Army had the better record but we've got Big Mo (Momentum).

BN used 9 players and ALL NINE had rebounds (Army had 38 rebounds to HC's 35). 21 of 26 free throws (to 14 of 23 for Army) proved to be the difference.

Absolutely! My posts about the non-syncing of the live stats and video really look silly in retrospect (I figured out my problem and fixed it) and, yes, 3 in a row is big, especially against D1 teams! (It's like 2 varsity teams playing each other rather than a varsity team playing a JV team).

HC has clearly learned to play as a team...and on an AWAY court!

Night and day difference between the way this team played at the beginning of the season and now. Much more disciplined play. Gritty performance.

Great win. For the second game in a row, we weather 2nd half storms on the road against teams near the top of the pL, showed no signs of panic, and made big plays to win down the stretch.
Huge game Monday. By my quick count, in the 12 seasons since RW left in 2009, we have been .500 or better through 10 pL games just 2 times.
Anyone continuing to deny significant progress for this program is just being a hater (and probably laid the points today, ha!).
Go Cross Go!!!

Team developing late game poise, and on the road, no less.

Fantastic job by Luc...you can see his "experience." This is so true! Little things, with 1:30 or so left in the game, Luc did a great job to get free to recieve a pass...He stopped and made the defender stop, then Luc popped out to easily recieve the ball. Early in the season he did not do this. He would have just floated out, and the defender would have been right there...Little things the team has learned..I think it was Townsell who had the ball on the wing and looked to pass the ball to a teammate at the top of the key. Malcom started to pass and then recognized the defender undercutting the passing land. Malcom held the ball, no steal for a layup! As a whole the team is solid on D, getting over the top of screens, making good switches, boxing out on rebounds, and getting to the ball...9 turnovers for the game...8 for 18 shooting 3's (44.4%),

Not a pretty game to watch, but a win is a win. Holy Cross shot just 38% from the floor, but 81% (21-26) from the line - made more free throws than field goals. Playing Army and Navy rarely is pretty but always a good win

Just stop this cr@p!! Winning three is a row is indeed progress. However, it is NOT " significant progress" over what we should have expected earlier in the year. And, who exactly are the "haters," hating? Holy Cross? The players? The coaches? Nelson? I'm guessing you feel it is hating Nelson. Thinking he was not a good choice or that he's not a great coach is not the same as hating him. Speaking for myself, I'm extremely happy for all involved, especially the players and the coaches, and I hope they continue to play well and win. Many here have already stated, myself included, that if indeed there is significant progress (or words to that effect), we'll be happy to say so. And, that Coach Nelson should have at least the rest of the season to prove that he is a solid coach. Just keep winning. And no one is "a hater" here.

It was in the game stats. weird, I had to shut off the stats, and restart them to get 21-26! Previously it was 15-20, and had the final score up top and correct....I like 21 -26 better!!

However, it is NOT " significant progress" over what we should have expected earlier in the year. Wrong! What we "should" have expected early this year is very inconsistent play from a team with a total of one player who had completed a full season of Division 1 College Basketball. Ever think that perhaps the major problem was with your expectations, and not the coaching staff? Just something to consider! Go Cross Go!!!

Gates and Luc are a nice endgame duo. Gives you confidence if you have the lead in the last couple of minutes.
Enjoying the moment.
