better this team is than last year's team.  Hopefully, Beagle's misstep on the court, late in 2nd half, is nothing and any rehab is minor.

I loved the way the team played in the last 90 seconds. 

There is no doubt that this team will make a statement in the America East this season.  Some of the aspects that I found encouraging:

• Beagle had an off day due to double teaming and foul trouble, others pick up the slack in scoring and rebounding
• We handle the double team better as the game progressed
• Minimized the unforced turn-overs in particular to Binghamton's three or four errant passes
• We never allowed Binghamton to have an extended run without our own run to extended run
• Shooting percentages for all our shots were decent
• We played hard for forty minutes

Looking forward to the next two home games.

+++.  Was going to make the same post [actually official stats had 4 in the first half ONE in the second.] I had 4 total in my un-official score. Regardless, amazing stat total; and turn around for this team from 2023. Beat Bingo by 20 basically without Beagle (1pt total)--his sub Newton 11pts 13 bounds (my unofficial). Got to give credit to the portal and new kids and dare I say it DK and the coaching staff.

ps. Jackson is a beast {IMHO would be power5 like his brother if a little larger} and Reddish is really coming around although still inconsistent @ times. Just to give some props to the retuning guys also.

per TU - Killings thinks Jackson is OK after the ankle and hard fall, doesn't think it's serious; Amica had a hand injury, now a pulled hamstring but "we'll get him back out there pretty soon"

This is the kind of team that will put asses in the seats (eventually).  VERY fun team to watch.

Not gonna lie, I have no clue who will win this conference. This season may have one of the best competitions for the title in a really long time. Vermont isn't gonna cake walk to anything this year.

By next Saturday, we may have a better idea how competitive our team will be in the America East, UMass-Lowell and Bryant this week.  Two wins will give us an edge when we hit the road for Maine, New Hampshire and finally Vermont.
