This is definitely a winnable game. It hurts not really having a center. Sacred Heart's mediocre center needs to be challenged. This is a toss-up. Sacred Heart is good and deep.

Four TO's in 4 minutes. Awful!

2,250 at Hart tonight. Thats my prediction. I think that's wishful thinking, but could be in the vicinity. I went back to look at attendance in FHCBN's first home game at HC (Tuesday night against Fairfield, so similar circumstances as tonight against SHU) -- 1,712 attendance. For FHCBC, his first home game was a Thursday night against UNH -- 1,794 attendance. Despite the win over Georgetown and a new coach in town who is very likable and already made a great impression...it's a Tuesday night game against an opponent that isn't exciting. I'll give a bit of a bump in attendance thanks to Georgetown win and some buzz around the program and say 1,981. It would be nice if the band were there. On a separate note as far as students go, I imagine it's pretty hard to clap your hands while holding a phone.

I have to assume KY hs hoops is quite strong so being ranked 18th in the state is nice recognition. Having said that, we know rankings often aren't worth the paper they are written on.

I keep checking the print Courier-Journal for news of his signing and also for, hopefully, a feature article on "basketball players to watch this season" as the CJ has done before The Courier-Journal has an article on 30 bball players to watch this season. I used up my 2-3 free visits to their site.

Any predictions on total and student attendance ? Don't have one but HC will need to put the Georgetown win behind them quickly and focus on Sacred Heart. This game looks to be very far from a gimme not that HC is in any position to look at any game as such. I am confident the staff will have the team focused on the Pioneers by tomorrow.

First win at Big East since 1999-2000 at Providence ? Technically, at Notre Dame in the 2005 NIT. I forgot that ND was in the Big East.

Next W against Sacred Heart! They gave Iona a battle, 81-88, last night. Will be a tough game.

Nice win. Fun to have a coaching advantage in almost every game we play. It’s been a while. And an Octave. Holy cow. Fifteen years to be exact.

I wish I could have seen it. Was sitting waiting for an ESPN update with the good guys up by 68-67 with 3 tics left. It seemed to take forever. I couldn't understand why it said missed 3 by Batch almost immediately after an offensive rebound with 10 seconds left and up by one. Great win for the Crusaders.

Jordan Fuller had 5 carries for 20 yds. Did he get injured?

Can someone ask support staff when season tickets will be sent? I have mine. I asked About them and they were emailed the next day.. Ask Justin in the ticket office. Thank you.

Siena basketball is the only game in town for a large radius. Perhaps U of Albany should be considered as well but they are somewhat of a newcomer.

Season Tickets starting at 9 dollars per game at an arena is very low. I believe the upper level of the arena is tarped so the seats can’t be too bad.

If they just shoot mediocre from the line they win. Frustrating, to be sure. Will be interested in seeing how the frosh shoot from the line as more games are played. I'm hoping that as he gets more comfortable Nugent can start taking it to the hole. Now CDP is not keen on transfers, but - if there ever was a year to find a transfer big that could get plugged into the roster next year, ready to go, that would be the time. Very early, of course, but it looks like there is a really nice core on hand for the future. Singleton and Williams just look like ballers out there. And I hoping that Louth can stay healthy, and build off his second half. 3 assists to 1 turnover; if I recall a couple of years ago (when he got some decent playing time) he was one of the only guys with a positive assist to TO ratio. Frustrating but not all that surprising if you look at the career free throw % of our seniors. They aren't good free throw shooters and they took all 12 last night. I guess it's surprising in just how bad it was last night.

Tomorrow practice, all players will take 50 free throws, if we had hit them tonight we would have won the game. Not a bad idea but nothing like making them during the game with the bright lights on. As someone said once on the Providence board, he is a great 6 o’clock shooter.

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. At least the team looked like it was being coached up. DP knows, I think, that success depends, among other things, on the early development of the freshmen. They look promising. None looked overwhelmed. Louth showed some nice flashes. The development of Louth and Ryan are very important to the success of this team. I think one or the other will need to be on the floor for most of the game. Louth is a senior but this is essentially his sophomore year.
