Awesome win. Lots to like again. Faw was really good tonight. Foul trouble for our bigs is going to be a problem given our lack of depth there.

Wow. That was a delight to behold. Nice recruiting. Still won against Harvard despite all the frosh playing, being out rebounded, being in foul trouble, and KC being quiet. Should be a fun season.

Great team effort! Faw and Benzan were the standouts. Go cross go. Fantastic Win! Fantastic atmosphere with a pretty good crowd, cheerleaders, dance team, band, and pretty Roccus fans for holy cross. Now if we just had good video streaming! I agree! I thought it was my internet connection here on vacation in Georgia... Solid win, the team hung in there. The freshman are contributing, PB is the leader of the pack! That 3 by Grandison that was disallowed was big.. I still don’t know why it didn’t count...

outstanding win! to be 2-0 with 3 freshmen on the court for much of their first games as college basketball players is awesome. there was a lot to like from our crusaders tonight, here are a few immediate thoughts.
- our defense was excellent. we rotated very well in the zone tonight, got our hands on the ball constantly both defending the dribble and in passing lanes, and kept their bigs at bay. credit to carmody for fitting yet another defense to our personnel and to our players for executing flawlessly.
- the freshmen were fantastic. not just their production, but their energetic confidence and clutch play throughout the game. can you imagine these guys three years from now? we have a lot of great basketball to look forward to over the next couple of years.
- i loved the communication from the entire team on defense and the vocal leadership from a number of players, especially from benzan, butler, and kc. you can tell butler was a quarterback, it's like having another coach out there. speaking of kc, pretty encouraging that we can beat a good team without much offensive production from him. that bodes well, because we know kc is a player and to be able to beat a good team without much production from him speaks volumes.
- our bigs overall were pretty solid. floyd had the dominant first half, and faw and grandison played well in the second half with some big buckets. all defended and rebounded pretty well.
- the poise out of our point guards is encouraging. it's been a long time since we've seen the great decision making that both benzan and green have shown us. green lit it up in the first half and despite not scoring much, was completely under control with the ball in the second half and he was great in the zone. benzan was simply fantastic tonight, offensively and defensively.
- last but not least, we weathered the storm of harvard mini-comebacks and awful officiating throughout the second half. very, very impressive for such a young team with no seniors! one might expect a young team to collapse when grandy's three was falsely-reversed (seriously, wtf?!?) and a lot of calls seemed to go harvard's way. but we hung in there, and multiple players stepped up with clutch plays.
i am very encouraged by this win tonight. both for this year, and even more, the future. let's keep it rolling!

Am I the only one who really struggles to get a continuous video from Watch Stadium every single game? you’re certainly not the only one, 92. Stadium is ATROCIOUS. Stadium ran perfectly for me tonight. Go figure. Lehigh game too.

This is what a well coached team looks like. Every time Harvard clawed back, HC kept their poise.

Back from the game and I'm really shot in the arse!
Fun team to watch. Floyd's improvement is staggering.
PB is amazing around the basket.
Our Frosh are fearless. They'll be bumps, but if they ever improve at the rate PB and JF have, we'll be playing well into march their junior and senior years.
Playing this game tonight rather than Tuesday of thanksgiving week is so much better.
It's so great to be on the positive side of coaching matchups.
Congrats to the players!

PB reminds me of a much smaller version of RJ Evans........maybe not as much brute strength on the power drives, but that uncanny ability to get a quality shot off when it seems impossible.

you’re certainly not the only one, 92. Stadium is ATROCIOUS. Stadium ran perfectly for me tonight. Go figure. Lehigh game too. Me too. Absolutely perfect. Let me say this. My old desktop crashed a few months ago and I bought a new HP desktop with updated technology. If for some posters Stadium is not running well, it could be that the computer you are using is a bit dated. Just a guess.

Somewhere out there today (maybe mid major madness, I'm looking for it) was a blurb about this being a "tune-up" game for Harvard tonight. How sweet it is.

In first two games PB and CG have played 131 minutes with just 5 turnovers—-pretty good ball handlers
