We are nowhere near 10 deep. No, but KC's return, and solid play from Ziggy and Conor makes nine, potentially

We lost to a very good team today. I look for URI to do well.

Seniors vs freshmen and we hung in. Not bad. I for one saw lots to like and build on. Have to believe this staff will coach this group up and learn from this experience.

Very nice job hanging in during the first half, but it’s going to be difficult beating an A10 team with this lineup. We may be deeper in terms of the # of guys who can shoot, but we are pretty limited in defensive and (especially) rebounding depth. We desperately need someone besides Floyd who is comfortable playing in the paint. I agree we need help in the paint, but rebounds were 29-35...not exactly getting killed there. We oly had Floyd out there for 27 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, the frosh on this team are the most promising I have seen since Torey/Keith class. We just have to focus on getting tougher in the middle. and not losing shooter on our rotations. that has been a weakness for the last 7 years, Also double digit rebounding deficits, need attention. This group is more aggressive,which is a very good sign.

With a very small 1/2 when Green and Benzan are on the floor together (clearly our two best guards), we can’t have a defensive liability playing the 3 (and 4). We need 30+ minutes from Charles, Floyd, Benzan, and Green.

Connor played confidently, esp for his first game, as did the other 4 freshmen who play. Caleb has many skills and has used them effectively. He gave up a lot of size vs their point, but held his own. Jehyve again showed his advanced offensive game, and rebounded well, esp on the defensive glass. But, there is always that but, FOULS. he does get called for some questionable ones, but still does not know how to avoid future fouls when he is in foul difficulty. Zig shot the best he has.

The third foul on Floyd early in the second half was one he definitely needs to learn to avoid. But lots of positives for him so far this year. If he can stay in the game, he will be a very tough matchup for a lot of teams.

Runnin Rhody @loveri401 · 2h URI smacked Holy Cross silly without E.C. and without Cyril Langevine, how not surprising

I'm pretty certain that by next year Faw, Grandison, and Niego will be playing with stronger bodies, once they get a dado like strength training program under their belts. In the meantime, I am very encouraged with what they have shown us so. Let's not go too crazy worrying about the last 14 minutes; we knew going in there would be ups and downs.
Love that Niego shook off his first shot (air ball) and competed like he did. How bout the handle for a 6-8 kid!

He reminds me a little of the old Cornell blogger. When they got good for a couple of years, he acted like they were Duke. Since going 29-5 and making the Sweet 16 in 2009-10, they have not had a winning season.
