Can only speak for myself. Season ticket holder (2 tickets) and had planned to make today a football/basketball doubleheader. However, despite our best efforts to keep the rain off us, we were soaked (no, sportfans, Dartmouth '66 game was worse, much worse, but I'm 56 years older) and chose to go back home and watch on ESPN+. So, that's 2. I'll also say that when I've been at the basketball games a number of identifiable season ticket holders are MIA. 800? Not sure. But a lot.

They said they're resting Octave so he can get his knee back in shape. Neither Louth's nor Rabs' situation was mentioned. Neither has impressed me with their resiliency in their up-to-now thoroughly mediocre college careers.

ON the TV broadcast, it was said Batch broke his nose early in the game....Good to see Wilbar get some time and produce..Louth injured again? He's going to graduate looking like Rocky.

Think trimster was pretty close with his attendance estimate of about 400. Actually a few more people than I thought.
Shocked that I didn't run into Jay Bilas at this one.
Nice to see some production from the latest transfers.
Highlight for me was crusader1970 coming over to say hello at halftime!

Appreciate the effort of kids like Wilber (we knew he could shoot from the films) and Tse (couple nice drives to the hoop; get the turnovers under control); but the skill level just isn't there. No matter who's on the bench in 23-24; it's going to be very hard to replace Gates w/o new faces.
A "Tommy Point" to Will B for playing through that facial injury. Hope getting it fixed isn't going to cost him games.

Perhaps, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” Contrast the two bigs sitting there watching versus the kid playing who should have been at the ER getting his face fixed up. Yeah, maybe I should reserve judgement on that and there's really something wrong with either or both of them. We shall see. Clearly Octave simply doesn't look right and I hope some rest & rehab does the trick.

Can only speak for myself. Season ticket holder (2 tickets) and had planned to make today a football/basketball doubleheader. However, despite our best efforts to keep the rain off us, we were soaked (no, sportfans, Dartmouth '66 game was worse, much worse, but I'm 56 years older) and chose to go back home and watch on ESPN+. So, that's 2. I'll also say that when I've been at the basketball games a number of identifiable season ticket holders are MIA. 800? Not sure. But a lot. Dad '46 took me when I was 9 to the '66 Dartmouth game. Dartmouth was ranked (16th?) and its 11-game winning streak was the longest in the country. Never forgot the name of the Dartmouth INDIANS QB: Mickey Green. And it was Homecoming. Thought of that game yesterday, wondering which HC game I've been to over the years was the worst weather. Thought there had to be a couple of candidates for rain, and didn't remember Dartmouth as the worst, but maybe it was. But me and Dad stuck it out! Lasting memory!!

Think Monsoon.

With two (Octave Coulibaly) of the core seven not dressed, I wondered if the remaining 5 were all going to play 40 minutes.
OK - I get that this was CCSU, but with Batchelder getting the blow to the face, minutes had to come from somewhere. Gates was huge, Dorsey stepped up, but in the big picture, things didn't crumble with Tse and Wilbar getting meaningful minutes. Kirkwood also got a little run. Nothing really memorable from Kirkwood - as a great play or a major mistake.
I'm guessing that if Batchelder does have a broken nose, he will wear some sort of mask during games to protect his nose. That might take a little getting used to. 3 point sho0ting and peripheral vision
A win is a win. They're rare enough we should enjoy them when they come

This team has faced nothing but negative and this is a nice boost for all. CCSU came in winless but has been close in a lot of their games. I figured the Blue Devils would smell blood and take care of business up in Worcester. Not so, well done team. I'm semi-disappointed I didn't stick around for the basketball game. But having been out of the house since 8am and going on a trip out to Montana next weekend, I wanted to try to get a little family time in yesterday evening. Decorated my daughter's little Christmas tree before she went to bed so it was all worth it. I've never in my life hit less traffic on the Merritt coming home. And I got my wife's "where are you, what's your ETA" call just as I was getting off the Bronx River Parkway, 5 minutes from pulling into my driveway so that worked out well. I'm sure she enjoyed that response more so than if I were in Sturbridge approaching the CT line. I'm sure I'll get to catch the MBB team in action at least a couple times before season is done.
