Sounds like a lot to like despite the score. Lowder sounds and statistically proved this young man is a star. Hargis and Pridgen pleasant surprises.

I thought we'd lose by 50.

I thought we'd lose by 50. I thought it might be some kind of epic blowout myself......

I thought we'd lose by 50. I guessed 45 - was really pleasantly surprised.

Lots of positives from tonight....A good start at building a solid team this season...Similar to football?? The early season games are to get ready for the PL season.... The early season games are about winning. all games are about winning. If, however, you want to build a program That wins consistently they need to learn what it takes this was a perfect learning experience for this group-the good, bad and less than desired

Lowder is very good. We will be better than people thought, not a championship, but very competitive. Still need to work on the boards on both ends. A young team that can only get better as the year goes on.

Did Lowder set a record tonight for most points by a freshman in his debut?

Scoring 71 against Maryland is a very bullish sign. I figured 50s at best.

Just winning? I had not realized that. Do teams that want to win early on really go and schedule one of the best teams in the country at the opponent's court? I believe that, much like the games against Navy and Syracuse in football, this was a chance to test out your athletes' skills and to help team building...a learning experience for our coaches and players.

Snagged a $4 ticket and made it on the Metro in time for the game. Drew Lowder is the real deal. Thought Pridgen and Hargis played really well - Hargis had a nice dunk late in the game. Niego hit some shots, but Maryland’s bigs were too much to handle in the paint. Austin Butler tried to do too much tonight, but still played his heart out as always. Matt Faw looked hurt. Way too many fouls, although it’s opening night against one of the top teams in the land. Nice home crowd for a weeknight game. Maryland knows how to celebrate their basketball tradition. A lot to be encouraged by. We’re on to New Hampshire!

Did Lowder set a record tonight for most points by a freshman in his debut? Best I can think of is Torey Thomas, 18 vs BU in 2003.

What did RJ score his first game?
RP Jr was a big scorer from the minute he walked on the court but I can't recall how many points he scored in game one--think we've discussed on this board before

After the game I took a look at the box score and realized Faw and Wade were scoreless. Neither one was able to get in a flow but once they get rolling this year I think this group will be difficult to slow down by most PL opponents-the question will be how many teams can we stop and with time, coaching and player development that could lead to interesting game results

I only had the WEEI audio, but this certainly didn’t sound like a last place PL team.
Dilemma for Saturday: Fitton Field with online following from UNH or vice versa? A good problem to have!
