Smart move for Tobin to work in the bench guys in the first half.
Crazy thought: most times I root for the highest seed and the most rest. I actually think this team would do better by playing multiple games and gaining momentum with each W.
1983, have to disagree. IMO, he made some coaching moves that almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Tretout got injured and was subbed out. While I'd have to check the Play by Play, it seemed that he was out for a couple of minutes and then returned and, I believe, played the rest of the game, with little to no contribution. And in the final 5+ minutes of the game, Marist missed four crucial free throws, two by Allen and two by Daughtry. Both times Marist came away with offensive rebounds. And a contributing factor was that our 'inside' guys on the foul line were JA and WP, with Shema and Adewale on the bench. But even though we tried to give Marist the game, they wouldn't take it.
And, I'm wondering what did Marist do to take Panzo out of the game. He was on fire but made his final three at the 13:26 and I don't think he got a shot the rest of the game. I'm more than happy with the effort and the win, but Marist helped us, by shooting 9-19 from the foul line.
Who knows this could be the start of a streak.
P.S. 1983, I was disagreeing with your comment about TA's adjustments.

Adawale fouled out; he was not available to rebound those foul shots. If Os was more than 60% he would be a lock to be in the game in those situations. Unfortunately he is not. I may have had him in anyway, but Os is having a lot of trouble underneath and is getting pushed around very easily. At this point he is more effective on perimeter defense.
Tobin put Tretout back in because a) he could still and b) we needed the offensive threat.

Agree, Os just isnt the best option, even at 7 feet he doesn't rebound and often struggles stopping the other team's big. Also, yes, offensively, if you're going to run 5 out you might as well have Panzo at the 5!
The greatest poster in the history of the MAAC as determined by THREE separate polls.

What should not get lost in the shuffle is that we saw a much greater level of cohesion on offense today, and real leadership from Joel Brown.
