One of the announcers said Bo is out for a couple of weeks. Did they say earlier what is wrong?

Nah, you'd think one of these kids had a serious illness that should be kept private versus a sprained ankle or something like that. And at least in the part of the game I saw where they were discussing who's not playing, they didn't even mention Louth.

More frustration. Injuries and Quinnipiac is good but its just another loss at the Hart Center. Let's beat Harvard to try and turn this season around.

That is certainly a worthwhile goal, but if there is a turnaround it more likely will come with the last OOC game (Elms) and PL play.

The shortest game thread since … ? The situation at HC is very sad - football is really all we have (personally women’s bball is very underwhelming so far)

Some of us also have those great NFL NY franchises in NJ. Oops!

The situation at HC is very sad - football is really all we have (personally women’s bball is very underwhelming so far) Did you watch their last game with the team again close to full strength? This is a talented group that plays solid defense and will be one of the top 3 PL teams with a chance to again win it. How is that "underwhelming?"

If Dave Paulsen can fix this program, and I’m not sure that he can, it’s going to take years. He’s one helluva salesman if he can convince any real D-1 prospect to come play here.

I think things will get better each year under Paulsen. I don't think it's that heavy a lift to get kids to come to HC. We have some talented freshmen and evidently an even more talented class coming next year.

I think we've seen enough already to know that 2-8 HC with the current coach is a lot better than 1-9 or 0-10 HC would have been if no change was made.

We have some talented freshmen and evidently an even more talented class coming next year. Now they have to stay. I think we have more all rookie team players, even rookie of the year players, than we do all-league players, or PL POYs.
We can TAKE the reservation, but can we KEEP the reservation? (Do you want supplemental insurance?)

Since you asked. . . Our last POY was Keith Simmons Our last 1st team all league team was Dave Dudzinski Since Dudzinski, although we have had zero 1st team all league, four different players have made 2nd team: Miller, Floyd, Butler, and Gates In that time frame there have been two ROY's: Pridgen and Luc Not including Pridgen and Luc, there have been five other players who were on the all rookie team in this time frame: Thompson, Charles, Butler, Johnson, and Batch

Because I looked it up, Pridgen is still playing at Northeastern. He has started 9 of 11 games and did not appear in their other two games presumably because of illness or injury. Averaging 29 min, 10.3 pts and 5.9 rebs. Northeastern is currently 4-7.

More frustration. Injuries and Quinnipiac is good but its just another loss at the Hart Center. Let's beat Harvard to try and turn this season around. I watched the first half of last night's game this morning on replay. It was an interesting game for almost the entire first half. It seemed to me CDP was encouraging an uptempo approach on offense. Perhaps he feels that will work better vs PL comp than OOC foes. Could also be he isn't that happy with the half-court offense. The other thought I just had is why not try something different on D like a press? I think someone posted that KenPom had HC as the 2nd worst defensive team in the country. (Not sure what metric that was based on).

A team that tries to press but is broken consistently finds itself in even more trouble, giving up lay ups. DP may figure right now it's best to get back on defense.

In his seven years at Bucknell, DP did not press even one time, with the exception of a M2M press in the final minute of a lost game.

One of the announcers said Bo is out for a couple of weeks. Did they say earlier what is wrong? Bo tweaked his knee at Central CT. He should be back for the PL opener, hopefully. Batch was sick, the flue..I don't know anything regarding Louth...
