If we get another crowd of 3,396 (no doubt someone will say that’s a false number, that there maybe 800 in the stands) we will have a leg up versus Lehigh.

No - 26 points, 10 bounds. But scored 31 vs. Bucknell in PLT quarterfinal (record for an HC freshman in PLT play)

Board Question: Was that Dave screaming at the ref w/about 5 min to go? Possible Tim...I kept it together most of the way, but I remember losing it a bit around then....don't even remember the call! By the way, I wonder if 57 points Is a record for 2 PL frosh in the same game? Let's look at CJ's game log from his freshman season.

Crowd looked great on TV -- students must have been itching to finally see a home game. Winter break unbelievably long now -- "back in my day", we were back at least a week before MLK day.
All of a sudden, we're back in the mix to compete to not only avoid an opening round pillow fight, but to maybe even host a quarterfinal. Need to take care of business against Lehigh (both teams on short rest), Navy and American at home and try to steal a couple road games.

Don't you just love the way Austin Butler plays the game?? You wonder if this might be one thing that everyone on the board agrees with—what a pleasure it is to watch him on the court

Let's look at CJ's game log from his freshman season. No gamelogs for that season on sports-ref, but Lehigh bio says he scored 30+ three times as a freshman (high of 33 vs. Army)

Attendance figure today was legit -- imagine students were salivating to finally have a home game while they were on campus. Somewhat surprised we broke 3K so easily considering our record and that the opponent was Lafayette, as opposed to last year's Homecoming sellout against local foe BU.

Hard to watch the team play today and not be excited about the next few years. They played with energy and there is some legitimate talent and toughness in the Freshman Class to go along with the remarkable improvement of JF.

PL really stinks this year. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be competing for a 2 or 3 seed. Bucknell, BU, and Colgate looking very good for top three seeds, but 4-10 looks pretty wide open [ BU (#218): Beat #107 Bucknell, and next best win is against #209 Army Colgate (#222): best win vs #204 UMBC These teams are not good. Running the table in the 2nd half should be completely realistic.

I asked PB about his injury....."Knee, MRI on Monday.."
It is nice to see the guys coming together..They all held together, when the score got close, they were able to open up the lead again..Not having PB available is changing the look of the team on the floor..More size and length on D, getting to shooters quicker..We don't have the small backcourt that our opponents can shoot over..Today the ball movement was very good, and it was nice to see some layups off the D, and off rebounds... How many dunks did JF have today? most off some nice passes! The one on the break (from Caleb) down the middle of the lane stands out to me...

The Jehyve technical on the dunk was a joke. And, to make it more maddening, the guy called it well after the play was over.

Floyd made all eight of his field goal attempts, becoming only the third player in school history to make 100.0 percent of his shots from the floor with at least eight attempts...5 were dunks!

That freshman class may have as many as four 1000+ point scorers.
