I'm looking for fewer fouls for sure today. For the first game I called for Butler and Wade to combine for 6-13 on threes--instead AB took no shots and Wade went 0-5. How about 4 for 10 today? Maybe Lehigh will put more emphasis on interior defense to stop Gates and that will open up some outside shots for AB and RW.
Will Martindale play? He had two fouls and a turnover in 1 minute of play and never returned--was he injured as well?
Maybe a big surprise--coming out party for our Canadian big man??

Maybe someone has an explanation for this- Martindale has 7 rebounds....in 7 games. OK, 6, if we throw out yesterday's cameo appearance.
Other than Rab's brief appearance in Game #1; he's the second tallest guy we put on the floor. Could that be why he's not playing?

If LC was deemed not ready to hit the floor yesterday, what in the world would have happened overnight to make him ready today? A good night's sleep. I just don't see it happening.

This looms as a very important game. Lose this one, and we fall into danger of not qualifying for the PL tournament. At very least, need to have this weekend split so as to not lose a head-to-head tiebreaker with Lehigh if it comes down to that.

My hope is Martindale does not turn into a Clayton LeSann. Not as a person, as Clayton was an excellent person and no doubt a solid student, but turned out to have a number of flashes in the pan great games but disappeared in most. Was he overhyped as a recruit? Time will tell.

Agree with trimster that it’s hard to imagine that Louth wasn’t ready yesterday but could all of a sudden be ready to make a meaningful contribution 24 hours later. Mike isn’t even dressing so he’s not going to suddenly help today. The mystery man is Martindale. No idea if he’s hurt or in the doghouse for some reason. We could certainly use him for some depth and shooting today. Would also be nice to see him a little more active on the glass if he plays. Would also be nice if all five of Matt’s fouls today are going for blocked shots and none of the ticky tack ones that have plagued him.

Was he overhyped as a recruit? Time will tell. He’s played fewer (credit: nhteamer) than 100 minutes of college basketball. I think there’s still at least a chance he’ll be a pretty good player. That said, if he doesn’t drop 30 today, I reserve the right to change my mind.

HC92 - Please explicitly predict that he will NOT drop 30 today ... ya know, just to be safe for the rest of Martindale's career.

In the first 9 HC games of his freshman year Jehyve Floyd played in 4 games, 23 minutes total, committing 5 fouls and grabbing 2 rebounds. He did score 7 points. Extrapolating from that small sample, few would have predicted how big a contributor he would become. I think it's too early to tell on any of the freshmen, except maybe RJ

AL's scoring give HC a 21-17 edge in the quarter. BUT both Demski and Powers-Cassidy now have 4 PF each and it looked as though Ezemma was hurt in her fall to the floor. Wrong thread

We can't play at this pace with them. Key to our comeback yesterday was slowing them down in the half-court in the second half. Let's see if Wade is first off the bench.

Over 4 minutes to finally score - trailing 2-8. Not a good start.

Got it in time for the LU three and the HC offensive foul. Gosh I am glad I got in here.
