Karl Charles doesn't help us when he spends half the game on the bench. Really needs to figure out how to keep himself out of foul trouble and in the game. Holy Cross committed a season-high 21 fouls, and Loyola made more FT's than we attempted. A big part of the reason we lost tonight. Yes--he fouled out against Maine and had only 3 points and fouled out tonight and got 4 points. He shot 1-7 in Maine game and 1-6 tonight. We need at least 8 points a game from KC, preferably 12 or more.....

Charles continues to commit ridiculous fouls. Thompson continues his kamikaze plunges. If you were their coach would you know how to put a stop to it? Why does CBC allow it to continue?

Loyola cracked our defense with lots of clever dishes to a cutting player. First player either got the ball posting up or dribble penetrated then dished to a cutting player. However, when our player gets inside, he almost always kicks out to a player standing on the perimeter who either attempts a three or goes into our incessant weave. This is very noticeable and we have been doing it for a long time. Very frustrating to watch. It's like our players don't have instinctive court sense or CBC has told them to stay on the perimeter. Am I crazy or what?

Coach wants more 3 point scoring.

Very disappointing game. Didn't have a good feeling going into it, with the quick turnaround. Feel the same going into Navy. Tough part of the season - kids dinged up, school starting, tough road trips. Team has to regroup. As an aside, I think both Hahn and Kostecka would have been terrific in the PO!

Agree with hc87, PL basketball stinks.

Not sure why you and hc87 constantly torture yourselves. Holy Cross is not leaving the PL any time soon and unless you are a masochist, if it bothers you so much, why not stop watching and stop posting? For some, we find the games are very competitive as witness so many upsets. On any given night, any PL team can beat any other. For some, that is actually exciting.

36 seconds left, Loyola ball down by 2. We have forced turnovers on (I believe) their last 3 possessions. They throw a wild pass down the court, look like they are out of control, and then we immediately foul their best free throw shooter (shooting 87% for the year) without taking any time to try and force a turnover, or at least foul a worse FT shooter. Horrible situational basketball --------------- Loyola shot 56.5% on 2FG's. We need a serious overhaul to this defense that is being held together by scotch tape. I think we were trying to trap there and the ref blew a quick whistle on PB as Loyola was trying to get a timeout. Truly awful call when you could hear the player calling timeout on TV. Even the announcers thought the whistle was for a timeout because they were sitting right there and could hear the player calling for the timeout. Kind of a game-sealing call. Even the ref sort of winced after he raised his arm...

There was no such score. Can you go peddle your agenda somewhere else. It only seems to appear after a loss. When HC beat teams starting freshmen (and they played poorly) not a peep was heard. Kosteka is a good ball player. That was why HC wanted him. If e would have had to have MB stay to get him, it clearly would not have been worth it, IMHO. Why does someone automatically have an "agenda" if you disagree with them? That is not the case. Why would you come to such a conclusion? How do you explain such a strange post about a fictional score? That message seems to repeat a theme (is that better) that comes from this poster time after time.

What agenda is it that I'm peddling, exactly? Perhaps, the idea that we have no capable frosh, and implying that all of the HC underclassmen (even the juniors we do not have) are in some way not equal to one MB recruit?

It makes as much sense as SOV's claim that the program is in good shape going into next year because the under class men scored the majority of the points in the Army game. Surprised to see he didn't mention that the seniors scored 70 percent of the points last night.

With all due respect, I think you might have HC92 confused with some other posters. There has been some speculation on the board that, based on what we've seen thus far, the freshman class is a down year and will not provide much going forward. I do not recall HC92 being one of those speculators

I wonder if there is a way to have the teams that play the Monday tv game guarantee their next game two days later be a home game (or at least a shorter-travel).

Perhaps, the idea that we have no capable frosh, and implying that all of the HC underclassmen (even the juniors we do not have) are in some way not equal to one MB recruit? This year's frosh: 1) Expelled from school 2) Appeared in 16 of 22 games, averaging 4 minutes per game, scored 13 of his 19 total points on the season in one game. 3) Played 6 minutes over 6 games, 1 total point. Last night, a freshman from Loyola, who previously committed to HC, scored as many points as our frosh class has combined to score through 22 games. Those are the facts. Maybe it's too soon to say that "we have no capable frosh," and I don't think anyone is actually making that statement, but to say that the results from Carmody's first full recruiting class are in any way encouraging would be extremely disingenuous. I think you would need to go back to the Raynor years and beyond to find a frosh class that has contributed less than this one, and we don't even have a good team this year that is getting in the way of frosh getting minutes,

Recruiting under Coach Carmody has been poor so far but a more accurate grade might come into focus with the next frosh class. I see some good talent there.

When did stats become "scores" - especially vs a nonexistent junior class? It is IMO a fictional "score."

RGS, really think you're reading too far into something here. You think? Very frustrating game. Because no non-senior besides Benzan did anything, I wondered how many points they had total. When it added up to 19, I made my post, which I thought some might find amusing or interesting. No agenda. Like Carmody. Like all the kids. Root hard for them to do well every game, often in person. Just need to get more out of all of them.
