Helping fill seats if not a home crowd feel, Lafayette has a kid from 15 minutes down the road. Vander Baan Jr didn't play much in the first game

We know that Mike Piwko can at least hit his free throws. Seemed to move okay out there. If we needed a body to come in for a spurt here or there, maybe Nelson should give him a look.
Lafayette doesn't shoot much better than we do at the line (63.6%). Josh Rivera and Kyle Jenkins -- two of their big guys -- are a combined 58-121 on free throws this year. We should not be allowing any easy layups at all to them, but the problem is it's not like we have any depth whatsoever, so can't be getting into foul trouble.

Vander Baan Jr didn't play much in the first game VDB played less than 10 mpg in LC's first ten PL games. But now he has played a total of 48 minutes in their last two games, scoring in double figures both times. Either he's getting better or their new coach has decided it's tough to win playing a 6-7 center almost the entire game. (Btw, I don't believe he is a jr.)

VDB would have been a nice player at HC.. I talked to AVB at a game when he was just into the portal.. AVB said he was going to talk to his cousin about coming to HC. Some kids want Tibet’s but further from home I guess..
I saw him play in HS, was more of a face the hoop player.

I don't see what's stopping HCBN from playing any remaining player significant minutes, walk-ons or not. How bad could piwko or capron be if they play 5ish min a game just to give the starters some rest or soak up fouls???

But I know it is easy to type it here, much harder to do it in reality..

ESPN+ has a feed w/o audio. Teams start a combined 4-22 from the floor. Rims are in danger.

I wonder if we could have used the Vander Baan guy? Does he have a connection to HC?

Vander Baan is killing us - I have asked here many times - did we ever pursue him from the portal ? did we take Wilbur over Vander Baan ? anyone know the backstory ?

I know we are short handed but so hard to watch. Gate’s really struggling against height and double team. My heart goes out to our players, playing hard

We have had so many open looks from 3 - shots not even close (exc for Batch of course) - sad to see - simply poor shooting on our home floor
