Middle chairbacks were, everywhere else was pretty full 2,200. More than the home opener. And good number for a team that was 0-3 |

So all I saw was the final score as I was enjoying a night out with the wife for the first time without kids in awhile.
Looking forward to watching the replay!
Fuck yeah! Go Gaels!

Was not able to watch tonight so I will watch tomorrow but I have one comment - the gold unis this year are super clean. Sorry, don't understand your point. |

Things I liked and didn't like:
Didn't Like-
* Going back to a big starting lineup against a team that has good perimeter shooters, Long (former FF player) and Hurley, who combined for 7-13 from three.
* Rupert logging 32 minutes, w/o contributing very much. Four boards, while Moundi had seven in 22 minutes. Rupert also had five TO's.
* Seemed we were more athletic, yet we had only one block, while VT had seven.
Did Like-
* Hustle all game.
* Shooting in the 2nd half. 41/44/72
* Biggie Patterson stepping up.
* The hope that Barr can add some offense to his resume. Many are already impressed with his defense.
* We talk a lot about missed free throws, but Reeves has started his Iona career going 16-16 in four games, not too shabby.
* Impressed with Bundy, but hope for more scoring. Shooting 5-12 for the season shows promise, imo.
* Our freshman PG has shown flashes, and I look for continued improvement as he gets more game experience.
Bottom line, I don't think that we'll see real improvement until the first of the new year, when we should have Winborne back.

Keeping VT off the glass. +24 rebounding margin advantage last night; +11.8 avg on the season. Biggie all around very good game. zero turnovers after 11 in first three games. Reaves great all around game. Only blemish - 6 turnovers after zero in first three games. As a team need to reduce 17 TOs per game significantly. Reaves and Bundy flawless at FT line again -- 23 of 23 on the season between the two of them. Rest of team shooting 51% FTs on season. Need to get better there. |

Bottom line, I don't think that we'll see real improvement until the first of the new year, when we should have Winborne back. I'll nitpick a couple of your points: Rupert was also +14 while Moundi was -14. This is a ridiculous difference. Barr averaged only 9ppg at the D2 level. He's not a scorer, never will be. And he was still +15. |

If you heard TA’s comment late in the presser, he mentioned not being able to drive to the basket with no lanes open. I saw this with both Delaware and Vermont, how they packed the paint because they knew we couldn’t hurt them from the outside. We made noise about the one on one play. Well pretty simple in my mind. No outside shooting, there will never be lanes for scoring or penetration. I would argue that the 4 of 9 threes (44%) in the 2nd half was huge in our comeback victory. The press, rebounds and chemistry of players on the floor during the run, not to be overlooked.

Biggie and Bundy made some WINNING plays in the comeback. Game was very similar to Delaware for 1st half. Vermont is a better team than Delaware, so the improvement is significant.
