At the half, six bench players and three starters had 9 points, combined. Grant also had 9; Connor had 16.

It is crazy that we are tied right now. Imagine if we actually played better.

The A10 is horrible.

Go Cats!

The computer rankings I've seen have the A10 ranked at #8. The conference is better than we give it credit for.

Conner with 16 of our 32.

He's at the top of his game today. Hope he can keep it up.

Skog isn't a widebody the way Venning is, but his absence has never been so obvious.

I have long maintained that a school's obligation to its athletes is to either give them the resources to compete where they are, or put them where they can compete with the resources they have. In our current situation, I much prefer the former.

It was said of our former coach: "McKillup recruits shooters and teaches them to be basketball players."

I'll go with Hunter.

No one ever gets called for palming/carrying the ball anymore. Is it still in the rule book? If games were called the way they were back when I was in high school (ca. early bronze age) it would be called 50 times a game.

Apex is only halfway point if release point is 10' off floor.

The Duquesne announcers were much more positive about our team than are our fans represented here.

+1. The announcing crew was surprisingly even-handed in their commentary.

Agreed.

A frosty for the Kiwi.

Grant didn't deserve to get waylaid but that was a needless play. Just let the clock run down and hand the ball over with three seconds left.
We wouldn't like it if an opponent did that.

Agreed. When the other team isn't defending, don't try to score.

AWFUL no-call on that steal!

yes.

Could have been a 5-point swing.

1,000 points for Conner. Congrats!

Sorry SlowCat, but calling DC a hostile environment for anyone seems to be a gratuitous cheap shot having provided no context or relevance to the thread to which you posted. Asking one of the only women who has ever bothered posting here, but has generally given up for being made to feel distinctly...
