Nothing to do with basketball, but it would be nice if the scrimmage were here for any parents that wanted to come for family weekend. Even if they couldn't watch the scrimmage there are other family weekend activities.

Agree, but perhaps A year from now it would be a more meaningful activity/event after we make it to the PL semis this year.

Anyone know where or when the scrimmage is ? I believe that last year the Brown people leaked the sordid details after the scrimmage.

The women are having an open practice and ring ceremony starting at 10:30 Saturday - I’d guess the men’s scrimmage is at Brown I was tempted to hang out in the lot at Tony's Pizza to see if an HC bus went by on Rte 146 to Provi but my better-half had a project for me.

I think the first team mentioned on Tilly's schedule is the home team, so pretty sure it's down at that evil Pizza gym

I hope that this report will help temper expectations for the coming season. DP is probably the right coach for Holy Cross but he’s got a very steep uphill climb.

A new system too get comfortable with, practice success doesn’t always reflect game success… Just keep improving every time out.. If DP was very animated, there are a lot of things to learn in his system!

Perhaps my prior post needs clarification? I'd be willing to bet big money that our team will finish the season ranked higher than any under Nelson. I happen to believe DP could take 12 kids off the street and do better than Nelson (a bit harsh, I know, as he "played the game").
My only point is with a new coach and new system, there will be bumps, lots of them, on the road to recovery. We'll likely lose at least a game or two that we think going into it that we should win. I hope I'm not being too pessimistic but we've had our hopes dashed too often over the years and while I won't give DP the HC70 proverbial 5 years to turn things around, he sure gets at least a full season, probably two, to demonstrate his prowess.

Two —combination of scrimmage/exhibition

Not really shocked at all about that kind of an outcome in the scrimmage. Most previews I have read have Brown in the top 3-4 of the Ivy this year, with a coach who has been there a while, and a couple of good all Ivy caliber players. Hopefully everyone was able to get in the action.
FWIW, I read somewhere that UNH beat Siena in their scrimmage. Again, FWIW.

I don't understand why we put the state of Massachusetts on the hardwood and some of the merch. It makes no sense to me. It would make sense for UMass.

I was told in October 2016 while on a tour of the newly renovated arena, before it was opened for basketball, often it was asked where is Holy Cross. The Massachusetts outline was to ensure that there was no confusion when watching a game where the school is located. It also ensures that there is no mis identification with the school that Rudy attended that is now a 4 year institution.

We might have been on the same tour and remembered the first part as that was an immediate question but don't remember the Rudy part. (You made that up, didn't you?! )

We were on the same tour. I heard the Rudy part somewhere, maybe not on the tour but in conversation with Joe B or someone, maybe the little voice in my head. 🤣
I am still water logged and in a funk from the game on Saturday.

Crucius and others
We recover from funks and the coaches and players are looking ahead. Put Saturday behind us and beat Fordham. At 5-2 in FCS play we can remain in the mix
If we execute, win, and get into the playoffs our freshmen become sophomores in the playoffs. The best is yet to come
