They missed shots, but we had hands in faces MUCH more than in the first half too. We had hands in their faces more than normal but probably the biggest factor for them missing shots in the second half was tired legs. Maac schedule can be unfair, league needs to get back to an even amount of teams, should be 10 or 12. They had open looks but we also forced them to 1 second left on clock twice and Ricky taking the charge late on Young was big as well,I agree on the tired legs.

Attended game,a few observations: 1-Great to see Ricky hit 4 threes,we need this as we wind down 2-EJ needs to get the ball more down the stretch,especially when teams need to foul us 3-Agee all over the boards,now leads the league in rebounding 4-We need to get Ben going early or he can disappear 5-GREAT defensive stops continually in the 2nd half 6-Win,lose,or draw these kids play hard at all times,mental mistakes plenty but not from lack of effort. Didn’t think the Manhattan game would be such a big game 3 weeks ago but obviously it is.they will be ready to play and Massiello has them competing at their best level all year,should be a nice Friday night college environment,it would be great to get some fan support although I’m aware it’s a tough time and place for many to get to. Re #5 I81 my thought was that Q’pac missed open looks as opposed to our defense making the difference. Also both of those announcers really sucked on their analyses. They should be fired immediately. I'll play the contrarian here. I liked the announcers. They were funny & weird. Yes they were very pro Quinni, but what do you expect? These aren't front-line ESPN announcers. If they were, you would still complain. Seems like some of you complain about all announcers except our own. I wonder why?

The play by play guy was good I thought, while the other guy was a bit of a clown. I like some of the other announcers, like the FF guys and Canisius was good too.

The announcers were weird but not funny or good. I agree with broguy regarding the Canisius announcers, who were very fair, balanced and knowledgeable.

Dialogue on the intentional foul was over the top. “It started out as an intentional foul but it didn’t end that way”.

Have any post game interviews with coach and the press been taking place? Always enjoyed the game analysis. If yes, where can they be found?

Yeah. That was a great take and an opportunity to get to know these guys. If ESPN does not want to do it, why not have the students put on a post game show. There is zero marketing of the program(s) to the base - alums and other interested parties. Don't know what the new AD is doing. He's definitely not promoting the program.
