Tired of 20 plus loss seasons. How can everyone we play have lights out shooters, and we never can recruit one. Face it, BB at HC is a non factor. FB is the sport.

Our shooters starting to shoot. Are you watching what I am watching. You are correct in that they are shooting but they aren’t finding the net. On the other hand, our D is awful. My comment was made after a brief flurry of a couple of made shots. Colgate can't miss. If HC D was shutting them down we might have a chance.

All can and will be replaced. Let’s hope they can and will be replaced by guys whom can defend their own. We’re 362/362 this year WITH the league DPoY. Big step backwards (70 spots) this year under Paulsen. Maybe Ralph Willard will be a volunteer assistant.

A football pass breakaway. The Cherry on top of the Sundae. Are you kidding me?

The Cooz statue is safe after Batch's behind the back dribble in thick traffic. Now you see it, now you don't.

Any chance we'll be worse next year? I think we might be. Unless we hit the transfer portal hard--Bo, Octave, Louth all leaving. Need some experience behind Batchelder, Kenney, and the returning Frosh

Langel does not have "coaches squeak" in his voice after the game. I like that.

Need some experience behind Batchelder, Kenney, and the returning Frosh Only one of these three earned third team PL honors this season. I’m not overly concerned with the departures. Also, Louth seems to be returning, anyways.

Thanks to the seniors and the team for their commitment and playing through some difficult years.
My bet is it will be Caleb and three or four new players starting next year and for the first time in years real progress and improvement

Need some experience behind Batchelder, Kenney, and the returning Frosh We have 8 non-seniors and 4 incoming freshmen. Coulibaly's lack of participation on senior day combined with his visa issues as a freshman suggests that he might return. Barring defections out via the portal, there might not be any room to hit the portal hard

I support a coach getting a full cycle to build his team through recruiting for openings caused by Crusaders graduating after four years. I hope the BN era revolving door is forever gone. Use the portal when it is the best option, but for openings caused by graduation not transient players.

Until next year, #GoCrossGo

That would be ideal but players have a mind of their own, look at Dartmouth and what decisions they made I agree, that is the other side of the coin - the reason why the portal exists so that players can control their college basketball journey. If a player wants to go someplace better for him, great. But encouraging a player to leave doesn't coincide with Holy Cross values or mission, and the large turnover in prior years did nothing for the program.

Colgate is a better team. To win HC needs to minimize mistakes and someone has to get crazy hot. Neither of those haopened in the first half Nor the second. Mistakes on defense as well as offense.

What’s up with AJ Wills? Is he injured? Injured finger As well-kept a secret as you'll find; hearing about his recovery progress, that is. The young man certainly would have been an option tonight and in a couple of other games he missed.
