At this point that’s my last concern. Need to compete for a full 40 first

If we lose by 1-2 and shot under 50% FTs we can revisit

Bilau should start as soon as he’s physically able.

Cam is really impressive for such a young guy.

What a game.

If nothing else, this has been as fun of a half to watch as we’ve had in a long time

Yeah no matter how this ends I'm really happy with the second half showing. Feels like we're starting to get a better idea of what the rotation should look like to.

Also god bless Yale if they’re able to keep Wolf after this year.

True 7 foot sophomore who shoots 40%+ from 3. Kid has high major written all over him

sloppy pass

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Women's team has 20 turnovers a game, but highly contested in traffic.

Men's has at least 10 god awful passes a game, where they might as well just float the ball over to the defender: 2nd year straight

We’ve only had 2 turnovers this half

Very nice win against a solid team. The second half effort was a huge improvement. I think a clear rotation is starting to materialize to. Now beat the Friars!

*braces for incoming Blueman war call about this teams potential*

Jokes aside. This may be the game we look back on as the turning point for the Archie tenure. The boys now have a good win under their belt.

Confidence building, rotations coming together.

Were on to Providence week

I can’t believe it ! Was hoping for a better played half but didn’t expect a win.

Now that’s more like it! Nice comeback win against a quality team. Just need to figure out how not to dig ourselves the big holes to start against good teams.

Well, that lineup to start the half was certainly loads better than what he had been going with previously

Congrats to the players and staff. This qualifies as a good quality win. Best victory thus far this season.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Did anyone notice? Fuchs on the bench to start the second half, comes in later on, plays way better than when he starts?

Better for the team, and it keeps him motivated. Win-win

The issue with Always is he is almost zero threat to score. Any old timers remember Carlos Easterling who was effective but had a ceiling bc he was not a threat to score. Against better competition that weakness stands out more. It’s hidden against less formidable comp.

For today…Bilau makes an impact, Jaden gets some of his mojo back, Zek is Zek. Rhody wins. Manifest it!

Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. Zek was Zek. And Bilau changed the tone defensively. Brown also stepped up. Good win.

House hit the foul shots when it counted. Nice !

Yeah. Personally, I think Always is a liability. He does well against weak competition, but when he played against legitimate talent, he couldn't do a thing. Some may criticize me for saying this, but I believe Bassy was a better guard off the bench. Ways could develop, but Hammond should be ahead of him the moment he arrives. If he's not, then he's not as good as we thought.

Weston still has plenty of upside, and he's clearly a better player than last year. If he stays healthy, I think he'll be one of our most consistent players and earn more minutes. The more our bigs get abused, I believe Archie will go smaller with Weston and Zek.

I had a feeling Archie would go with Weston more today and he did. What a great spark to our starting lineup in the second half. Great job by Archie after some questionable decisions in the first half.

15 I think you owe Brown an apology. You gave up on him way too fast.

I also owe Brown an apology. I wanted Foumena to get more minutes over Fuchs or Brown in the first half, but Brown was awesome on the defensive end.

Archie let Cam get into a rhythm, and he made an impact. This kid is going to be special.

Luis is our leader. Man, that dude is a dog. I love the way he bullies people to the hoop.

Bilau is great.

I think it's clear that Archie needs to shorten the rotation. When guys get more of a rhythm we look like a totally different team. Right now it looks like Foumena and Ways would be the two that sit in games like these. I would prefer Fou play over Fuchs but that doesn't seem likely.

The team that played in the second half could win the A10. The team that played in the first would finish last. Let's hope we are that second-half team!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 5 months ago

Accurate

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 5 months ago

I feel like Brown can be much more effective playing next to Bilau then he can playing next to to Fuchs to.

Great comeback in the second half and a very good win overall . The defense in the first half was a sieve , in the second half it was lock down .
Fuchs defense in the first half was matador special . they seemed to play with renewed confidence right away to start the second half . Maybe the players want weston on the floor.

Watched entire game, tale of two halves. I'd like to think that was a halftime adjustment by Miller. Great win for the program today. Like.

BTW, nice to meet you Blueman.

NYGFan_Section208 · Unread post by **NYGFan_Section208** » 5 months ago

Haven't read through any of this...just got home. Good win, awesome comeback, Kortwright...had no idea he could take it to the hoop like that. He gets there, you expect it to be blocked, and he muscles it in...very good.

With 5:00 or so left in the 1st half, down 18, I texted someone that I did not expect to get killed. By Yale. At home.

Good win, hopefully, can build some momentum. That was fun to be at. It's funny listening to the conversation here about students (and I'm sure I'm missing a bunch above that I haven't read) but,...if you went around campus to every student that was there - I get it, maybe there were 150 or so... and said, look...here's $3 to not go to, you probably would have doubled tonight's student attendance, just from sheer curiosity.

Solid coaching by Miller today. Bilau pretty much took away the right baseline in 2nd half. Pretty flawless 2nd half against a strong well coached team with multiple real talented D1 players who could play anywhere in the country.

Great show get rid of Yorke and pretty much perfect.

Well done fellas!

Let’s make Friartown cry…

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 5 months ago

Archie said in post game that there will be a lineup change going forward. I’d like to see Bilau, Brown, Luis, Zek and Weston.
