Is Nelson a foul or defend guy? We don’t know because we’ve never been in this situation before. The percentage play is to foul.

A foul guy - good.

That was almost as bad as Kearney blowing a 9-pt lead in the final minute.
Phew.

Did our best to give it away, but even a blind squirrel comes out on top sometimes.

Will Charlie Bare’s iPhone work tonight for a postgame reaction from Nelson?

On the post-game radio show from the Lehigh Valley, Dr. Reed was very complimentary of Caleb Kenney's defensive play. HC "has that athleticism" and played "very hard." The announcer highlighted key sequence by Gates in the 2nd half, which he thought was the turning point. "Careless play" says the good doctor by two LU seniors. "

Refs had to tell the Holy Cross bench to sit down on three different occasions in the second half.
Teams that have thrown in the towel do not have to be told to sit.

HC, 67-64. 4 seconds left. Foul immediately. Wait 2 seconds not immediately

Nice win but did anything change?
Well maybe people will realize the talent is better than some thought, and we should have more wins
Players abilities far surpass coaching talent

Nelson speaks. After a rare W of course. Do this after every game, or don't do it all.

Holy Cross had its best defensive rebounding game vs. D1, 83%. Also a very good 44% of O-boards.

Thought I was going to have a Fred Sanford moment during those last 30 seconds. But another win!
Caleb and Louth both need a lot of work on offense, but they played like men tonight, particularly Caleb.

Caleb and Dorsey led the D tonight, bug plays, blocks and good hands in the second half...I though overall the D moved much better, and Coach went with the defense when it counted...Luc has ice water in his veins, and is fun to watch out there...Louth is getting better each night out..He looks more confident and does a solid job on the boards, but hasn't yet shown much on offense..The game needs to slow down for him, he rushes everything... The team still has to learn what to do to win close games, Nelson told the players "NO THREES" yet they allowed the ball to be caught by a shooter outside the arc, too concerned about where the hoop was instead of the ball and their man....Little things...Nelson wanted to tke the foul up 3 at the end, they did that, but a bit early.. a learning situation... Still, a good win, a needed win!!

The team is a lot better than the record. Let’s see what happens.

Might be fair to say the team has the ability and potential to be better than the record. They clearly haven’t been coached or played like a team better than its record

They clearly haven’t been coached or played like a team better than its record Or maybe a major factor is that only one guy on the roster had played a full season of D1 basketball before this year? Just throwing it out there! Outside of some Calipari Kentucky teams, how often is this the case in college basketball? Not very often would be my guess. Go Cross Go!
