Rodney is consistently the last player down the court...terribly difficult to root for him...

For God's sake, where is Watson? Has he played at all in the 2nd half?

Stony Brook coach must recruit very well. Assuming they have similarly ranked players out there today?

Whew we escaped again. Planek changed this game.

Swiss Army knife almost blew the game missing a point blank put back in the final seconds.

Fortunate to be adequate 68% at line. Good going guys. It's the percentage I asked for in preseason. Hope for that (or better).

2 more games this week and I would think it is unlikely we see Kyron. He was on crutches after turning his ankle...
Could be ugly on Wednesday at Mohegan...
And even uglier as they hit BE ....

A few positives....
MAL is the best we have at attacking the rim.
Watson played a nice offensive game.
Planek played hard and provided a defensive spark.

Injuries/illness are a serious problem for us but even before Kyron got hurt this team looked totally lost on both ends.
We're letting the Stony Brooks of the world come into our building and dictate to us! We're not aggressive on defense and not decisive on defense.
Given all that the coaches pulled this one out with the insertion of Planek. Granted it was probably out of desperation but it injected an energy and intensity we were solely lacking.
Jackson stepped up. Hopefully sign of things to come.
Watson is as gifted a freshman front court player on the offensive end for us that I can remember but he is a total defensive liability. Ed did a great job working him and Planek in on offense/defense late.
MAL is not showing the overall game I expected given the hype and ratings. I'm not trying to over critical as he's just a freshman but he has the tools to be a good on ball defender but is the opposite now as opposing guards keep blowing by him. He also obviously has to work on his jump shot and a pull up game to be effective at this level. He does not seem confident on the court for some reason- expected him to be cocky and fierce given his record in prep school and AAU. Given all that we don't in today without him and I give him credit for toughing this one out and making some big plays late. .

MAL, Cartwright, Young and Watson have not played much defense this year. MAL has gotten a few steals in the press, but his half court defense has been awful.
