Massey has HC (18-7) favored by 9 (58-49) and gives HC a 77% chance for the win.

Time to stop the slide. Hang onto second place for dear life. We learned from FB that seeding is crucial.

It is also time to put two halves of good play back to back. The second half may well be the key tomorrow and in coming games, while cutting down on turnovers.

The women have 10 pretty good players and no real "star". They need at least two or three to play well to get a win and CM has the task of deciding who those 2/3 are each night. Same with the men but with much smaller numbers from which to choose.

The game is on ESPN3. I wonder if we'll notice an upgraded broadcast.

This is going to be a tough 2nd half. Hope we're ready to battle.

No movement on offense. Timeout, down 42-31 with 3:34 in 3rd

What a joke Massey is. 77% chance of winning. The league seems to have caught up to HC, or HC has fallen back to the pack. Two of the worst brain cramps you'll ever see at the end of the game. Some of the young players hitting the late season wall? Coaching issues?

O-boards was everything. 15-3 Colgate. Not going to beat many teams that take 19 more shots than you
Was not good to see Colgate okie-doke us on the sideline inbounds play at the end. We did have the other basket defended though!

Opposing teams have adjusted by being more aggressive and physical against us in the second half of the season and forcing us to start the offense another few feet away from the basket. We seem to have problems making our own adjustments

This team is sinking faster than the Titanic, they can't win at home, embarrassing.

True, but the staff needs to coach the young team through this. Too many attempts to drive the passes inside, not enough hard screens on the perimeter, and passing is too slow and not crisp. This is a youth problem and not enough coming from the staff.
They will grow together but early success is not a guarantee development is automatic- this young staff suffers from it's early successes- which were many

This team is not that young - after Cross there are 3 juniors with a lot of experience- BPC, Allen and McCormack - very disappointing making crucial mistakes down the stretch - coaching can improve too

This is about a few coaching adjustments and player development
The league has adjusted, referees have allowed a more physical game, and we have not made the needed changes.

Too many minutes with 3 smalls in there, perhaps?

By the way ESPN3 is a disastah, at least for me. No ability to fast forward or rewind like you can w/ESPN plus.

Too many minutes with 3 smalls in there, perhaps? Out of a potential 120 minutes, our three players with the best potential to match physical play of opponents, Allen, Berger and Donnelly only played 54 minutes and none were in foul trouble. So the resource is there if HC wants to become more physical. And those three are relatively mobile, too

How about Forman, too. McC and Cross were 0-8, were both playing at the end when we needed points and rebounds.

The coach has been playing abt 9 in most games and I think the staff is struggling with who they want on the floor late in tight games . She needs to shorten the bench and get more efficiency on the floor in pressure situations.

And those three are relatively mobile, too I’m curious if Colgate now has a different team than the one who I watched play Bucknell twice. That Colgate team was small, almost always using three players 5–8 or smaller, and was weak on the boards. Not really physical at all.

Will we distribute rings for an undefeated league record halfway through the PL season?
