Can't not figure the logic of scheduling Stamford anyway. Did this team really need to fly out to California for a P-5 homer?
We couldn't have had a home game against a former Big East team. Or current Big East team. These kids may be just plain tired.

It was a home and home. They played us at home last year.

It was not a good officiated game, but our guys didn't play well. They too often squander key posessions when they can either take the lead, stretch leads or keep close. They often seem to lose composure when the game starts to get away from them. Too often they take quick shots in those situations. They have talent, but they're young, all are in new roles and they lack a critical piece, a second handler. Brimmah and Facey have shown signs of solid scoring capabilities, but Brimmah can't stay on the floor and Facey needs to get more scoring opportunities and take more shots.

I know I've been tough on refs tonight but you could just tell when Stanford would rattle off 8 straight points. Right after we would put up 5 straight. You're dead right.

Well, we need to rethink these home to home series if it means wearing out the team with travel. Couldn't we play Cuse? Nova?

With our conference now we need to avoid west coast ooc games if possible. This 5 game swing was obsurd.
