We miss IW very badly. Canisus will rip us apart on Sunday if we play like this.

That was a horrible game and we got very lucky. Escaped to live another day. We were a dumb, careless team with no bench. We got the calls from the refs. Yes IW is very important but other than our big 3, the rest ranged from a little below average to awful.

Can't remember a time our D looked that bad. We just made a terrible team look decent. So many bonehead plays, I lost count. Ibn turns the ball over too much in traffic, too many Laury jumpshots, AJ lax on D, Hines gets boxed out by guards a foot smaller.
That was a gift of epic proportions. I've called IW the leader since the summer....but c'mon.

Overall at the end we played like a weak willed team. Missing bunnies, coughing up the ball, giving up open shots right and left, failure to rotate and no hustle.

Cluess didn't exactly shine tonight either. Couldn't even get 5 players on the court for a critical inbound play at the end. Overall that game was a dumpster fire. I hope we got that out of our systems. We sure got lucky with the win.

That should have been a technical on us for only 4 players on the floor and then a gift foul call. Yes we deserved to lose but AJ did make 2 clutch free throws and a big under 1 minute basket. The play the last 8 seconds was typical horrible Cluess tafter timeout play. Only good play ever was Amayo running length of the court, we should do that every time. We are not a good team without IW, you saw that last year and I'm afraid we are going to see that again until he returns. Just enough losses to keep everyone in it. We need to get Sed more looks while IW is out. Must pray IW injury is minor or it's the CIT for us.

I got bad flashbacks to the BYU game while watching this game.

It was a gift that the Niagara player toppled over, but make no mistake, the foul call was correct and NOT a gift in that regard. And AJ, who's been shaky at times, still had to make the FTs.
Awful last 3-4 minutes and meh second half on the whole, but it's the road in league play. It happens. We lose this game in most Cluess years. Good sign when you look at it that way.
RPI dipped a little. Have to wait to later/tomorrow to see how far the Pomeroy fall is.

A game like this make me appreciate not only IW's shooting and D, but the fact that his basketball IQ is off the charts high.

Yikes that was horrible. Glad to see Amayo being aggressive and trying to make a play but fouling a guy at half court up 4 with 38 seconds left ain't smart. Can AJ close out a little quicker on Snowden with 8 seconds left instead of giving him an open look in the corner for a 3? That most definitely was a foul at the end. If this was soccer the Niagara player would've gotten a straight red card. Bottom line is if Cluess stays calm down the stretch, the guys will stay calm. I'd rest IW until he's healthy. RPI wise this was the game we absolutely had to have on the road. Would stink to lose to either Canisius or Rider, but a loss to either on the road won't kill us. We did not look like a well coached team tonight. We're better than this. And 05 is right; we are everyone's super bowl right now. That team was flying.

As I've said before league play is tough. Everyone loves to talk about how the MAAC stinks well we almost lost to one of the worst teams in the league. IW or not we should have dominated. The Purps played hard and we took them for granted. Hopefully we come out better against the Griffs.

We played like an AAU or summer league team that got together for the first time this evening.
