Big weekend coming up with Canisius and Monmouth at home.
Go Gaels!

Does this make any sense? If we are struggling with Canisius, either offensively or defensively, we play the following players: IW, Cashaw, Mo, Van Eyck and Ross (or Ben) and full court press the Griffs early on. And after a few minutes return the team that started the game, and see if that strategy improved the play of the starters. My point being that our pressing worked against Marist because, in part, they don't have a VG PG, while Canisius does have a good PG (Johnson), so I don't think we can wait for the closing minutes to try a pressing defense. By pressing early on, we might: 1. Get into a more up-tempo game, which we like. 2. Tire out the Griffs. Desperate times call for desperate measures.  |

Last year, I remember our away game against Canisius for some reason, better than our home game. But up in Buffalo, Ben Perez had one of his best games. Maybe he can repeat that performance.

Hate to speculate, but my prediction is that we see TC back at the Hynes Center today, whether it be on the bench or in the stands. IW just posted on Instagram that they have something special in store for the fans tonight, so that was what immediately came to mind. Gaels -3 seems easy if that's the case. Hope Hynes is rockin tonight!

I think he means free t-shirts Quite the surprise! Haha whoops Couldn’t you see Cluess returning with no advance notice, so to avoid any media circus? That would be a Cluess like move. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him at a game without any pre notice. |

Not only tee shirts, but long sleeved tee shirts.
