That's great and how it should be. But its also early. Frank has a big part in keeping them in that mindset. Previous years started that way but it broke down over the season

I hope so!!!! im trying to stay positive and support the team. I think all of us want that. lol seems like we do go off the rails in the past. I saw them practice hard. I saw everyone engaged. i saw a lot of teaching going on . I hope in game that we make the adjustments needed and still bring that energy. All in on the boys. I just hope the students can make an effort.

We need to support all of our sports but especially hoops. I dont like the argument if they win they will come. We should be all in no matter, is it so hard to come out and cheer on your school for 2 hrs? on to the game.....lemoyne has always played tough and has beaten the Cuse over the years in November. Cant look past these teams ever. focus, limit turnovers, make f'ing foul shots and good things will happen
Huge appeal to the kids. Everyone of you are literally a 10 to 15 walk to the Mullins. take a break and show up for christ sake. Be a part of the University. home by 9
LOL - I laugh only because I know exactly what you're saying, but I don't think 3000 students have gone to a basketball game in two years combined let alone a game vs Le Moyne! I was fortunate to be at UMass during the early to mid 90's so all I knew was planning my days around game days. These students won't walk 10-15 minutes in 30 degree weather if they aren't good - they proved late in Franks 2nd year (Cohen, Cross, etc) they will absolutely show up if they win. I believe the URI game that yr had close to 6000. I also remember when Dayton was highly ranked with Obie Toppin - I don't recall the exact attendance but I bet it was close to 7000 - so they will show up if they are good

need to move student section to court side not behind the hoop. ya wishful thinking to get a bunch of students. I do love when the come to hockey
ya Thursday nights in the mid 80s kicked off the weekend . Friday became very gray area as far as classes

Decent half. My guess is they'll tighten up defensively a bit and make this a 20+ pt win.
Banks can really shoot it, and aside from a couple miscues, Bettiol had a nice half. Our depth will wear them down

This bunch of guys look pretty. At least there are more 3-point shooters this year.

Good win for the team. A few sloppy moments but overall a nice win. Much more balanced this season, and the effort has been pretty good. Banks is a sniper, he could have a couple monster games this year. Such a smooth shooting stroke. Parker is solid as well.
I give Le Moyne credit, they had some players & didn't quit

They did what they needed to win. Clean up the turnovers.

Need to come out aggressive against CCSU, Sellers teams are always sneaky good. Need to make up for last years loss.

Good win, took care of business against a team they should have. Build positive momentum, work on the things they need to clean up, and be ready to get some revenge on CCSU.
