Ugly or not, it's a much-needed W. Starting 0-2 in the league would have been very bad.

My internet feed,froze immediately after PB made the first shot.😤 I missed the last 11 seconds. Guess I will have to watch the reply. Can anyone descibe what happened. We fouled 3 times because they weren't in bonus. Third time they went to the line and blew the front end. PB raced it up the court, no one else open, took it to the hole and scored lefthanded. 0.2 seconds left! Thank you!

Is it my imagination or is MH constantly posting up? Isn't that new? Now I know that CBC reads this Board. We've been saying don't play PB and AT together and play Ziggy more. CBC is a pretty arrogant guy. So in order to give us the finger he plays AT & PB together and puts Ziggy in with less than a minute to go. You're really exactly this delusional, aren't you? The narcissism runs deep in this one.

Of all the comments on this board, this one may be the most delusional one. Do you seriously think that Coach does anything in response to the suggestions or complaints posted here? Or, hopefully you were just being sarcastic.
This wasn't a pretty win but it counts as a "W".
Sadly more near 3 second violations leading to poor shots than passes to a cutter. The vast majority of the interior game was unassisted with MA and PB slashing their way to the hoop. The offensive scheme simply doesn't produce good shots unless you consider an NBA 3 a good shot. Our shooting percentage is poor as we often get stuck taking very poor shots.
On a more positive note, this team never quit and showed a lot of heart. Given that the students are on break the lack of energy in the Hart is understandable.

PB's crossovers to get to the hole were a sight of beauty

IT HAD TO BE AN ATTEMPT AT SARCASM. COACH CARMODY HAS SAID HE DOES NOT READ CROSSPORTS...EVER. (NOT AS A PUT DOWN, IT JUST HAS NO MEANING FOR HIM.)
This wasn't a pretty win but it counts as a "W". INDEED IT WAS AND IT DOES.

That was a below average team game, but man what a make at the buzzer by Benzan!
After two league games my gut feel is that this is a painfully mediocre team with an opportunity to improve significantly.

I was writing my response as you were posting yours. I did not see yours until just now. Yours is sharper than mine as my best lines were pulled due to Dean Wormer. Odd that we would both use the word "delusional". What year are you?
Purple '71
p.s. my internet worked fine the first have but in the second half all of the players movements seemed mechanical although there was no problem with the audio.
Well, not I can go back to the USC/Penn State game which is also a "barnburner".

Off topic: Whoever wins the Penn State / USC football game will outscore HC / Navy. Tied at 49.
Some locals probably got home in plenty of time to see the ending.

A W is a W; but boy, that was ugly! Sometimes you need games like this to gain confidence. This team is hard to figure out. Played poorly the last two times out; which is a lot different than their play @ Harvard, or at home with Q and Monmouth. I'm confident the staff will right the ship!

Checking the box score it appears that our 3 point percentage was slightly higher than our 2 point shot percentage in this game. I suspect that is so as at least 6 of those missed 2 point shots were heaves to beat the 30 second clock.

I count 51 possessions in the game tonight -- can't remember a game with so few possessions.
Benzan developing into one of the leaders on this team right before our eyes. He won the game tonight.

Totally agree we snatched this Victory' from the jaws of defeat. I had told NAD that PB scored 2000 points in high school it's time this kid started shooting the 🏀. When he Missed the second foul shot, I wanted to rip my hair out! Shot clock and near shot clock violations have got to stop. PB did do some nice drives tonight at the end of game and we need more dribble penetrating, not back and forth on three point line. Win is a win but need to work on better game plan

People like MH and KC need to stay on the floor by avoiding needless fouls to give us a full compliment of offensive options. MH's 2 very early fouls were especially egregious. Put him on the bench for the rest of the half when we desperately needed offense

Pat's drive reminded me of Kyle Cruze's length of the court rush (and lefty layup) to beat Ohio in the 2007-08 season. Huge play in a real ugly game; way to go PB! We've had a few of those go the other way over the years (AU last year with Delante Jones, Army with Dylan Cox); nice to have one go our way!
Gotta feel some for Navy - they were very close to having a 2-0 start in the league (had the 9 point halftime lead against Bucknell, and now this one).

We actually out rebounded Navy today--hard to believe. 12 offensive boards for us
Two point fg shooting was again unfathomably bad

Back from the game . . . Believe all three of Benzan's layups were left-handed (he and Malachi are the only guys who seem comfortable going to their off hand). . . . PB's three from the corner with 6m to go was the first I've seen him take that was seriously contested - struck me as a very assertive decision on his part, not playing it safe but doing something because somebody had to. File under "leadership." . . . We had a terrible time operating against the 3-2, which took away everything along the foul line extended. DeChellis did us a huge favor by switching a few times in the 2nd half to M2M - every time he did, we scored or they fouled, and felt like it gave the team a confidence boost when the guys were becoming dispirited trying to figure out the zone. . . . Karl with another foul-plagued, subpar performance - just 22m, and we need him for 30-35. . . . Our defense was very ragged, especially in the last 4-5 minutes. Navy had numerous, wide-open shots that they just flat-out missed. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

A super double move an inside out followed by a front crossover at full speed/ . . . then, rather than assume the game is over, races back to the defensive end.
