Holy Cross coming off its worst shooting performance of a bad year, and American coming off its best defensive performance of the past ten games.

Got to change both of those stats if HC hopes to make its first trip to the quarterfinals since 2018

Perhaps, just perhaps, HC will play with more focus on each shot..Perhaps that will be a good thing for the shooting stats..I think the first 4 minutes of the game are very important to HC They must gain some confidence in their play on both ends of the floor....I'm sure the staff has shown the team the last American game and the players understand what needs to be done..... It will be nice to have some students in attendance, I hope the football team is there in their good voice!
GO CROSS GO!!!!

Might need more than free tickets to get them out, after prior bribes of pizza and t-shirts. Let's hope for the best!

It will be nice to have some students in attendance, I hope the football team is there in their good voice! GO CROSS GO!!!! It seems like we get in a hole early. It's not easy to test the 4 minute theory, although I agree 100% with your thoughts, but Ken Pomeroy provides scoring by quarter (10 minute segments) . In 18 games in the PL , after 10 minutes of play HC scored 10 or fewer points in 6 games (5 of the first 6 PL games and then in the second AM U game) HC has led in 2 games HC was tied in one game HC was behind in 15 games Here's the average score by quarter for HC and PL opponents Team =1st QTR---2nd QTR---3rd QTR---4th QTR
OPPONENT= 17.6---17.8---16.5---18.8
HOLY CROSS= 13.5---15.5---17.3---19.4
HC VS OPP= (4.1)--(2.3)--+0.8--+0.6
It's tough coming back when you're down a half dozen points at half-time but we have done so a number of times

Just once I would like to see them come out smoking, and be up 10-12 points at the first media TO

At least one team with similar problems changed its pre game and warmup routine

At least one team with similar problems changed its pre game and warmup routine Change? No chance that happens at HC. Same warmup, same starting lineup, same offense, same defense. A lot of adjectives can be used to describe Nelson but two of them are not “flexible” or “creative”. He’ll keep doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. He must be the easiest coach in the country to prepare for.

Another description would be nonsense or insanity But hope we win tonight--- albeit, never sure what team will show up on the bench or the floor

No King Cakes? Hardly Mardi Gras..., but a possible "Fat Tuesday."

Why would students settle for pizza when they have gourmet food in the dining halls? Announcer says "American is really turning it on at the end of their season; they've won 3 of their last 6 games". Wow. He also suggested GG be the POY. Should we tell him league bottom dwellers don't usually produce a POY.

What has impressed me the most so far as how many conversations that Nelson has apparently had with the announcers. Apparently he just doesn’t like to talk on camera.

Looks like we have no answer for easy back door cut layups.
Glad Nelson called a time out now let’s see if anything changes.
