At one of the practices I saw, HC worked on a play for this exact situation...

Liked that last play. Good 2nd half from the team tonight. I think we got the start of something here

Got a good look at the end. All in all, better than I thought going in. Frosh were good. I was down on Louth for a while but he came on towards the end. DP must see something there.

In a weird way, feels like we gave that game away after looking like we had no business in even having a chance.
Very encouraging.
Bo Williams Nugent Octave Louth
The five that got us there.
Interesting to see if this is who HCDP likes down the stretch going forward or if this was the group he was riding tonight.

Tomorrow practice, all players will take 50 free throws, if we had hit them tonight we would have won the game.

Tough loss but some positives. Some of these freshmen are good.

Bo and Louth absolutely need to practice their free throws. We didn't really see anyone else even get a shot at one.
They were that bad at it our entire team looked awful at them.

We don’t know how to win those yet.
We will.

The MVP Arena is nice. Sienna MBB, an Arena Football League team and a box lacrosse team but no minor league hockey team since 2017. HC has a similar model at the DCU if they ever need it. It would be nice to have that need at some point during the Paulsen era. Tonight's game was very encouraging.

Lost the game on free throws Siena 16 for 21 from the line HC 3 for 12 3 for 12 is about what you'd see from a bad middle school team.

We are not going anywhere if Louth can't develop. We need a consistent center. We are too inexperienced and inconsistent to play a small ball lineup. I give him a pass for now bc it's his first legit game back from injury. I still think we will be better than last year

Once the jitters got out of the guys, they looked pretty good..43 second half points...Their D got better as the game moved on..Williams did a pretty good job on Ely in the 2nd half. A lot of good play to build on...Louth had a solid game, he looks like he will be a big part of the success of the team...It was good to see the team do some of the stuff they worked on with some success..Double teaming the post, and the last possession play.
Much to work on, but a solid foundation to build on...The eye ball test gave me a good feeling for the future..

How nice is it to actually have a good coach again?
This team is young/imexperienced overall with an iffy front-court right now....but they will be fine this year.
Not expecting much overall success this year but just improved play.....I saw that tonight.

Good to see Louth start to get untracked.
Just have to start shooting at the line better, because they can't expect to hit so many threes every game.
Caleb can guard a 6-8 kid ok, but it's unfair to expect him to contest 6-10 types.
Looks like Kirkwood and Rabs were the only DNPs.

I thought Ryan did an admirable job when he was out there as well. His development I think will be really key to our season. He doesn't have to emerge as a star, or a starter even, but having a second guy with size will really help later on.

Interesting to see if this is who HCDP likes down the stretch going forward or if this was the group he was riding tonight. Your feeling is correct. In the end, we did what CDP said happens many times. We lost a golden opportunity to steal what would have been a very nice win. We beat ourselves with two enormous turnovers in the last 45 seconds and left 12 points on the table from the free throw line. Having said that, there were many encouraging signs tonight.

Rabs was fit to play in the Maccabi Games in the summer of 2022 but has been iffy since. I hope he can contribute something before he graduates. I am sure he is doing everything he can.
