Sloppy, sloppy team. Like the spark from Donovan Brown today. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for Frank to figure out his guys

Marcus Banks, elite shooter. Why can't they run something to get him open looks? This offense looks so disjointed

Sparse crowd for this game as well as women's earlier. Where's the students, all studying on a Saturday? :lol:

I forgot that Tariq Foster transferred to Albany.

I like Dimitri Clerc...a big body….takes up a lot of space and he hustles. He seems to have those proverbial ’long arms’! :wink:

We’re running High school offensive plays

Tough turnover for D. Brown but otherwise scored 5 in 3 mins and didn't return. What's up with that?

The D really picked up after the first 12 mins. Think this team will continue to ramp up.

Would have put our better shooters out there for that last shot at the half

PG play's still a big work in progress.

Franks substitutions rotation makes absolutely no sense
