I don't know if the numbers coincide, but Tim seemed to get gradually better and better each year.

Can Tavaris Hardy be far behind?

I thought the defense looked pretty good. Of course it helped that Army didn’t shoot well but maybe the work on defense had something to do with that. Defensively, I thought that DP played Louth more minutes to have Joe N. and Louth cover their center, which kept Caleb off him and thus less likely to foul as well as freed him up to help rim protect. This adjustment also allowed Caleb sometimes to be matched up with Army’s rookie of the year which limited his effectiveness. We also outrebounded Army. All I was going to post earlier was "CDP seemed to do a good job of managing the rotations"....I'm glad I didn't - this tells a lot more.

Pacific went 0-16 in the WCC regular season. Tough to do worse than that.

Looking forward to seeing the game tomorrow night. Not looking forward to listening to that Colgate announcer. He either has a crappy microphone, or he sometimes has it in his mouth when yelling. Wondering what the over/under is on how many times we will hear:
"The Mayor of South Kingstown!" "The Cotterell Crazies!"
As for the game itself, defending that team is challenging for anyone. You pretty much have to pick your poison; bombs away or get carved up inside. Like last night, hopefully the guys can avoid a bad stretch that can take them right out of the game.
Remember 2016!

Louth gave them some strong man minutes. What the heck, zero pressure now.

Seniors stepping up so far.
Can they stay strong?

Working pretty hard at least. Up 23-16, 4:30 left in the half.

They have to do a better job guarding TJ Small; he was the leading scorer for Army in both games. Above all, if HC is going to take 30 3 pointers, they had better make more than 5 of them.

Was looking at the frosh minutes per team. If my math is correct, HC frosh played about 40.6% of the team's minutes; tops in the PL. Others: AU: 19.6% Army: 37.2% BU: 28.5% Bucknell: 4.7% Colgate: 17.5% Lafayette: 26.5% Lehigh: 27.9% Loyola: 6.3% Navy: 9.4% Odd that Loyola had the next to lowest reliance on frosh, yet finished last. As for Coach of the Year, most leagues might be prudent to select theirs say in May or June....after the transfer movement settles.Wut? Why? What difference does it make who comes or goes after the season is over and its achievement can be recognized? Not being totally serious here, but who comes and goes does make a difference. It's a big reason why Langel is COY imho. He was able to retain Records and Moffatt when they could have gone elsewhere, and Smith stayed as well.

I thought Caleb might be 3rd team, so that's impressive. Thought Nugent had an outside shot at the rookie team, but can't complain with 2 guys from the 9th seeded team making all league.

I sort of liked the short lived experiment from close to 20 years ago, when they split up the tournament into 2 league site pods (HC hosted one). I believe they played the quarters and semis at the 2 sites, then the highest overall seed hosted the final (I might not have this completely accurate). It at least gave off a bit of tournament vibe, while still rewarding regular season performance. Joe Knight dropped in 45 points against Colgate at the Hart during the 2005 PLT. Hart Center scoring record? That was an incredible performance by Knight; he was chucking up shots from everywhere. I think Jimmy McCaffrey has the Hart record, with 46 (and 15 assists) in a game against a very good Iona team. Think he was named SIs player of the week.

Probably a dumb question, but could it be just to give the winning team 1 extra hour for travel/prep for the quarterfinal?

Among a host of other things, they will really need Louth to be super energized to help out Caleb. Seniors in general really need to step up.

Its frustrating in that it always seems to be small chunks of these games where bad play does them in. Four point deficits become 15-16 point deficits in the blink of an eye. Its not like the team plays terribly from wire to wire. They just seem to have a tough time stopping the bleeding when things start to go wrong.
Could really use a defensive stopper like Derek Farkas - someone who just comes in and is relentless with on the ball pressure.

Hare may not be ready immediately, but I have far more confidence in Paulsen as a judge of prospects than that of Nelson. I wish I could like this comment more than just once!! You can't see it, but I liked on your behalf.

I'd like to see HC buy Rotmans and turn it into a 1)Crusader Sports Museum, and 2)some sort of football game day experience venue (haven't thought this part out). Maybe Crossports could lease some office space.

Morales did not play last game, and he is a bit of a matchup problem.
