A competitive game would be great. A win is almost unthinkable but you never know. They feel the same way about the long bus ride to Worcester the way we think about the long bus ride to Hamilton. Of course, they probably spend that bus ride wondering whether they can break their all-time school record for made threes in a single game.

I still can't wrap my mind around beating Colgate in men's hoop as unthinkable but it is what it is.

DraftKings has HC+12.5 Interesting for those who like to take a grip - DK has an alternate straight bet on games. They have both teams getting more or less points, and adjust the payouts accordingly. For instance, among tonite's game lines - HC +10.5 pays $125 on a $100 bet (or $12.50 on a $10 wager.) Always find new ways to try to take your money!

Devil's advocate... just like us, it's Gate's 3rd game in 5 days (first two at home for them). They're notably deeper than us, a definite edge for them. But they also blew us out at their place a couple of weeks ago, and are playing for absolutely nothing tonight. They have clinched the #1 seed, and maybe get caught looking ahead to their Senior Day on Saturday vs. Navy?
Tall order for sure, but it's a much more meaningful game for us, and I'm looking for a better performance than we had in Hamilton, and a better performance than we had on Monday.

During Adonal Foyle's senior year, a pretty bad HC beat Colgate. On any given night. . .

I’ll jump on this ridiculous bandwagon and raise you a cliché:
“That’s why they play the game!” 😊

Oh, but hey, the reason why we’ve played poorly again lately is because we have to play 3 games in a week.
As Col. Potter used to say: “HORSE HOCKEY!”
These aren’t 40+ year old men, they are 18-22 year olds presumably in the fittest of their lives. You’d think the frequency of these games might cram some of that “experience” they’ve been lacking.

You’d think the frequency of these games might cram some of that “experience” they’ve been lacking. 3 games in a week might have more to do with prep time than fatigue In terms of playing poorly recently, I would certainly agree if "recently" was confined to two days but not four days. For this squad, they played a pretty good game Saturday. This team has not developed any consistency. We might see a decent performance tonight (win or lose) or we might see a stinker. Anybody's guess. For the record, I really want terms like "decent" and "pretty good" to have different meanings in 2023 and 2024 than I am tossing about in 2022. I do not want to label blowing a 15 lead half way through the second half vs a PL rival as "pretty good" going forward

I'm hoping KL's offense gets back on track tonight
Past 4 Games----Prior 6 Games
2 Pt Shots 11/36---29/55
2 Pt Pctg .305----.527
3 PT Shots 5/19----10/26
3 Pt Pctg .263----.385
Pts Per 40 Min 13.6----22.2

Funny how the NCAA looked at these young men the same way they looked at folks in convalescent homes the past two years. But then again, they allow men to swim against women!

Thank God we got rid of all of Carmody’s D2/D3 players then.😉

D looks suspect so far. Colorless Raiders are on track for 90.

If Colgate continues to ignore Dorsey beyond the arc, he needs to keep shooting. Nice looking stroke.

Dorsey passed up a 3 after hitting 2-3 already.

The 3 by KL is the very definition of "shots falling"

That 3 by Luc was the ugliest looking 3 I have seen. Only thing close was Serravalle's 3 from the corner vs. Navy 20 years ago.

Tom has won a promo gift bag from Fuel America.
Matt the Hype Guy for the games presented to Tom. For some reason, my feed tonight is not showing commercials commercials during the time outs. I can seen the activities in the Hart Center.
